Possible Causes
Failed dispenser switch, Broken actuator lever, Faulty dispenser control board, Door switch not recognizing door closed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing dispenser covers or working with wiring.
- Check door switch: Ensure the interior light turns off when the door is closed. If not, the door switch may be faulty and prevent dispenser operation.
- Test dispenser paddle: Press the water and ice paddles. If they feel loose or do not spring back, the mechanical actuator may be broken.
- Inspect dispenser switch: Remove the dispenser trim and cover (usually snaps off carefully with a plastic tool). Test the micro-switches for continuity when pressed.
- Replace failed components: Install new switches, actuator levers, or dispenser control board as needed, reassemble, and restore power.
