Crosley Refrigerator ice and water dispenser not working
If your Crosley fridge water dispenser and ice dispenser are dead, the most likely culprits are the dispenser actuator or the actuator failing to engage the switch, followed by a failed dispenser control board, a bad dispenser switch, or a faulty door switch that prevents the dispenser from getting power. Also make sure drawers and doors are fully closed and sealed, since misclosed doors commonly stop the dispenser from working. Less often the water filter housing or a damaged filter seat will block flow and make the refrigerator dispenser not dispensing water. For quick troubleshooting, inspect the actuator for visible damage, test switches and the door switch with a multimeter for continuity, and observe whether the entire dispenser system is dead before replacing the control board. If you also have an ice maker not making ice, those same controls and the water supply path are good places to check.

01 - Crosley 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.

02 - Crosley Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board
The dispenser control board governs most of the functions of the dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, it is probable that an individual part has failed. In this case, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the control board is more likely to be at fault.

03 - Crosley 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.

04 - Crosley Refrigerator Door Switch
The door switch turns off the ice and water dispenser when the refrigerator door is open. If the door switch fails, the dispenser will not turn on. To determine if the door switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the door switch does not have continuity when activated, replace it.

05 - Doors not closing properly
Check to make sure all drawers and ice buckets are pushed in properly. Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed. There should be no visible gap around the door gasket.
Highly Likely
06 - Crosley Refrigerator Water Filter Housing
On many refrigerators, the incoming water will pass through a water filter before reaching the dispenser or the ice maker fill tube. If the water filter housing is damaged, water may not flow through the housing when the filter is installed. Inspect the water filter housing for damage and confirm it is properly seated. If necessary replace the damaged housing with a new one.
