Finally a forum response that answers an issue!

Thanks all for the input on this. I'm having the same issue. Control quit working, lights don't work, deli drawer controls not working. Then the fridge dings and everything is fine again. Going to check out the wiring harness this weekend and see what I find.

Model KRMF706EBS01

My Fridge is KRMF706ESS00.

I had the similar issue this morning when my daughter was telling me that the lights in the fridge stopped working. Right away, I was alarmed since they may mean that the freezer is also not working. I checked the fridge and sure enough, the light is not working when doors are opened. I tried the water and ice dispenser and they are also not working. The ice dispenser control panel is working so that I know the AC power is working. I also checked the left drawer and did not see any led light lid on the control panel. After reading some of the post, I decide to check the five wire cable assembly for kinks or cuts. The cable seems to be find without any sign of external damage. After checking out the video on how to remove the wire harness, decided it is too involved to perform that task with all the food still inside the Fridge. I happened to read someone removed the crisp drawer (the left drawer) control panel and unplug the two wire connector and it started working. I saw the video on how to remove the drawer control panel and it seems to be easy. I follow the instruction and removed the control panel. After looking at the control panel, I agreed that there is over engineering on this fridge. I removed the two wire connector which I believe is the power to the panel and left the other connector connected. After plugin in AC power, I noticed the led lights inside the fridge started to work but the water dispenser is still not working. I decided to remove AC power and unplug the three wire connector on the control panel and also plug and unplug 2-3 times to make sure the connection is solid. After I done this, I plugged all two connector back into the control panel and re-apply the AC power, right away, I noticed that the fridge seemed different from before, after 2-3 seconds, i heard the compressor kicks in and starts to hums. I checked the led lights inside the fridge, they are working, then I check the water dispenser and it started to work. Last thing I checked is the control panel on the left drawer and the one of the led is on and by pressing the select button, the led moved from one setting to the next.

I don't know what happened but it seems there may be some back contact of some sort the stopped the left drawer control panel from working. Once this control panel stops working, the entire fridge stops to work. We got this fridge around 2016, so it is around 4-5 years old. I am concerned with all these electronic control panel having issues in the future. We still have our original GE fridge sitting in our garage and that fridge is almost 28 years old and have two heating coil replaced in the past 28 years. No fancy electronics and just simple fridge.

I hope this experience helps anyone with this type of fridge.

Same issue here! How did everyone resolve?

I found one wire to be broke in the harness on mine. Just follow it back when you unplug it and pull the protective sheathing back. Fixed it with a butt connector and heat shrink. All good for now!

We are having the exact same problems with our KitchenAid 5-door refrigerator that is about 3 years old. No ice, no water and no lights - the fridge seems to be staying cold but this is seriously frustrating when it isn't that old. We are going to try using all information you wonderful people have posted and see if we can get this issue fixed! Thanks to everyone that posted about this annoying issue!
