I have a side by side Frigidaire refrigerator and the water dispenser in the door will come on at random and dump out half a glass of water then turn off.
The ice maker isn't making much ice either. Can anyone give me any idea why this is happening?

Hi,

side by side Frigidaire refrigerator
Model#?

the water dispenser in the door will come on at random and dump out half a glass of water then turn off
By itself? If yes, sticky/bad switch, bad electronic dispensor board ( if used on your model ), ice or moisture inside the shorting out, poor/low water pressure causing the fill valve to stay open.

The ice maker isn't making much ice either
Make sure the freezer temp is below 15ºF to cycle the icemaker on and low/poor water fills will also cause slow ice production.

If all else checks ok, this unit has the dreaded Frigidaire diodes in the icemaker and chilled water wiring. These are suppose to pass power in one direction only and if shorted the chilled water can come on when the icemaker is calling for water or the icemaker can over fill when someone is getting a glass of water :(

Diodes don't show in the parts breakdown, may need to call local parts depot to check on them if needed.
