Frigidaire 241689001 Refrigerator Actuator Spring

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 241689001 is a refrigerator actuator spring designed to support the movement and return action of the dispenser actuator assembly. When the dispenser paddle or lever is pressed for water or ice, this spring applies controlled force to return the actuator to its default resting position after each cycle. The part maintains consistent dispenser response, proper internal alignment of moving components, and stable operation over repeated use. It is a small but critical mechanical component within the dispenser assembly, typically replaced by an appliance technician or experienced DIYer during dispenser repair service.

This actuator spring is used in refrigerators equipped with built-in water or ice dispensers. It fits within the dispenser assembly on the door panel and is a common replacement when the dispenser paddle fails to return fully, sticks, or produces inconsistent actuation. Compatible brands include Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, White-Westinghouse, Crosley, and Gibson. This part replaces superseded part numbers 5304421829 and 7241689001.
