So after my kitchen reno I pushed my fridge back in and the lights on the water dispenser were off, Water wont come out anymore. The ice maker still works but no lights/water. I did test the GFCI line going to the circuit of the fridge before this happened. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, turning off. Everything else still works with it.

Test water feed solenoid/ solenoids.
1 On rear of unit, check water feed by cracking the compression fitting and make sure water is getting to fridge through ice maker line. Bring a towel.
2 if water is at solenoid, have someone attempting to dispense water. If nothing, unplug solenoid valve and test for power with meter. Should test 120 volt ac when called upon for water is dispensing If no water out when plugged in, valve is bad. Replace. Very common failure part. 2-3 screws, 2 fittings, one wire plus or two wire depending on make model.
3 if no power to valve when requesting water dispense, things get tricky. Make model/control board, door closed signal etc.
4 do a hard reset, unplug and wait 5 minutes before plugging back in.
Make and model really helps in the forums.
Optional, Insist domestic partner caused failure, but in reality, pure coincidence.

Seems probable you may have disturbed control wiring in the dispenser compartment! In particular it would not seem unreasonable to believe, first checking wiring connections at water dispenser switch. Also may want to check water pump connection at supply. Failing that dispenser controller at display panel may have issue.

Simple reminder to verify you turned on water supply, and connected supply hose if previously disconnected, Particularly if the water source shutoff tap is mounted remotely or below grade of the appliance.
