Check if the door switches are electrically OK i.e. access the connections on the switches and then either use a voltmeter or disconnect the power and use an Ohmmeter to make sure that they're working OK. Not sure which one but it isn't the light switch, freezer door switch perhaps.
The water/ice dispenser function is designed not to operate if a door is open

One of the door switches is a change over type switch not a simple make switch, so even though the lights go on and off, this doesn't mean that there's a circuit for the ice maker/water dispenser, when the door is closed i.e. two different circuits controlled by the switch i.e lights and dispenser function when it is either in the on or off position.

You need to check it electrically with a meter as i suggested.

The one with the changeover contacts will have 3 wiring terminals on it and the straight door light switch will only have two. Check the door switch at the bottom of the cabinet first

Check if the door switches are electrically OK (freezer door switch?)
