Spending time to find the bad component is futile without proper testing equipment.

Good afernoon and welcome to fixya
you can unplug the fridge and wait a couple of minutes ( this wont hurt anything) then plug it back in. make sure that everything is working fine such as fridge is operating, then start the hunt for the control panel at the parts house of your choice. good luck with this.

Hi there. There is no reset, nor is there a fuse on the board. That unit is very solid state. When you blow the board, it's blown. You should make sure you have power to the frige first, if so, then you need to replace the entire control board. Probably 60 to 100 bucks depending on your parts house. Sorry, and good luck.
