GE PFSS9PKYSS flap will not close - Hotpoint FFU00 Side by Side Refrigerator

replace flap they wear after time

Take the ice out look at the flap from the inside...hopefully an easy fix may have to order a new flap moisture gets in there again to vfreeze after you use the blow dryer

There are multiple parts to the dispenser for GE. You say that door isn't closing properly, which could mean that the solenoid isn't working properly, or that the door flap retainer itself is broken, I want to say that they make a complete kit for it but not for certain,

Sounds like you need to clean the seat of the backflow flap or replace the backflow flap

Most if the time the flap will roll up causing it to hang when closing. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/Refrigerator-repair.html

There is a ice door solenoid for your dispenser, its probably the problem. Costs about 35 dollars and just about anyone can replace it.

the front panel should just pop off,but you want to look at the solinardmthat is most likey what need replaced,let me know if it is rusted in the open position-mike

There is a flap at the bottom back left of the refrigerator that opens and closes to let cold air into the area (much like the vents in your car). This flap is controlled by an electric motor to automatically open and close. The noise happens when the motor closes the flap; however, it continues to try to close the flap even after the flap is closed. There must be a ratchet on the motor and that is where you are getting the ratchet noise. I don't know why the electric motor continues to try to close the flap after it is closed. It could be a limit switch that has gone bad and the motor doesn't know the flap is closed. It appears that this electric motor/flap is a separate assembly in itself and I may just go order a new part to replace it. That is as far as I have been able to solve this problem.

replace the flap spring and selenoid in the despenser area
call ge at 300-851-6200 with the model number and they will send you the parts about 40.00 dollars
