I need to replace the ice dispenser flap and spring on my fridge. Using a flashlight I can see that it isn't closing properly and causing the shoot to frost. Where I'm stuck is the proper way to remove the front dispenser panel. As always I can play around, but would like to limit my risk of breaking something. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Ihave never taken one of those off myself, but by looking at the breakdown it looks like you could use a putty knife to release the tabs aroun the trim to get it off and get to the door flapper.

Some of those have two little holes on the bottom front edge that you poke a small scredriver to release the clips you will also find the solonoid melted or burnt up as well

I did see the small holes up under the water dispenser area, so I will try a small screwdriver to push them. Thanks.

v2k04, thanks for the tip I was able to pop it off and then remove the 4 screws. I see the black solenoid in the upper right. Is there an easy way to see if it's burned out?

If It's Burnt It's Usually Pretty Obvious The Plunger Wont Move Up And Down In The Coil. yOU CAN ALSO CHECK WITH OHM METER OR APPLY 120 VOLTS DIRECTLY TO COIL

would you happen to know how to gently remove the ice/water dispenser cover for a Frigidaire FRS6L9EFS*? My husband broke the water paddle! They are expensive enough $70+ can't afford to have a repair person come out to our farm!

Remove the tray and its held on by 2 screws then out and up unhook the wires then the bracket behind that that hold s the switches has a couple screws and it will fall down then replace the funnel and lever

I can't remove the tray. I ran masking tape around the trim and have slid putty knives under and have tried to loosen and pop off the tray, but it won't move. I'm afraid that it will break as I have put alot of pressure on it. Am I right that-that is the only way to the rest of the screws?
