Overnight both my water and ice dispenser stopped working.
I thought it's odd that Id loose both switches at the same time.
I checked the freezer door switch and it seems to be working, if I hold the door open and press the switch the freezer light goes out.

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

I'd appreciate any help. I'd hate to have to buy 2 new switches that I may not need.

When you press the levers do you hear a switch click?

It seems unlikely that both switches quit at the same time. Its more likely the lever broke or a wire in the door harness broke.

Your going to have to get in there a take a look.

Hello and thanks for your reply.
Yes there's a click when I depress the ice and water paddles.

I had already taken off the cover - I wanted to see what it looked like
back there and was looking for something perhaps burned out, but
nothing seemed out of place to my untrained eyes.

Thanks

I tested my ice and water switches with a multimeter and they're good.
Also my door switch seems to work, the dispenser light goes out when i open the door.
Any other ideas where I can look?

Thanks
