Whirlpool pin retainer is broken on ice dispenser




By HEATH70 on Oct 09, 2007

" "
Whirlpool ED5GTGXNQ00 side by side pin retainer is broken off of ice maker dispenser housing. It holds the door flapper for the ice dispensor. The repair guy says that I have to replace the WHOLE FREEZER DOOR, because of this tiny little plastic pin retainer.

I really want to be able to fix this as I still have all the parts and glued the plastic thing back, but I don't know how to get in there. Some one posted a model number for the kit a while back and when I go on the whirlpool site it doesn't come up. Where and how do I order the kit, and does it come with instructions.

You don't have to replace the whole door. There is a kit that comes with instuctions. You can get it at www3.sears.com and the part # is 2206423 and switches over to #8201649 and is called door mechanism assembly. It is $42.99. Use # 2206423 for lookup purposes. Hope this helps.

Kenmore 106.45436400 same as Whirlpool ED5GTGXNQ00 side by side pin retainer is broken off of ice maker dispenser housing. It holds the door flapper for the ice dispenser. Sears says that I have to replace the WHOLE FREEZER DOOR, because of this tiny little plastic pin retainer. Sears no-customer support says that there isn't a fix--tough luck. Whirlpoor says it's Sear's problem. Help!!

The correct part to fix the broken housing is 8201756. The other part listed is just a replacement for the ice maker door and does not fix the broken housing.
8201756 comes with directions and with a little work fixes the problem. I found the part in many places but picked it up on ebay for $40.00.

Do you have any tips or easy instructions on how to install the replacement kit

Comment by themackshack, posted on Jan 04, 2008

I have the Whirlpool Ice Door Kit available for $39.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. The kit includes a metal frame that will replace the broken part in the door mold. It also includes all the parts that operate the door including the door itself. I only have 2 kits available at this time so first come first served. Please go to Ebay and look up user name, themackshack, and email me. It's alot cheaper than replacing the entire door. That is what you had to do before this kit became available. Thanks, Mack
