MFC62709701 - LG Refrigerator Dispenser Lever

The LG Refrigerator Dispenser Lever (MFC62709701) is a genuine part produced by LG for its line of refrigerators. This part is compatible with various LG refrigerator models. It is sometimes referred to as the 'water/ice dispenser lever' or 'dispenser actuator'.

The dispenser lever plays a crucial role in your refrigerator's functionality, specifically in the dispensing of water and ice. When you press the lever, it triggers an optical sensor that sends a signal to the refrigerator's control board. Depending on the lever's position, the control board then activates the appropriate component to dispense either ice or water.

The downward position of the lever activates the ice auger motor, which rotates the auger blade inside the ice bucket. This rotation moves the ice cubes to the dispenser chute, from where they fall into your cup or container. Conversely, when the lever is in the upward position, the sensor prompts the control board to open the solenoid water valve, allowing water to flow through the dispenser spout.

Signs that this part may need replacement include the inability to dispense ice or water, or the dispenser lever not returning to its original position after use. If you notice these symptoms, it might be time to consider replacing your dispenser lever.

Before purchasing, it's essential to verify the compatibility of this part with your LG refrigerator model number.
