Came back from vacation to find the refrigerator dead.  The numbers on the display light up for about 5 seconds every now and then, but nothing happens.

It is 9 years old, it is is (was) noisy,  and the seals are starting to go; I am inclined to buy a new one, but thought I would ask here first.  Thanks

Maytag MFI2569VEQ

Last night when we got home it was stone dead.  This morning it would flash the display every now and then.  This afternoon it flashed more often and for a bit longer.  When the flashes got to a few seconds, the compressor came on for a second.  Then 5 seconds.  Now it is normal.

What the heck is going on, and can it be saved?

(My wife doesn't care if it can be saved, she just wants a new one.  But my understanding is that they have gotten progessively worse over the years, so maybe she shouldn't.)

Sounds like bad control board but could be a DC load loading down board.

What is a DC load loading down board?  When I googled nothing came up.

But something did come up that said it may be necessary to reset after a power outage.  I think we did have a momentary outage while we were away.  Is it possible that I reset it by pushing random buttons when it was stone dead?

It has now been working normally for 2 days. I got the nerve up to turn the water back on, and it is making ice.
