WR17X11170 General Electric Refrigerator Dispenser Housing Shield

Refrigerator Dispenser Housing Shield

This component is essential for housing the ice and water dispenser parts. It is suitable for use in refrigerators that fail to dispense water. The housing shield has the overlay and dispenser board attached to its front.

The dispenser housing shield is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part for GE refrigerators and is compatible with various brands including Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. Its primary function is to protect the dispenser's internal mechanisms. Designed to precisely fit over the dispenser housing located on the front of the freezer door, this shield protects the dispensing mechanisms from potential damage or contamination. It serves as a protective barrier against moisture, debris, and other environmental hazards, contributing to the dispenser system’s effective operation and durability.

Additionally, this shield is compatible with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.

This part addresses several issues:

- Cracked or broken shield
- Misaligned or loose shield
- Water or ice leakage around the dispenser area
