Ice Door Lever Spring 4970JA3011K

This ice door lever spring is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in refrigerator ice makers. The ice door is held open through the tension of the spring. The spring moves the flipper that allows the door to open and close. If the spring becomes bent or damaged due to normal wear and tear, the door will not open or close, and the spring should be replaced. A screwdriver and wrench are needed to make this repair. Disconnect the power and water from the refrigerator before working on the ice maker door. Remove the covering around the freezer door controls, starting at the bottom of the chute. Take the front panel off and disconnect the next panel until the chute flap is released. Remove broken spring and install new spring. Reinstall the parts in reverse order. Connect the power and water. Test the ice door to make sure it stays open.This ice door lever spring is made of heavy-duty metal and sold individually. It is designed for use with refrigerators or freezers manufactured by Kenmore and LG.
