Still had leak. Had a saddle valve so I thought I might have low water pressure so I installed a shutoff. Water dispenser is still dripping. Thought maybe my water filter could be plugged so I replaced it and water dispenser still drips. I can't find any leaks anywhere. What should I do next? Thanks.

Try warming it with a hair dryer.

If that is the problem, check out the ice door kit AP4009082 especially the solonoid.
