DA66-30138A - Samsung Refrigerator Dispenser Lever

This Samsung Refrigerator Dispenser Lever (DA66-30138A) is a genuine part for Samsung home appliances. It operates by utilizing a combination of mechanical and electrical components. When pressed down or lifted up, it activates a paddle inside the door housing that contacts an optical sensor. This sensor then signals the control board to dispense either ice or water, depending on the lever's position. In the down position, it allows the optical sensor to trigger the ice auger motor, which rotates the blade and transports ice cubes to the chute. In the up position, the sensor prompts the control board to open the water valve for water to flow through the dispenser spout. If you notice your dispenser not delivering water or ice, or if the lever action feels unresponsive, it could indicate this part needs replacing. Double-check your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
