Good To Know

Q: Is it difficult to install this dispenser paddle assembly? A: No, this assembly typically snaps or screws into place behind the front dispenser trim panel after disconnecting power to the refrigerator.

Q: Will this lever paddle fix a dispenser that won't stop running? A: While a cracked paddle can jam, a non-stop dispenser is often caused by a faulty microswitch or solenoid valve which should be checked separately.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
