LG & Kenmore Refrigerator Dispenser Micro Switch Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your LG or Kenmore fridge stops dispensing ice or water — or won't stop dispensing — that clicking sound you hear (or don't hear) is usually this micro switch giving up. The 6600JB3001C dispenser micro switch is the electrical component behind the dispenser paddle that tells your refrigerator when someone's actually asking for ice or water. It's a small part that causes massive frustration when it fails.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

First, grab your model number from inside the fridge — usually on the left wall near the top, or inside the fresh food compartment. LG models typically start with LMX, LFX, or LRF, while Kenmore models in this family start with 795. This switch fits over 20 different LG French door and side-by-side models from the late 2000s through mid-2010s, plus compatible Kenmore units (which are LG-manufactured). You're looking for part number 6600JB3001C, which replaces older versions 6600JB3001B and 6600JB3001H — they're all the same switch with minor housing updates.

About This Replacement Part

The dispenser micro switch sits directly behind the dispenser actuator paddle. When you press the paddle for ice or water, it physically depresses this switch, completing an electrical circuit that signals the control board to activate either the ice chute auger or water valve. When the switch wears out — which happens after thousands of presses — you'll see three distinct failure patterns: ice maker won't dispense ice at all (switch won't close the circuit), ice maker dispenses too much ice (switch won't open the circuit and keeps running), or not dispensing water (same open-circuit problem). Sometimes you'll hear the paddle click but nothing happens, other times there's no click at all. The switch itself is a simple mechanical component with metal contacts that eventually corrode or lose tension, especially in humid environments where moisture can creep behind the dispenser panel.

Plus Kenmore 795-series models that are LG-manufactured equivalents. If your model number isn't listed but starts with these prefixes and has an external ice/water dispenser, there's a strong chance this switch fits — LG used this same switch design across multiple product generations.

Replacement Notes

The good news: this is one of the easier dispenser repairs you can tackle. You'll need to remove the dispenser front panel (usually 4-6 screws hidden under the drip tray), disconnect the wire harness, swap the old switch for the new one, and reassemble. The switch is held in place with a small mounting bracket — don't lose those tiny screws. Test the dispenser before you put the front panel back on completely, because if you've got a wiring issue or the paddle isn't aligned correctly, you'll want to catch that before you're elbow-deep in reassembly. Most people finish this repair in 20-30 minutes once they've got the front panel off.

Cross-Reference Numbers

This part supersedes and replaces: AP4441530, PS3529276, 6600JB3001B, 6600JB3001H. If you're finding references to those older part numbers in repair forums or LG service bulletins, they're all the same switch — 6600JB3001C is just the current revision.
