Samsung da97-12628r Dispenser Lever Assembly

Product Description

The SAMSUNG da97-12628r is a genuine OEM dispenser lever assembly designed for Samsung refrigerators. This component is the mechanical actuator that activates the water or ice dispenser when pressed by the user. It sits in the dispenser cradle on the refrigerator door and transfers the mechanical force that triggers the dispenser switch or solenoid. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part as a direct replacement when the original lever is broken, cracked, or no longer actuates the dispenser reliably.

This lever assembly is used in the dispenser mechanism on Samsung refrigerators. It is a door-mounted component typically found on French door and side-by-side refrigerator models that feature an external water and ice dispenser. It is installed when the lever fails to spring back, is physically damaged, or causes the dispenser to operate intermittently or not at all.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Samsung part ensuring direct fit and proper function
• Acts as the primary mechanical actuator for the water and ice dispenser
• Replaces a broken, cracked, or non-functioning dispenser lever

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an appliance repair technician or a knowledgeable DIYer. Before beginning, unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet to eliminate any electrical hazard. The dispenser lever assembly is generally a snap-fit or screw-mounted component on the dispenser panel and requires only basic hand tools to remove and replace. Ensure the new lever seats fully and actuates the dispenser switch smoothly before restoring power.
