XPARTCO WR17X11653 Refrigerator Dispenser Ice Door Flapper
The XPARTCO WR17X11653 is an aftermarket replacement ice door flapper, also sold as the dispenser door assembly, ice chute door or door recess assembly, for GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, replacing GE part WR17X11653. It sits in the ice chute opening, seals the freezer against warm room air, and opens when the dispenser lever is pressed so ice can reach your glass.
If the door is cracked, warped, or its gasket no longer seals, warm air gets into the chute and the dispenser suffers. Check your model number before ordering, as the kit may include more than one piece.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator and move perishable food to a cooler before you begin. Wear work gloves. A Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver are typically needed. No installation instructions are included with the part, so keep your model's parts diagram handy and note how the old door and any springs or pieces come apart before removing them. Install the new door the same way, then restore power and test the dispenser.
