Arctic Air Refrigerator dispenser leaking water
If your Arctic Air refrigerator dispenser is leaking water, the most likely culprit is a damaged dispenser door that no longer seals or opens correctly; inspect the door and remove the dispenser frame or control panel if needed. The next thing to check is house water pressure, since a low-pressure supply will force water out of the dispenser; test the kitchen faucet and make sure pressure to the inlet valve is at least 20 psi. A worn dispenser actuator that fails to trigger the switch can also cause leaking, so look for broken or loose actuator parts. Less commonly the water inlet valve itself may be obstructed or have bad solenoids, and you can use a multimeter to check the valve for continuity. Finally, a faulty dispenser switch can let voltage flow at the wrong time; test switches with a meter and replace any that lack continuity.

01 - Arctic Air 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 - Arctic Air 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 - Arctic Air 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 - Arctic Air 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.
