I depress the water dispenser lever and when I remove the glass, the water keeps running - will not shut off making huge messes. Eventually it stops after I keep pressing the dispenser bar several times to force it to stop but the water is all over the floor. Same thing happens when dispensing ice.
SOURCE: water dispenser starts running when freezer door closed
if you wich to disable the despenser for water in the door just unplug the electrial connector on the water valve it has 2 selenoids on it one is for water in the door it has the largest plastic line under the selenoid
just unplug the connector to that selenoid
you will still have ice and it will despense through the door

sounds like the switches are getting stuck and not releasing properly. the switches are inexpensive and relatively easy to replace if you want to tackle the problem yourself. Joe

Then I would assume that the micro switch that you press
for water is defective and sticking. I am placing a=> 242100001 Dispenser
Module to give you an idea to what I am talking about but if you have a model
number for your Electrolux refrigerator I may could find a micro-switch that is
replaceable, Thanks Sea Breeze

if is not the paddle. It sounds like your problem is the micro switch that controls the ice and water. It is located on the left side of the Dispenser control unit.
