My side-by-side refrigerator is still in good shape but lately the ice dispenser door isn't closing completely and then ice is melting and dripping into the dispenser tray and ultimately creating a mess. I've seen on the site two possible parts to fix this - one is just a new spring, and another is an entire new ice door kit. I'm not clear on what part I need to purchase to fix my problem. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Thanks for the advice woodchuckie. I took the cover and the electrical panel off and low and behold, the spring isn't the problem at all. If I remove the "mechanism delay" (what looks like a little piston) then things close with no problem. Is this a necessary part? In other words, do I need the delayed ice door closing? If so, this part is only available in the door kit, so that answered the question of what I need to purchase.

That makes perfect sense. Its too bad that part isn't sold by itself, but it won't hurt to replace the assembly as a unit. Thanks again for the help,
