It seemed fine the day before, however, this evening none of the buttons on the front control panel are lit up and it will not dispense water or ice. I assume one of the electrical panels or connectors has gone bad? Or does the dispenser unit have a fuse? I didn't see a fuse mention in the owners manual. How can I tell which part might be bad without trying each replacing each part until it works? My appliance part supply house will not let you return most electronic parts. Could it be the front panel Part# 2301327B has just given out? Not sure how to tell Thanks in advance for any responses
