Plastic piece does not have a "bottom out" position so if someone presses too hard on it, it will break. Hard to believe $75 is a good deal on this piece of plastic with 2 led's, but is the best deal I could find.

When our actuator snapped into two pieces last week, I found this to be the most reasonably-priced replacement on the web. BUT, since it still means spending $70, I held off and went to Home Depot and spent 20 minutes comparing different plastic-fusing glues. I went with Henkel 681925 Loctite 0.07-Ounce Super Glue Plastic Bonder, which is also sold here on amazon.com

Following the instructions (applying the primer on both surfaces, waiting for 60 seconds and then applying the glue sparingly on one of the two surfaces you want fused together), I added another thin bead of glue to the joint then carefully held the two pieces together with blue masking tape. I left the tape on for about 24 hours, and it's been five days since and the glued together pieces are staying put. Feels like it never broke. Of course, our house has no kids--just my husband and I so we don't really slam the glass against the lever, which is something kids could easily do.

Note: I left the the actuator on the freezer door which means I did not need to use any tools (it broke where the top of the clear and black lever tapers off suddenly narrows but thickens towards the top).

This was the right part for our fridge (except for color, but we chose price over color match). The average homeowner would have difficulty installing it; instructions would have been helpful.

Part was delivered quickly and worked as anticipated. Install was a half hour job, hardest part as other reviews stated was getting water hose line back in properly. Otherwise a fairly easy do it yourself project.

This part was challenting to replace it on our Frigidaire refrigerator but I think it was worth the savings. My husband and I watched internet video which was very helpful. It took 2 hrs. Due to the design, it was difficult to get into replacement area. We woud do it again.
