My Frigidaire refrigerator model No. FRS26LF8CS8 is not getting any power to the Ice/water dispenser. The unit stopped dispensing ice about a year ago but the water dispenser has worked fine until now. The Ice Maker is still making ice but now the the dispenser is not even lighting up when you try to dispense water or use the night light feature. What could be the issue?

Check door safety switch ( light switch ), loose/off wire, ribbon cable for front buttons off/loose, bad board. Well, I did find out that the light bulb was broke off up inside of the dispenser, I replaced it and there is still no power to the door or the light. So it looks like when the light bulb blew out (before I owned it) a small fuse in behind the dispenser panel had blown. After removing all the tiny screwe and the removal of entire front panel I found this little dead fuse. I had to take a butter knife to pry the box open where the ribbon cable plugs in. In there you will see a tiny fuse. Test it! After replacing that fuse everything is working fine. I presume this fuse is a safety feature to prevent electrical shocks because that dispenser panel carries 120v into it. Next to all of that 120volts is flowing water and a light bulb. I hope this helps you.
