Maytag Whirlpool MFI2269VEM3 front display dead and not cooling

[tweak_four17]

Hey guys,

Got a Maytag Whirlpool side by side fridge model MFI2269VEM3 and yesterday morning the front panel had no lights of readings on the LED display. The inside is no longer cooling or freezing, however there is still power to the unit as the light on the inside is still on and if I push a button on the front panel all the lights lighs up and the display reads 8888 (ie, all possible number combinations). I tried various button combinations I found somewhere on the net to try to reset it. Tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. Neither worked unfortunately.

Any idea what the problem could be? Bad control board I'm guessing but which? The dispenser or main? or maybe something else thats easier like a fuse or something? Any insights are appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi, i have the exact same problem, did you ever find out what is was?

Hi there, turns out the main control board in the back was the problem, replaced it and re-programmed the code found inside the door and everything works again.

Its nearly always the control on the back.

Thank you I will look into getting that part!
