WR17X12121 - GE Refrigerator Dispenser Lever

This Refrigerator Dispenser Lever (WR17X12121), manufactured by GE, is a genuine component specifically designed for GE refrigerators. It's essential for the proper operation of the refrigerator's ice and water dispensing system. The lever operates through a blend of mechanical and electrical mechanisms, initiating the dispensation of ice or water upon user interaction. When pressed down or lifted, the lever inside the door rotates and interacts with an optical sensor. This action signals the control board to activate the ice auger motor for ice dispensing or the solenoid water valve for water dispensing, depending on the position of the lever. Symptoms that your dispenser lever may be failing include unresponsive lever actions or inconsistent dispensing of ice or water. Before purchasing, verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with part number WR17X12121.
