I read an article concerning the same problem and ordered the interior lever, but the real issue was that the plastic piece that activated the water flow was broken off the interior of the water dispenser cover assembly. I popped out the dispenser cover (it is on very snugly) and replaced it with a new one (again, it went back on but with some force needed). I only needed a screwdriver to pop the cover and would suggest you use a towel as a buffer to prevent scratching the interior of the refrigerator.
