My in the door ice dispenser keeps clogging up with frost. It works on both crush and cube, but even when left on cube the top of the shoot in the door will clog up with what looks like crushed ice.

I have cleaned it out with soap and water and cleaned the ice tray and after a few days the same thing.

Unit was made in 2000. 05

Thanks for the help.

You have an AIR LEAK in that door. After dispensing some ice, watch to see if the FLAPPER DOOR closes tightly, if not find out why!!!:)

I think you are on to something there. I took a warm cloth and cleaned out the chute and the area above it by the crusher. The flapper closes most of the time but a couple times it seemed to hang up.

Is this a replaceable part? Do they get rusty or sticky over time?
The fridge is having it's 9th birthday next month.

I have taken a closer look.

It seems there is a spring missing on the flap door, there is only one on the right. Looks like there should be another on the left.

Now the problem.

I took the model # off the inside of the fridge label,
it is a very small 106 followed by 59509992

This model number doesn't work in the search.

I need a parts breakdown and then maybe I can figure out how to get to the area without breaking something more expensive.

Thanks for you help people.

update

I found a parts breakdown. Wife had it filed under E for everything I
file away.

Ice door, part number 2180352, has the foam erroded away at the bottom giving a poor seal.

The new problem.

The part has changed, the old one has a ribbon cable for a heater that prevents ice build up, the new one does not have the heater.

I would like to have the one with the heater.

There is a similar part number molded on to the part itself. 2180207.

Anybody have any idea where to find one???

Thanks

Thanks all,

I bought the part without the heater in it.

Just as pictured above.

Now lets wait to see if the chute still freezes up because it no longer has a heater in it.

Thanks for all the help.

The frost IS coming from the air leak, If you get it sealed up, The frost won't be a problem, Good Luck!!!!!!!:)
