Description
Restore the proper operation of your refrigerator’s ice-dispenser chute with the genuine OEM assembly part WR17X11264 from GE. This part includes the ice funnel (chute) and lever mechanism used to guide cubes into your glass or container and activate the dispenser. Because dispenser assemblies differ by model and production year, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm this part number matches your appliance’s full model number and that the dispenser chute/lever is indeed the failed component before ordering. geapplianceparts.com+2appliancerepair.homedepot.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified assembly: made to GE’s original design to ensure proper fit, function and reliable ice chute operation. geapplianceparts.com+1
-
Combined funnel and lever design: guides ice neatly from dispenser into your glass, reducing spills, mis-drops or ice clumping. filtersfast.com+1
-
Durable construction: built for repeated use in high-traffic dispenser scenarios, helping extend the life of your dispenser system.
-
Prevents mess and inefficiency: replacing a worn or damaged funnel/lever solves issues like ice falling outside the glass or lever sticking.
-
Cost-effective replacement: swapping this part is far less expensive than replacing the entire dispenser module or door assembly.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Ice cubes are being delivered improperly—spilling outside the glass, missing the chute, or irregular angles of exit.
-
Dispenser lever feels loose, stuck, or fails to engage properly when you press the glass against it.
-
You observe visible cracks, breaks or deformation in the funnel area, or the chute looks mis-aligned.
-
Ice is jamming around the funnel, leaking into the dispenser area, or the dispenser does not seat the ice path cleanly.
If you notice any of these symptoms, ask your maintenance technician to verify that WR17X11264 is indeed the correct replacement part for your appliance and that no other upstream dispenser components are at fault.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the appliance’s full model number (including suffix details) is crucial—even if the existing part appears identical, the mounting tab spacing, lever geometry or chute width may vary between model years. geapplianceparts.com
-
Replacing just the funnel/lever restores a key part of your dispenser—but if the kit does not resolve the symptom, the lever mechanism, dispenser board, or ice maker fill system may still be at fault. Technician diagnosis is recommended.
-
Installation steps (for qualified technicians): Remove power and/or water supply as appropriate, remove the old funnel/clutch assembly by unscrewing or unclipping per manufacturer instructions, install the new WR17X11264 assembly ensuring proper alignment and secure mounting, test by dispensing ice and verify full function with clean ice path and lever action.
-
After installation, monitor several dispenser cycles to ensure ice flows cleanly through the chute and the lever engages smoothly without jamming or mis-alignment.
