Maytag Ice/Water Dispenser Stopped Working

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair
1

I have a Maytag French Door Refrigerator with Bottom Freezer Model MFI2568AES with an Ice/Water dispenser in the door. The refrigerator stopped dispensing water and ice. The front panel has power and the light is on. If I unplug the refrigerator and plug it back in water and ice will dispense once, then stop again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like the problem is a bad dispenser control board.

Hello Gene, I have similar problem. I disconnected the Cavity motor and mullion connector from the LV board (J3). It has a blue/white, Blue/red, Red/BLK. The ice flap does not open and close once I disconnected the connector. Problem is that the water and ice doesn’t work and the LV Board would flash on and off. Basically nuts. I when into the program mode and turned on the cavity motor from off and it dispenses water but then I try the ice and it wants to…but goes back to the ice flap open and closes. I went back into the Program setting and the cavity motor resets to off. I read that others have replaced the HV board. Others the LV board. Once I reconnect to J3 it starts to flash numbers on the display and ice flaps open and close. I also talked to maytag and they say that no recall on this model. I believe so but they deny. Any suggestions?

What is the complete model number of the refrigerator?

Per the Maytag Service bulletin (attached to the post) the correction is to replace the HV control board.

Hello Gene, I checked the HV board and found two CD282 Aluminum Electrolytic capacitor popped. I ordered the capacitors and will soldier them in and give it a try. If no go… then I will order a new board. I will keep you posted. Thanks again.
