The model number is KSBS25FKBT00. The water dispenser does work. The light will not come on and the ise will not come out as a cube or crushed.

Ram,
You want to start at the freezer door hinge,on the bottom, check the wiring harness connections for loose and possible shorted wires.
From there you’ll need to remove the dispenser front panel and check the switches and wiring for loose connections and the switches, for the ice dispenser and cavity light.
You’ll need a few basic handtools
