The control bracket which holds the micro switches is made of molded plastic and breaks easily. On mine the part of the bracket that holds the switch for the water dispenser broke and the switch is then too loose to be operated by the dispenser lever. Pop off the molding around the dispenser and you will see the control bracket and switches and can then diagnose your problem.
To remove the molding use a butter or table knife (not sharp) and slip it under the molding at the bottom to pry it off. Once the bottom releases push down on the top of the molding while pulling and twisting on the loose bottom and the top should release. It is then easy to get to all the working parts for the dispenser.
