Inglis Refrigerator control panel not working

If your Inglis refrigerator control panel not working, start by pressing the buttons to see which respond. If some buttons work and others do not, the user control and display board or display module is the most likely culprit; if the board has power but does not respond, replace it. If the entire dispenser system is dead, the dispenser control board or the dispenser front panel assembly may have failed, so test individual dispenser components before swapping the board. Also check for loose or damaged wire harness connectors between the panel and control boards and verify incoming power to the fridge: make sure the cord is fully seated, the outlet is live and the breaker or fuse is OK. For fridge buttons not working or refrigerator display not working, these steps narrow the issue and tell you whether you need a replacement control board, display module, wire harness, or dispenser panel. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement control board or display parts that fit your unit and to follow step by step refrigerator control board troubleshooting.

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 - Inglis 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.

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.

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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
