22’ Maytag ICELAND Control Board Locked up. (Possibility of 10,000 units involved.)
Archived on: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:54:38

control_locked. Symptoms: Unit runs and cools; fans and interior lights work. Temperature display indicates 0 and 38 degrees but temperature settings cannot be changed. The only user interface pad that will function is the cool off pad when depressed for 3 seconds. Unit will not dispense water or ice. Unplugging the unit has no effect - when the unit is plugged back in the control is still locked. Cause: If the water dispenser pad is depressed uninterrupted for 2 minutes or more, the board interprets the signal as a stuck dispenser switch and shuts down all functions except refrigeration. Correction: There is only one way to unlock the control. Use the information on the Technical Data sheet and: see below for the solution....

ServiceTechHelp.com Site Posting Rules
Guideline Rules
    1. Please do not post in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS; this is the Internet version of shouting, and is irritating to many posters.

    2. Don't get carried away with excessive punctuation (posting dozens of exclamation points, etc.).

    3. It’s also a good idea to run long posts through a spell check; doing so demonstrates respect for your fellow posters.

    4. Please post in plain language avoiding the use of text abbreviations.

    5. Post in the correct forum. If you do not post in the correct forum, your post may be moved to the correct forum or deleted without notice.

    6. Do not cross post. Cross posting is the act of posting the same topic in several different forums. Cross posted topics may be deleted without notice.

    7. Do not fork threads. This means, do not reply to an existing topic with an unrelated topic. These types of responses are bad form and may be deleted without notice.

    8. Do not post with generic, non descriptive or childish titles. Be as descriptive about your subject matter as possible. Include the Brand, Type, Model and serial Number in your post with a description of the problem. This allows the search feature to work more effectively, and also allows other members to easily browse through the search results for relevant threads.

    9. Do not reply to posts or threads with spam. Commercial posts are not allowed. Your post will be deleted.

    10. Do not bump posts unless you have something to add. Bumps will get deleted.

    11. Make an effort to search the forums BEFORE you start a new thread on a topic that already has 100 posts.

    12. Be kind and respectful to other members. We all are here for the same reason.

    13. Do be sure to read what the other person is actually saying and not what you think they may be saying.

    14. Don't get personal; a good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people".

    15. Do keep messages on-topic and post on the appropriate topic board.

    16. Don't duplicate existing topics elsewhere.

    17. Do watch what you say – you are responsible for what you write. Views that are expressed in the forums are not endorsed (agreed with) by servicetechhelp.com

    18. Don't post personal information about yourself or someone else in public areas (whether you know them or not) - it's for your own safety.
