A fluid dispenser for a refrigerator comprising;

• a dispenser housing;
• a dispenser frame pivotally mounted within the dispenser housing, the dispenser frame comprising a front face and two side faces and a first gear disposed on one of the side faces:
• an actuator comprising a paddle and a lever, the paddle pivotally mounted to the dispenser housing, the lever interlocking with the dispenser frame such that when the paddle is pushed, the lever causes the dispenser frame to pivot forward;
• a flexible and compressible tube with a dispensing open end mounted to the dispenser frame;
• a fixed compression jaw mounted onto the dispenser housing above a pivot point of the paddle and behind the flexible and compressible tube;
• a movable compression jaw having a jaw end and a pivot end, the jaw end mounted in front of the flexible and compressible tube and opposite the fixed compression jaw, and at least one of the fixed and movable jaws have two protrusions facing the tube;
