Frigidaire 5303918773 Refrigerator Dispenser and Paddle

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 5303918773 is a genuine OEM dispenser and paddle assembly designed for refrigerators that feature a front-mounted water or ice dispenser. This part serves as the funnel frame and actuator paddle that the user presses to activate the dispenser mechanism. It sits at the front of the refrigerator door and takes the mechanical force of daily use, making it a common wear item in high-use households. When the original paddle cracks, sticks, or breaks off entirely, this OEM replacement restores the dispenser to factory function. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers handle this repair.

This dispenser paddle is suited for residential refrigerators equipped with door-mounted dispenser systems. It is a direct OEM replacement sourced from the original manufacturer, Electrolux, and is compatible with refrigerators sold under multiple brand names including Crosley, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse. It replaces superseded part number 242270203. This part fits within the front dispenser recess on the door panel and is typically accessed without removing the door from the unit.
