It worked! Start with this instead of 'micro switch'.
My water did not dispense and the unit manual suggested the 'Micro switch'. Well it was installed but still no water, Then I called to talk with a tech and he suggested the 'door solenoid'. The video assistance takes you right to the problem. My solenoid was encrusted in rust. Once the new one was installed we had water dispensing.

I started by finding thw dispenser door part. On the parts diagram it showed all the other parts I might need to replace. Due to the age of the fridge I decided to replace them all, especially the sprIngs. I made sure to watch all of the videos for each part. Although they overlapped, each one showed the repair in more detail. The repair
... Read more was as shown. If your frosge has been in service like mine for many years, plan on taking thw whole ice chute and dispenser door assembly out for thorough cleaning. One trick I learned is to take pictures as I disassemble so I can refer back for reassembly. When I put it together, the microswitch didn't work. I ordered that part, the only one I missed initially and installed it when it came in. Everything worked well. There was no video for the torsion spring and alignment of the chute and frame is tricky, make sure you take a picture. Part Select should dona video foe that. The putty knife trick for the trim ring was key. It was only shown in one video for an internal part so glad I watched them all.
Ice dispencer door does not close properly causing ice formation
Used the instruction provide by Part Select, which are easy to follow.

Flap on ice maker would not close
First tried just replacing flap/spring and mounting. Still did not work so then order a new solenoid with piston that attaches to mounting. That solved problem completely. Corrosion around piston prevented fluid movement of flap. Easy fix after watching video. Saved a bundle I'm sure. Thanks !!!

Flapper Door stuck open
The only tricky part was removing the front panel. Releasing the latches required considerable force. The best tool I found was a "jack knife" type Allen wrench set, using the medium size wrench, which fit into the release hole and upward pressure did the trick. The rest of the job was very easy.
We had problems with the ice dispenser chute building up frost from condensation freezing due to the flap not closing properly. It would clog up completely and often. I had already replaced the flap and spring years ago but it didn't help much. I Googled this problem for my model and found a video detailing how to check and change the so
... Read morelenoid. Sure enough, the solenoid was completely corroded and crumbled in my hands as I removed it. I ordered the replacement part and made the repair myself. The video was perfect in describing. If your refrigerator is well used as ours is, you'll be shocked by the buildup and cleaning that will be necessary as you make this repair. I ended up taking much more of the dispensing assembly apart so I could clean it with warm soapy bleach water. Be mindful as you disassemble or take photos / videos with your smartphone to help put it back together. It took longer to clean than replace the solenoid. Also, be careful if you have an island or other cabinetry close by. If you have to pull the refrigerator out to unplug it, the handles can chip granite edges or the top corners can scratch wood work. We have cherry cabinets that surround ours. I chipped the edge of the granite when I pulled it out and I scratched the wood as I pushed it back in place. Minor repairs but can save you some frustration. Good luck!

How does the door solenoid assembly work . I replaced the flapper because it didn't close properly. Now it sometimes closes. Does the solenoid operate the flapper. Do l need a new spring for the flapper assembly? Almost hopeless help.
For model number GSS25QGMDWW
Hi Robert,
Thank you for the question. Yes the solenoid is what controls the flapper and opens and closes it when dispensing ice. Unless you can see physical damage or wear to the spring it can be reused with the new flapper and solenoid.
Hope this helps!

I can only get crushed ice from the door dispenser.
For model number gss20Ietabb
Hi Latorius,
Thank you for the great question.Try to pull your ice bin out and check the opening where the gold or brass colored rod enter. There is a solenoid part number PS1483583 inside that should actuate and move the bucket arm in order to dispense cubes. Stick your finger in there and to get it to drop down. The solenoid may be damaged, or just frozen in place. Once it drops down leave the freezer door open, actuate the door switch with your finger, while pressing the ice lever in the dispenser. Make sure you have selected cube. If the solenoid is working will go up then back down when you release the lever. If not, then you will need to remove the housing and see if it is full of frost. The solenoid shaft must move freely in order to work properly. They can also rust with time and prevent the free movement.
Hope this helps!

My refrigerator does not dispense ice or water. It makes plenty of ice, but does not dispense. Could this be the problem with part number ps 1483583, dispenser door solenoid, or ps 1483583, micro switch? Or something else? What do you suggest? I don't want to order more parts than i need.
For model number ZFSB26DNDSS
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your inquiry. It actually could be either of those parts. What I would suggest is that you test them with a multi-meter and see if either of them are malfunctioning. Usually it is more likely that the dispenser solenoid is the problem, however you can test them to make sure. I hope this helps!

I have problems with freezer door ice maker dispenser flapper not closing - question ? Is this caused by faulty solenoid valve? Should i replace and what is cost of part? Thank you
For model number DSHF5PGXAEWW
Hi Art,
Thank you for your question. It could be your solenoid. I would suggest also just taking a quick look at the spring and the housing that holds your door. Sometimes it is just a simple break in a piece there that will keep that door from closing properly. If you do not see any physical damage, you can test your solenoid to see if it is broken or not with a multi meter. The price of the part is up above in the part information. Good luck with your repair.

Recently replaced filter. Now water flows from the dispenser without pressing on the switch. Replaced the micro switch but it did not stop. It seems the valve is stuck open. Any other parts to try replacing.
For model number PSDF3YGXBFWW
Hello Warren, thank you for your question. Yes, if the water valve is dispensing water without pressing the switch, and you have already changed the micro switch, I would recommend replacing the water valve. If the water valve is stuck open the water will continue to dispense. I hope this helps!

Is there a way i can prevent the solenoid assembly from freezing up or rusting up??? it seems ive relpaced this bit about 3 times already.
For model number GE gss23wgtabb
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your question. If the solenoid assembly is freezing or rusting, make sure that the dispenser door is closing and sealing properly. Also, check to see if there is frost build-up, by removing the ice bin. If the solenoid is rusting, there may be some spillage or splash from the water dispenser. Try using a thin coat of vegetable oil on the dispenser door to help prevent the door from rusting. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Have a small water leak at the water dispenser. When we close the valve a little water will continue to leak.
For model number GCL22QGTESV
Hi Russell,
Thank you for your inquiry. That could just be the water that is still in the line. I would suggest testing your water inlet valve to see if it is working correctly. Otherwise you might have to look at your water line and see if there is a leak somewhere. Good luck with your repair.

Glenda

First ,we are only getting crushed ice and maybe a cube every once in a while. Is it the solenoid or maybe something else.Also our ice makes more ice than we use in any given day. I usually bag it and put it in the deep freeze. It seems to freeze up around the end where the blades are and where the rod is in the back.How can i adjust it to make less ice. Please help .
For model number GSH22JFTEBB
Hello Glenda, Thank you for your inquiry. I would test your water inlet valve and ice maker for continuity to see if too much water is going to the ice maker. Too much ice buildup can also clog the dispenser flap and make it so that only the crushed ice is getting through and not the bigger cubes. Try taking the bucket out and checking for any obstructions and clearing any trapped ice away. You can test the valve with a multimeter. There are also tests online for your ice maker as well. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

When water or ice is dispensed the chute does not automatically close
For model number FPHS2699PF2
Hi Carmen,
Thank you for your question. If the chute is not closing after the water or ice is dispensed, the issue may be with the actuator or the micro switch. The actuator is a possible option when ice door won't open or shut properly or when water or is not dispensing. The switch helps control the functions of the dispenser and you may want to test the micro switch with a multimeter to check for electrical continuity, and replace it if it shows no continuity. Also examine the water tank and and the water line connectors for any signs of wear and tear. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
