Zusammenfassung:A refrigerator water dispenser (10) is disclosed which includes a mounting bracket (11) and a plastic housing (12). The housing houses a water dispensing nozzle (21). The nozzle includes a control valve (22) which is operationally controlled by an electronic switch (23). The housing includes a front panel (27) having a peripheral space (28) which separates the front panel between a peripheral portion (30) and a central portion (31). Hinges (32) allow for the depressed, pivotal movement of the central portion and provides a spring like effect which aids in returning the central portion to its neutral position after it has been manually depressed. A resilient rubber touch pad (34) is coupled to the front side of the housing which includes a peripheral flange (35) that extends into the space of the housing so as to completely seal the entirety of space and therefore the front face of the housing.
