THROUGH THE DOOR WATER AND ICE DISPENSER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A through-the-door ice and cold water dispenser for domestic refrigeration units provides a housing positioned within a recess formed in the door insulation. The dispenser provides an actuation cradle formed with a smoothly curved concave surface in combination with a switch operating system which requires low forces for operation so that the dispenser can be actuated by fragile containers, such as styrofoam cups. An insulated damper door is closed when the dispenser is not operating to prevent heat transfer into the freezer compartment where the ice is produced and stored. A heater positioned against the damper door operates to release the damper door should it become frozen in the closed position. All of the controls for the dispenser are located in the upper portion of the housing and are accessible with a minimum amount of disassembly when service or maintenance is required. A spill tray is located in the bottom of the dispenser recess to contain and retain spilled water and melted ice water. The spill tray is easily removable for dumping.
