This “Dispenser Door Assembly” (Door Recess Assembly, Ice Door Assembly, Dispenser Door, Refrigerator Dispenser Ice Chute Door Kit, Dispenser Door Flap, Ice Chute Door, Flapper) keeps the room air from infiltrating the freezer. Once the lever is pressed, the door flap opens and allows the ice to dispense into your container. If your door flapper is broken, it could allow outside air to enter the freezer and alter the inside temperature. You may notice frost buildup surrounding the dispenser area. The door flap can disconnect from the dispenser lever, or the tabs that hold it in place may break. Frequent use may distort the sealing face and cause air leaks and frost buildup. This part mounts in the ice dispenser, and measures approximately 3.25 inches in diameter. It is constructed of plastic and rubber, and comes in white/black. This part is sold individually.

You can use a utility knife to cut the old water line where it is damaged, and use the union to attach the new water line to the old one. This tubing is sold individually and is an OEM part.

The door recess crank for your refrigerator is located inside the water dispenser assembly. To access this part, you will need to take apart the dispenser assembly.

This part is made of white plastic and is sold individually.
This OEM water filter works with side-by-side and bottom freezer refrigerators. You will find this filter mounted in a vertical position in the back upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment. If your model does not have an indicator light, remember to use the month and year stickers on the new cartridge to remind yourself to replace it in another 6 months. Replacement timelines can vary according to your local water conditions. To install the new filter, you will first match the threads with the corresponding threads on the holder. Position the top of the new cartridge up into the holder without pushing it upward. Carefully turn it to the right until it will no longer turn. Make sure you run water through the dispenser right after installation. This clears the system and prevents sputtering. If you have an LCD model, press the Filter Replaced button to reset. If you have a non-LCD model, press and hold the Reset Water Filter button on the dispenser for a few seconds. This filter filters down to 0.5-1 microns. The lower the micron the more toxins are caught and lessened.
