Kenmore Coldspot 106.57032601 - Ice dispenser hinge broken

[hemp]

Model Number: 106.57032601

Brand: Sears Kenmore

Age: 6-10 years

I recently noticed our ice dispenser door was not closing all the way. What made me notice it was the ice chute was completely blocked by ice/frost that looked all melted together.

I took apart the dispenser area to find the ice dispenser hinge holder broken. The door was just loosey goosey up in that area.

I'm thinking I need this part from this post: FIXED Broken hinge pin holder on Kenmore Dispenser chute

But I'm not sure since it is a different model number.

The broken hinge (right hinge when looking at the freezer door) is the one circled in red of MemphisJeff's photo post (#5) in that thread (I couldn't figure out how to do a sub-post link).

Yup, you will need to order that kit as well for your model.

Repaired the problem yesterday afternoon. All fixed!

I have this same problem. The right hinge is broken. It's the piece connected to the door, not the ice chute. It sounds like this might be a replacement option, but my model is different. It's Kenmore model #106.57362702. Would that same part (Dispenser Door 8201756) fit this model?

Hi,

The right hinge is broken. It's the piece connected to the door, not the ice chute.

That won't do it. There's a plastic hinge on the freezer door that is broken. This only replaces the ice chute parts.
