Haier Refrigerator ice and water dispenser not working
If your Haier refrigerator ice and water dispenser is not working, start with the parts most likely to fail: the dispenser actuator that presses the switch, then the dispenser control board if the whole system is dead, followed by the individual dispenser switches. Also check the door switch, since it disables the dispenser when the door is open, and make sure drawers and ice buckets are fully seated and the doors are closing properly. A damaged or misaligned water filter housing can block flow to the dispenser, so inspect that last. For the switches, use a multimeter to test for continuity; if one has failed replace it. If only one function is out, focus on the actuator or the switch; if both ice and water are dead, the control board becomes more likely.

01 - Haier 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.

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.
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.
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.
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 - Haier 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.
