Model 47374 the seal will not seat properly because the small plastic spring activated lever is broke how do i go by getting a replacement for this

Ok first you will have to take out that lever and remove the plastic cover to see if a. The pin on the seat broke -b.if the latch that locks the seat has broken -c. If the spring on it broke

On mine the the cable worked one rail an a spring worked the opposite rail .the lever that the spring worked was the problem and required unbolting the seat to clean and lube the levers on each rail with out making a mess. That was on an86 Ford.
I would suggest unbolting the seat an see if the cable is the full problem and alot easier then fixxing it in place.usually a bolt or nut in each corner.
Plastic garbage bags or card board to protect cloth seats an apair osaw horses or small table will make easier as well

go to your local hardware store, parts store and buy an expansion spring. cut it to length and bend a new tab on the cut end . fit it to the lever and it will work a treat. Most auto seats have the spring but you will have to upend a seat to get it out as it costs too much for the junk yards to do it.

I have a related question. My lower spring broke and I have the replacement spring. How do I put it into both plastic fittings at the same time. One arm on the spring goes on mullion while the other arm goes into a fitting on the door. Please help!

The first thing to check is the backrest release switch activator. This is a small plastic lever located under the backrest pivot point under the bottom of the seat. There is a small spring attached to it. The attachment point is what normally brakes. If you locate the micro switch, you can close the switch with your finger and try to move the seat at the same time (watch your fingers!). If this is the problem, you can get this plastic piece and replace it. This is not the most enjoyable job and will take a lot of patience. Let me know if you need more info.

You don't need a shifter assembly. Inside your console is a small "pink" plastic lever that has a spring attached that locks the shifter in park. The small "pink" plastic piece where the spring is attached breaks off. Mine broke off at 45000 miles. Billet technologies makes a aluminum replacement for about $60.00 that won't wear out. The Chrysler forum has pictures and detailed instructions on the replacement procedure.

Remove the top freezer hinge cover and disconnect the plug there . This will remove power to the door . At the bottom of the dispenser cover , but inside the dispensing area , between the grill and the cover , insert a small screwdriver about 1 " in on both sides , and push down and inward , forcing the bottom of the cover outward . Do this carefully , due to plastic tabs on the dispenser cover . After bottom is loose , lift upward , to release the top plastic slots of the cover . Disconnect the plug on the cover . Remove the 2 screws holding the dispenser housing , and slide forward . You should now be able to see the door flap , return spring and pin . You will have to see which part(s) are needed or what the situation is . Maybe pin slid out , maybe the clear plastic ice guide , connected to the dispenser activator arm , broke loose , obstructing the closure of the door flap . Come back with your findings and a model number , and myself or another expert , will be glad to give you part numbers .

Hi,

Feel around the seal, in the groove behind the seal face. You'll find a spring at the bottom. With a small screwdriver, lever the spring over the seal face. Work the steel ring off. Fold the seal inside the washer. Unplug the washer, Remove the door, and set aside. Locate your panel screws and remove the front, exposing the drum and basket. There are usually additional screws under the dispenser trays too. Disconnect the door lock wires. Locate the other spring/ring assembly on the outer drum, and remove. Orient your new seal properly and reassemble. The only difference on the reassembly is that, when you are putting the rings back on, start 180 degrees from the spring, and work the ring back on until you get to the spring. Carefully lever the spring back over the seal face, being careful not to damage your new seal.
Best regards, --W/D--

check closely the flap. see if the spring pulling it to close shut is still ok. check the seal of the flap. that seal should not be broke or chipping. it should seal tight to the plastic where it is seating.

if there is even a small opening, frost would accumulate because of the air coming in from the damage flap. this frost would accumulate until the flap itself would no longer seal the opening.

tnx 4 uisng fixya,
