My in-door ice maker keeps dispensing

My Kenmore Elite french door refrigerator will not stop dispensing ice or water long after I release the lever. I have tried to clean it with appliance cleaner but am still having the same issue. I cannot get it to stop unless I time it or open the door. My warranty is expired and don’t want to pay the high cost of appliance repair. What can I do to resolve this issue?

I’m attaching a link that has the parts diagram breakdown. You can locate the switch with lever on the dispenser diagram. I’ve found the lever to be bent and doesn’t allow the switch to disengage when you remove your cup. @Shandice Jefferson

There is a switch behind the dispenser lever that is sticking. I can be of more help without a model number. It is located inside the fresh food section on a sticker.

Hi @Shandice Jefferson,

To add to the answer above here's a link to the dispenser switch - part #402C scroll down to dispenser parts diagram, left side of webpage to find its' location.

Here's a close up view showing what it looks like and the cost of the part.
