Ice Dispenser broke

Screwdriver, pliers

My ice dispenser broke on my Frigidaire. The part that broke is a small tab attached to the paddle that you push to engage the auger to get ice. This small paddle presses a microswitch that turns the whole operation on, until you release the paddle and turn it off. I found a repair video online for the exact type of ice maker. Although this ice maker had black parts that were difficult to see on the video, I was able to get the idea of how to take it apart. I called all my local appliance part distributors and no one had it in stock. The price was about $20 more and it would take 3-5 days for it to get here. Meanwhile I had an ice maker that I had taken apart with a hole exposing the freezer! I plugged the hole with a towel and ordered the part from PartsDr. Since it was 2 days before Thanksgiving, I paid for overnight shipping so I would get it before the holiday delayed it in transit. The part arrived the next day. Repairs were made in about 5 minutes! It works perfectly and I am VERY satisfied with the part and how fast PartsDr got the part in the mail. If they would have delayed, even one day, it could have kept my ice dispenser off line for several extra days.
