Electrolux Refrigerator control panel not working

If your Electrolux refrigerator control panel not working — whether the refrigerator display not working, some fridge buttons not working, or the entire dispenser is dead — the most likely causes are a failed user control and display board, a faulty dispenser control board, or a bad display board. Start by pressing every button and checking for power to the control/display; if some buttons respond and others do not, the user control/display assembly is the usual culprit. If the whole dispenser system is out, the dispenser control board is more likely. Also check the wire harness and connectors for loose or damaged wiring, and remember that on some models the controls are built into the dispenser front panel so the whole assembly may need replacement. Finally, rule out incoming power problems by confirming the cord is fully seated, the outlet and circuit breaker are working, and the refrigerator is on a dedicated circuit. For the exact replacement part for your model, enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the correct control board, display, harness, or dispenser panel.

01 - Electrolux Refrigerator User Control and Display Board

To determine if the user control and display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the user control and display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display is not working, check the power to the user control and display board. If the user control and display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.

02 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board

The dispenser control board governs most of the functions of the dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, it is probable that an individual part has failed. In this case, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the control board is more likely to be at fault.

03 - Electrolux Refrigerator Display Board

To determine if the display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display board is not working, check for power to the display board. If the display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.

04 - Disconnected or Damaged Wire Harness

The wires from the control panel to the control board may be loose or have become disconnected. Make sure the wire harness connectors are tight. A damaged wire harness will need to be replaced.

05 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Front Panel

On some refrigerator models the user controls are part of the ice and water dispensers front panel. If none of the control panel buttons are working, it's probable the main control board is malfunctioning. However, if some of the buttons on the control panel are still functioning, it's more likely the unit's user control and display is faulty. If this component is sold as part of the dispenser front panel, the entire assembly can be replaced.

06 - Incoming Power Problem

Ensure power cord is fully inserted into a regular electrical outlet and the outlet is supplying power. Check fuses or circuit breaker if needed. It is best to keep the refrigerator on it's own dedicated circuit and not to use a ground fault receptacle which can interrupt power to large appliances.
Highly Likely

07 - Electrolux Refrigerator Main Control Board

The main control board might be defective. However, the control board is rarely at fault for this problem. Before replacing the control board, first check all of the dispenser components. If none of the dispenser components are defective, consider replacing the main control board.
