When you selected between crushed and cubed do you hear any thing happening?

The problem could be in the electronic board or it could be the solenoid in the dispenser.

The solenoid switches the dispenser from crushed to cubed.

Follow your wiring diagram on the back of the fridge and see if you are getting power to the solenoid.
