I was having problems with my water dispenser (ice was dispensing well)from the ice maker and heard a hair dryer could help solve the problem of the likely hood that the tube that dispenses the water was frozen. Tried the hair dryer once and it worked but when the problem occurred again and went by the same route, the hair dryer must have melted some part and and has disengaged the lever. So now neither ice nor water is dispensed because the the lever has lost contact with the system and has become loose so pressing it does not activate anything. Any ideas? Thanks.
