Electrolux Refrigerator dispenser leaking water
If your refrigerator dispenser is leaking water or you have a drip under the door, the most likely problem is a damaged or misaligned dispenser door that is not closing properly and letting water escape. Next check the house water pressure and the inlet path, since low pressure or a partially clogged water line can cause slow fills that overflow the dispenser. A worn dispenser actuator that fails to fully engage and stick open is a common mechanical failure after that, and less commonly a faulty water inlet valve or a bad dispenser switch will allow continuous flow. Inspect the dispenser door and actuator first, test water pressure at the kitchen faucet, and if pressure is adequate use a multimeter to check the inlet valve and switches. You can find replacement dispenser doors, actuators, inlet valves and switches at RepairClinic.com, and entering your refrigerator model number will show the exact part that fits your fridge so you can fix the leak right the first time.
01 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Door
The dispenser door is opened by a motor or a solenoid to dispense the ice, but if the door is broken, it may not open properly in order to release the ice. You should inspect the dispenser door for damage to determine if the component should be replaced. You may have to remove the dispenser control panel or frame to access and inspect the dispenser door.

Highly Likely
02 - Low Water Pressure from House Supply
The water inlet valve, which supplies water to the refrigerator water dispenser, requires sufficient water pressure to work properly. If the water pressure is too low, the dispenser will leak. You can check the water flow at the kitchen faucet to help determine if the home's water pressure is sufficient or not.
Common
03 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Actuator
The dispenser actuator is the component that activates the switch or switches to send voltage to the dispenser. If the dispenser actuator is damaged, it may be unable to activate the switch. Inspect the dispenser actuator for any damage and replace with a new one if necessary.
Common
04 - Electrolux Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
A refrigerator water inlet valve will direct water to the dispenser as well as the ice maker fill tube. If the inlet valve is obstructed, the solenoid coils on the valve are defective, or the home's water pressure is too low, the water valve will not work properly. The valve requires at least 20psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to test the water inlet valve for continuity. If the water inlet valve does not have continuity, replace it.
Less Common
05 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Switch
The dispenser switches send voltage to the dispenser. If one of the dispenser switches is defective, the dispenser will not work. To determine if a dispenser switch is defective, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If a dispenser switch does not have continuity, replace it.
