Dispenser Release Timer Lever

Hello Breck, thank you for your question. If the door shaft and black rotating arm seems to be ok, and the dispenser door and latch are ok I would recommend replacing that timer lever, part number WD12X324. You may want to take the inner door panel off to see if anything is detached or broken before ordering. I hope this helps!
