Gina, You would need to get the user interface which is part number 5304527931 to correct this issue and is a part that you could replace. Underneath the display there is a piece of trim that has 2 screws on the bottom side of it. Remove teh trim piece and then there will be 2 screws behind it to remove to take out the user interface.

Hello Guy. Make sure the filter is good. If so, then it sounds like the water valve may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit.

Ed, Remove the drip tray from the dispenser. Once removed you will need to take out the one screw at the front under the tray. Then you gently pull out on the bottom and all the way around to pop the front panel off. Once off you will then remove 2 screws at the top of the control panel. Remove the control board and you will have access to the funnel assembly.
