I bought the ones below, and love them they were $13.99 at the time. They work with 18650 thru 21700s (only 18650s are listed in ad), I'm fairly sure the one Bronze listed would do the same.

Anyone know how to fix this? It sticks on, I can pull it out to turn off ice or water with my finger. I wonder if there is a spring behind the arm?

These ice./water dispensers are a pain. I've pretty much replaced all the guts out of mine multiple times (not to mention ice bucket problems). Yes Gnees, there is a good chance there's a spring malfunction. Hard to say without digging into it. Possible the spring came off or a piece of the plastic that holds the spring busted. You're gonna have to dig in there and take a look. Be as gentle as you can digging so you can inspect the problem to find the cause. I was able to dig from the front. The trim unsnapped and then I could de-screw stuff from there. Good chance you can find a You Tube video for your model (or similar). If you need parts you can go to Appliance Part Pros and order them. They have blueprints and everything. Sometimes it helps to look at those blueprints before you dig so it gives you an idea how to take it apart. It's not overly complicated.Anyone know how to fix this?

Gnees, here's the website for Appliance Parts Pro. Slap your model number in the search box and you will get access to the blueprints.

Yeah, look at a couple You Tube vids for your make and you'll get a good idea how it comes apart.
@Bronze , What do you think if I go the lazy way first. And spray some WD40 where I think the spring is first It seems there are no electronics near it.
I wouldn't. You'll just make a mess. The spring likely slipped off it's moorings or the area that holds the spring in place busted off. It requires a mechanical fix. The spring is probably fine but it just needs repositioning. Might require parts. Again, hard to say without digging into it.
Take photos as you take the thing apart so you know how it goes back together. And don't say, "I'll remember". You 're too old to remember stuff anymore. Admit it.
I'd go with Contact Cleaner first. Slide something springy under that bottommost part that juts out?
Used to have contact cleaner with a tiny bit of lube at my shop that worked nice.

The downed tree that I am working on is an Ash hit by the borers and collapsed upon itself. Much of the interis hallow then followed by a segment that almost reminds me of termite infestation though rather wet. The outer area is fairly normal wood. This tree dulls chains very fast, I can have nice chips flying out when I start and within half an hour, powder (sawdust) is all that I get. I was wondering if this is normal in your experience or should I watch a couple more youtube's on sharpening technique. In my ten years of sawing, this is a first, but it is also my first borer infested tree.

Ash, hickory, and walnut are basically the same tree. In the same family for sure. Very dense wood and tough on chains. I will sharpen my chain after every tank of gas. Like 3-4 passes on each tooth with your file. A few things to check:
1) Are you filing your rakers?
2) Is your chain tension right?
3) Pull the bar off. Clean it up good picking any crap out of the rail channels. Then try to stand it on edge (both sides) on a nice flat surface like Mrs. CMD's kitchen counter. Can you get it to stand on its own? Does it fall over no matter how many times you try? If you can't get it to stand on its own then one side of the rail is higher than the other and your chain will travel cockeyed as it rotates around the bar and will cut like crap. It is correctable by filing the rails evenly. I can explain how to do it but watching a video would be more effective. I think our You Tube buddy we like has a segment on one of his videos showing how to do it.
I will pull the bar today everything else is OK. When I am finished sharpening the chain, I will cut like a champ, small chips just flying out. Shortly, just sawdust and if I am paying close attention I can see smoke where the wood is heating up. I'll check the level on the bar, thanks.
Yeah, something is amiss. Seems you're file sharpening OK. Bar level would be my first suspicion. It tilts the blade and all the cutting action takes place on one point. It stresses it out quickly and you'll be down to saw dust pretty fast.
