micro switch
The water dispenser on my refrigerator wouldn't dispense water. So I went to fix.com to find out why. They gave me 4 different reasons why it wasn't working. 3 of them were relatively inexpensive and the 4th was expensive and difficult to replace. So I went with the 3 easy fixes and 1 of them worked. Not sure which one. Also I liked how they showed me how to replace each part.
