Part WR17X48171 Refrigerator Dispenser Paddle

Purpose

Activates dispenser water or ice

Details

This genuine GE OEM Café dispenser paddle is the user-contact lever pressed to activate water or ice dispensing on compatible Café refrigerators. Mounted inside the dispenser recess, the paddle triggers internal switches when pressed by a glass or container. A cracked, broken, or worn paddle may prevent dispensing, feel loose, or fail to return properly after use. Replacing the paddle restores normal dispenser operation and ensures smooth, responsive activation. The white finish is factory-matched for Café refrigerator designs.
