Exactly what I was looking for
My daughter somehow broke a small part on the paddle on our water dispenser and I was relieved to find the part could be replaced fairly easily and inexpensively! The whole switch out between the old broken part and the new part was somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes. I am highly satisfied with my purchase.

The part worked perfectly. The agent who helped me was spectacular. He told me exactly how to ensure the part was installed properly. I could not have done it without his help.

Great quality part!
Great quality part and easy install. Does NOT come with the spring required for installation so don't throw away the old spring or order a new one separately. I would buy this again.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
The plastic lug holding the spring broke free, so the paddle had no way to return to its original position
1) Use plastic spudgers to remove the front control panel by levering on the front bottom of the plastic
2) Unscrew 4 retaining screws from the internal assembly
3) Slide clear plastic ice chute from the internal assembly
4) Lift the paddle 90 degrees to remove it
5) Place the spring on the paddle lug such that the long side fits in the groove on the back
6) Press the spring back, and slide the paddle into the paddle holder at a 90 degree angle
7) Once installed the short side of the spring should press against the plastic to force the paddle to its default position
8) Slide the ice chute back into the assembly
9) Replace the 4 screws holding the assembly to the refrigerator
10) Replace the front control panel

I may have missed a step here or there, but nothing major. Be mindful of the switches, and the placement of the wires. The entire process took maybe 5 minutes. I would say the most difficult part is getting the control panel off, it kind of feels like it might break, but it's a pretty robust piece.
