 Problem solved Dec 25, 2010
By Roy Givens III
The flap that normally covers the ice dispenser chute on my Whirlpool refrigerator stopped working. It would not seal properly, which caused moisture to freeze up the mechanism that crushes and dispenses ice--which meant no ice could be dispensed at all. It was "reach into the bucket and get some ice" for a while until I found this kit. While any repair kit that uses some type of super-adhesive to mount additional hardware (not visible after installation, by the way, which is good) and requires you to take needle-nose pliers and break off the little plastic things that originally supported the flap can cause some apprehension in someone with little confidence in their repair skills (me), it worked perfectly. Some aspects of the replacement directions did have me scratching my head for a few minutes, but the end result was a complete success.

 This repair kit can get you back in business Oct 08, 2011
By Ronald L. North
This repair kit for the refrigerator ice door worked for my Kitchenaid Refrigerator KSRP22F. I did this repair a few months ago and it is working OK. There is some frost and ice buildup inside now around the ice container which I clear away easily every few weeks. So the ice door seal must not be perfect when closed, but it's satisfactory and I am glad have the system working.
I think this repair is harder than others have suggested because it is not easy to see and get at. You must first do some disassembly just to verify that you have a broken hinge. During the actual repair, I ended up with a small flashlight in my mouth to see up in there.
The good news is that many others have done this repair before you. On the Internet, you will learn how to take the front panel off and you will print up a good photo of the ice door assembly properly installed. You want to see how the mechanism looked before your hinge broke and before all the pieces came loose. This picture will be useful because the kit's instructions have tiny black & white pictures that don't show clear details. But the written instructions have no errors.
I ended up adding my own 1/4 inch plastic bushing at the right end of the ice door assembly metal shaft. I did this as a spacer because, in my case, the new ice door assembly would otherwise move slightly to the right along its shaft after each use until it would get out of working position. The ice door assembly needs to stay to the left up against the ice dispenser lever (the one you push in for ice). Your pressing the ice lever in is what opens the ice door and the lever's alignment to the ice door parts must stay in place for proper ice door opening.

Perfect Fix Jul 29, 2011
By Jim S
This was a perfect fix for that cheap plastic hook that broke so easily on my ice dispenser. It was easy to install, although the panel and several parts had to be removed to do it. My only complaint is that it uses an adhesive pad to mount itself, although I can't see how else it would work. It was a bit strange that it had adhesive pads that the instructions specifically said not to use. So then why are they there?
Before installing, you must break off the existing tabs that the ice door pivots on, so get a pair of needle-nose pliers ready. It also seems to be rather expensive for a piece of metal and a plastic door, considering I just purchased something far more complicated to fix the ice maker at a fraction of the cost, but it's still less than the repairman wanted for the part.
Ice Door Kit Mar 11, 2012
By Scooterass
The product works perfectly. However, the previous reviews are 100% correct that the instructions are poor at best. It could definitely use larger color pictures and better descriptions. For example, there is a third tab near the two you have to break off. I inadvertently broke the wrong one. It turns out this tab is used to hold the pin for the hinge to the flapper door in place. After it was reassembled, the flapper door kept falling out of place, much as it had done prior to the repair. I managed to rig it with the use of a screw through the back to mimic the tab I inadvertently removed and that seems to have worked. Again, good product, lousy documentation.
Exactly as advertised Nov 28, 2011
By Happy shopper
The biggest challenge is getting the bezel off the freezer door. (Slide a screwdriver up the slots visible along the bottom edge and gently pull it off.) After that the repair is straightforward. I needed a sharp & sturdy knife to cut the old tabs off - more awkward than difficult. Be sure they're cut completely off to avoid interference with the new pin. The caution to test the fit several times before removing the backing on the two-sided tape is wise. The kit includes a repair part for the water dispenser side, but doesn't indicate why it's needed. The kit fixed the problem 100% - no service call - 60% of the parts depot price. Win-win-win.
