You have a solenoid switch It switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid.
Part 34 is the solenoid in this diagram. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/sect/9/e/d/9ed-cjjjjf.gif
