Pressing the ice paddle only delivers water, or no ice is dispensed at all despite the ice maker producing ice — faulty microswitches inside the lever assembly fail to signal the control board.
The paddle arm or retaining peg is cracked or snapped, preventing proper actuation of the ice or water dispense function.
Ice or water continues to dispense after releasing the paddle because the lever spring has failed or the lever is stuck in the depressed position.
Ice or water dispenses inconsistently — some presses work, others do not — caused by worn internal microswitch contacts within the lever assembly.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm DA97-08519A Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Pressing the ice paddle only dispenses water instead of ice
⚠️ Ice or water lever physically broken, cracked, or a retaining peg snapped off
⚠️ Dispenser lever stuck in the pressed position — ice dispenses continuously without input
⚠️ No dispense response at all when either paddle is pressed, yet ice maker is producing ice
🔬 Diagnostic shortcut: Unplug the refrigerator, remove the single Phillips screw under the dispenser display, and test the internal microswitches for continuity with a multimeter while pressing each paddle. If the grey wire shows no continuity with the blue/white wire when the ice paddle is pressed, the lever assembly has failed and replacement is confirmed. If microswitches test good, check the dispenser control board DA97-11828A before ordering.
