Kenmore refrigerator ice/water in door not working

here is a way for you to fix your fridge:

Take the bottom kick plate off the refrigerator. The water line comes from the back, and goes up into the freezer door, under the freezer door, or a little under the refrigerator front, should be a quick connect. Pop it off, and then ask for water, and see if it comes out over there. If not, and you hear the valve kick in, in the back, the water tank inside the refrigerator, behind the bottom crisper draws could be frozen. Get a blow dryer, and heat it up, and then see if the water comes out of the tube, that you took off. If so hook it back up, and see if it comes out. When you do take the line off, and the water does come out, the water is frozen in the freezer door. Take the food off of the door, and get a blow dryer, and heat up the inner door liner, and then check it from time to time and see if the water comes out. If either of these work, turn the temp down a little. If this does not work. It will either be the dispenser switch, or the water valve.

Or, if your ice maker AND water aren't working, make sure one of your kids didn't hit the lock button before you try ALL OF THESE solutions.....like I did! Doh!

the micro switch below the fill spout is worn or the lever that actuates it is cracked. the micro switch below the fill spout is worn or the lever that actuates it is cracked.
