I have a GE french door frig model GFSS6KKYESS. The flapper between the doors won't flap. How many springs are on this model door. I can only find one and it doesn't look broken.

Locate and adjust the spring responsible for getting that flap into proper place and all will be resolved.

check it closely something has broke an the flap is not closing as u close the door

On mine one end of the spring broke off in the hole on the door. It was on top of the hinge so it looked like a pivot pin. I found that this was the second hole for the spring. I pushed the end of the new spring up under the hinge and popped the broke piece of old spring out. Now I could see the 2 holes. You then need to put the spring into each hole. The hole on the flap also needs a white plastic sleeve if that is missing. that goes on the end of the spring and fits into the flap hole. Then the trick part is understanding how the spring works? If you put both ends of the spring in the holes and shut the flap, it now stays in position to close and be flipped open by the guide that swings it open to seal.

Good Luck.

Here is a link to all the door parts for the unit you listed.

you may need to replace the flap. it is spring loaded, so the arm probably slipped out, causing it to remain open.

Without knowing the brand and model # I can offer the most common solution.

On most "pass the ice through the door" models there is a flapper door where the ice dispenses. The spring which holds this door closed when you are not dispensing ice becomes weak allowing the flap to stay open jsut a bit. This open space will create an ice dam in teh dispenser thus not allowing the ice to dispense. The repair is generally made by replacing the flap assembly.

All the best.

I would call your GE service company and give them the model number and serial number of your frig. They can look up which board fits your frig.
I hope this helps.

COULD BE DO TO ICE BUILD UP. IT MAY NEED A NEW GASKET OR FLAPPER DOOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE TIGHT.! . TO FIX THE LEAK TILL YOU GET THE PART USE A PLASTIC BAG AND A SOCK(CLEAN?) AND FROM THE INSIDE PLUG THE ICE DOOR HOLE ..

Try cleaning the edges of the flap and the ice chute as well. Once you've done that, check to see if the pivot rod is fully engaged at end side, as having it out of position could be causing it to "hang up" and not fully close.

If the rod has been knocked out of position, reposition it with your hands then you can lightly lube each end at the pivot points, with a food grade silicon lubricating spray. Use ONLY a food grade lubricant so you don't end up getting nasty tasting ice cubes or contaminating the cubes as they pass thru the chute and flap.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, you'll need to remove the chute & flap assembly from the dispenser section of the door and check for the return spring engagement, as it may have become disconnected and as a result, isn't closing the flap fully, as it should.

To do this, you'll need to remove the trim bezel around the dispenser section with a plastic putty knive (to avoid scratching the trim). be very careful when prying the bezel, do it VERY carefully so as not to snap/break the trim piece. Once you have that removed, you can see and get at the retaining screw(s) that hold the chute & flap assembly on the door panel.

Check the line drawing attached for proper part placement of the spring (part #63) and for seeing how your particular dispenser is attached to the freezer door.
