Need to replace water dispenser paddle on frigidaire fsc23f7ds. How do I remove broken Paddle dispenser?

To remove the dispenser paddle from your Kenmore Model #10651122211 refrigerator, you will need to follow these steps:

1. First, locate the dispenser paddle on the inside of your refrigerator door, near the ice and water dispenser.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the cover that is covering the paddle assembly. You may need to apply a little bit of force to remove the cover.
3. Once the cover has been removed, you will be able to see the dispenser paddle assembly.
4. Use a pair of pliers to gently remove the dispenser paddle from the assembly. You may need to apply a little bit of force to remove it.
5. Once the dispenser paddle has been removed, you can install the new paddle by reversing the steps. Make sure that the new paddle is securely in place before replacing the cover.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

First photo shows paddle assembly that can be purchased you need to got to Sears web site to find part # other wise you will have to buy the whole circuit board assembly hundreds more than the paddle assembly. The circuit board and paddle assembly is removed buy removing screw on inside of door and pulling it out be careful it seems strange but it just pops out. The paddle assembly slides on to the circuit board assembly look close and take your time to slide it off I thought I was going to break mine but did not and save me big money.
Second photo shows tab for water dispensing still there.
Third photo show ice dispensing tab broken and missing.
If you leave the assembly plugged in press the micro switch for the ice dispenser and see if it works most likely the tab has broken and is what hits the switch telling the door to open and ice dispensing screw to push ice to the door. Hope this helps

Not sure about the frigidaire,but most front panels can be removed from front. If you look around outer edge of trim piece there might be little screwdriver slot. Carefully pry off trim piece(faceplate),disconnect electrical plug on back,set aside.Once removed you should see you solution for removing paddle.

All of you guys are wrong. What that person is saying is that the physical paddle used when you place your glass in the dispenser bay and press against the paddle....That's what's broken the paddle......

the front cover will come off. if you dont see any screws then it WILL unsnap. look for a slot on the top or bottom of the cover. good luck some of them can be nasty

remove the bottom pan by pulling it out, then you will see three screws. remove the screws. Push the fram up which will unlatch it. The asbly will now come out. pull the water hose and the electrical connector, and you'll see the screws that hold the paddle.

be sure to unplug the refrigerator.
remove the drip tray by sliding it forward.. then remove two screws . slide the dispencer cover up two screw hold in the control remove water line two screws hold in water paddle. remove paddle and wire.

to replace water line use a long screw driver to push back into cover. make sure it extends bellow outlet..

hope it helps

My water dispensing paddle also snapped off. Where to get replacement part and how to replace? what's the cost?

My unit is only 2 years old.  It was bought Spring 2006.  

I had the same problem with my water dispenser and since they were willing to sell me a part but provided no directions and I couldn't locate any I decided to make my own for those who might need them. Here is a link to a PDF I made, hope it helps.

Before starting this job I would also like to warn all to please be save and UNPLUG the fridge. The whole job took me less then 30 minutes and I doubt anything will go bad in that amount of time.
