It was quick and easy repair and all parts needed to fix the door handle on my dishwasher were exact. This saved me a good deal of money and got the dishwasher back up in running in just a day.
The part was exact and delivered the next day. Very pleased.

Great part
Fixed my problem but should be included when telling about solenoid and flapper. I had already replaced them from you before finding out this was the problem. Also, your customer service never answered my email.

Ice got stuck at dispenser door
I started by finding thw dispenser door part. On the parts diagram it showed all the other parts I might need to replace. Due to the age of the fridge I decided to replace them all, especially the sprIngs. I made sure to watch all of the videos for each part. Although they overlapped, each one showed the repair in more detail. The repair
... Read more was as shown. If your frosge has been in service like mine for many years, plan on taking thw whole ice chute and dispenser door assembly out for thorough cleaning. One trick I learned is to take pictures as I disassemble so I can refer back for reassembly. When I put it together, the microswitch didn't work. I ordered that part, the only one I missed initially and installed it when it came in. Everything worked well. There was no video for the torsion spring and alignment of the chute and frame is tricky, make sure you take a picture. Part Select should dona video foe that. The putty knife trick for the trim ring was key. It was only shown in one video for an internal part so glad I watched them all.
Frost on the inside of the ice shoot, and the dispenser door recess crank was broken.
Used a putty knife to take the frame out .disconnected the power. Disconnected the panel. unscrewed the dispenser door recess crank (only 4 screws) . After that unscrewed the assembly of the flapper It was an easy process after that to install the new parts using a flat head and a Phillips screw drivers.
It makes a beeping sound in the middle of the dishwashing.
Remove the screws from the door and replace the switch interlock and door latch.
The problem is fixed and the dishwasher works fine so far (about three weeks) now.
The source of the problem looks more like the door latch because I use to push the door in to get it going before I replace the parts.
The v
... Read moreideo I received via email that show the how to do it was very helpful.
————- Update after more than month. (12/30/2020) The problem still persists. However I have a possible solution for it that doesn’t require any parts at all. The entire dishwasher is tilted backward. As the washing started and the water pileup in the bottoms of the dishwasher, it pull the entire dishwasher back work causing the switch interlock to release (open the relay causing the door open been sounds).
Level the dishwasher so that it doesn’t tilt backwards and this should fix the issue. I will post the latest after a month. If you need more info I can send a picture to describe the issue more clearly. ————————— Update 01-06-2021 The problem still persists. The above theory I had was wrong and didn’t make any difference.
However, I have a permanent solution but it may not be ideal for most people ??. The relay that get close/open when the door is close/open is now always CLOSED. To start the dishwasher just press start and make sure you don’t open the door while the dishwasher is running. It will not stop. I am sorry and I know it’s not a good solution but it’s kind of funny.
Dishwaher door not opening and Refrigerator air filter.
I followed instructions from the video link that was provided with the parts order confirmation.This repair was not difficult .
The refrigerator air filter was very easy to replace. There was also a new indicator (to remind me when to replace the filter again) that came with the filter.
Removed escutcheon, removed control panel, remover and replaced flapper, spring and crank. Followed the instruction exactly. Although I hope this fixes the frosting problem, I did not see anything wrong with the parts I removed. I hope this fixes the problem,
looked at the video you supplied for repair.. that made it so easy to repair the problem. I felt quite confident in myself after the video.The repair went smoothly and the refridgerator wotks super thank you so much Rick
Followed video and that part to install spring and door handle actuator was easy buy demo on video guy had hand in way where the outside door handle was inserted. I know what slot it went in but did not show how to insert in dishwasher. finally figured it out. But then led lights stopped working correctly so I need to buy some more parts
... Read morewhen I figured out what I need.
Ice was freezing in clumps in the shute(in door itself) and prohibiting the flapper from closing. Warm air enters from the kitchen through this opening and melts/freezes the cubes in shute into a clump.
1-Duct taped around the rectangular grid on the face of the door.2-Usinng a putty knife I removed the frame(just held with small plastic grommits3-The front panel with buttons for water/ice etc---push up and remove.4-Did not unplug the refrigerator until after this item was lifted up and I duct taped it to the refrigerator door to keep it
... Read more out of the way.5-Once taped out of the way I unplugged from electrical.(***there was no need to unclip the small connectors to this panel----less likely to break the prongs if the above is followed)6-2-3 screws removed the solenoid which in my case was my problem(((Solenoid was completely destroyed by the amount of rust that it exhibited. ******If you have to replace flapper and or it and the spring-----this doesn't look very difficult either. Just keep the doors shut while electric out. I'm handy but not an expert on anything---doing it was easier than what I expected. Should take no more than 1-2 hours

Ice tube door does not close completely. The humidity causes ice to build up. I am thinking it is only the (63) recess door spring. The system makes ice and dispenses cubes, crushed, and water fine. The refrigerator is 12 years old. If it makes better sense to replace other parts too, let me know.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your question. If the other parts are fine, you would probably only need to replace that spring. Sometimes that part will just wear out over time. I hope this helps. Good luck with your repair.

I'm planning on replacing the flapper, spring, and crank as the flapper no longer sits flush against the dispenser. However, the water dispenser will also occasionally not dispense, it sounds like there is air in the line. Any thoughts on what might cause this? (i've replaced the filter several times and still having the issue) thanks!
For model number gss25jfmcww
Hi Andy,
Thank you for your question. If you have air trapped in the water line, you will need to flush the water system to remove it. Press and hold the water dispenser lever for a few minutes to completely flush the air out. If the water lines are not fitted correctly or if you have just recently replaced the water filter, air may become trapped in the water lines. When you install a new water filter, it is important to flush the water filter before using it. Consult your owner's manual for information on the correct procedure for your refrigerator. If air is not the issue and the dispenser continues to occasionally not dispense water, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check dispenser door solenoid assembly, the water filter head, the electronic control board, the microswitch and the dispenser door assembly and flapper. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
Ice chute flap isn’t sealing fully when it shuts causing frost build up in chute and on ice maker. How do I know if I need to replace the spring, the flap, the solenoid, or all of the above?
For model number GSS25JETCCC
Hello Matt, Thank you for the question. You will need to disassemble the Dispenser to look at the parts to check for ware or damage. If any of the parts are defective, it will show damage or wear. We hope this helps!

Hi, we ordered these two parts for our refrigerator ps3487864 and ps285013. The video shows removal of the front panel. We have a stainless steel refrigerator and the front can't be removed. Would you please send us a video to replace the paddle ice dispenser and the recess door spring on this newer model that we have? Thanks so much for all of your help and speedy answers. Dee

Hi Dee,
Thank you for your question. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to install the actuator. The refrigerator in the video may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. You will find the video under part number PS1526381. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
