SOURCE: water dispenser lever on Frigidaire
My Frigidaire side by side is a little different from tech17's solution. It has no slots for a screwdriver to pry it off. It is a model FLSC23F6D55 manufactured 3/05. There is a semicircular spill tray in the bottom of the recessed water station. Just pry out the tray, from the bottom corner of the frame from the side and or bottom. (I did this with a knife blade.) This tray is a snap-in fit. Then you will see three phillips head screws in the bottom of the frame. Take out these three screws and remove the frame by lifting up on it and pulling out at the bottom. Then take out three more phillips mounting screws to remove the processor card and key pad. You will then see the top of the water lever mounting. The lever comes out by removing two more screws that hold the pivot shaft of the lever. (These last screws are a little more diffiucult to get to, but not anywhere near impossible.) I wish you well.

Get part number WR49X10173 from Consumer Relations (800-386-1215. (Free; be sure they understand how long you have had to deal with this issue) ($38+ if you buy part on line)
The part includes instructions to install, but not how to remove the control panel. Here's how: Look from below the panel to observe 3 holes (aprox. 1/8" dia) located in a long narrow depression. Observe that there is the edged of a plactic tab visible partly covering each hole. Use a pointed tool such as a shish-kabob skewer to carefully probe the hole at the right or left end, and carefully pull the control panel forward on the side with the hole you are probing. This will help release the tab, allowing the panel to come off. Repeat for the opposite side.
The instructions with the part take over from here. The part is a loop of wire that provides a bit of heat to keep the area warm, and is held in place by some aluminum tape, then spliced into the red and the black/white wires on the 6-wire harness on the left side of the control. BE SURE the power is OFF!!!!
