• Can address ice not dispensing due to the door not opening/closing
• May resolve clicking or grinding noises from the dispenser area

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel to access the ice door assembly; handle wiring carefully
• Note linkage and wire orientation before removal to ensure proper reassembly
• After installation, test the dispenser to verify the door opens/closes and seals the chute

This lighted dispenser actuator pad assembly replaces the extra-large paddle you press to dispense water or ice from the door. It restores smooth, reliable activation and visibility when the original pad is cracked, worn, or unresponsive.

• Acts as the user-pressed paddle that engages the dispenser switch for water/ice
• Integrated illumination helps light the dispenser alcove for easier use in low light
• Helps address intermittent dispensing, sticking or continuous dispensing, or the need to press excessively hard
• Replaces broken, loose, or discolored paddles for better function and appearance

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Remove the drip tray and dispenser trim/escutcheon to access the pad assembly
• Release retaining tabs/screws and disconnect any wire harnesses; note orientation

• Reduces rattling and movement during cooking
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal scraping and scratches on the cooktop
• Replace if pads are missing, flattened, brittle, or the grate rocks

• 1 pad

• Allow the appliance and grates to cool completely; disconnect power/gas if servicing near burners

• Restores proper alignment when cracked, warped, or broken facade causes interference
• Helps prevent drafts and minor water splash at the dispenser area

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the appliance before servicing
• Many installations require removing the dispenser bezel and releasing snap-clips or screws; save hardware for reinstallation
• Handle plastic trim carefully to avoid scratches; use a soft pad when setting parts down
