Can't change dispenser selector

SOURCE: Ice Maker -cube selection

job well done

SOURCE: water/ice dispenser activates at will, selector panel locks up

Hi jrupich,
There is only two things that can cause this problem. One would be the dispencer control board. Part #61003425
The other thing is a stuck or shorted dispencer switch
part #61005520
Since you say that you have already replaced the control, I would have to go with the switch, but in rare cases the new board installed in the dispencer can also be faulty. Some appliance techs will even sell you a used one and tell you it is new. You have to trust your repairman. Good luck to you and I hope this will FixYa. please dont forget to rate me.

Normally you just need to hit the unlock button in for 10 seconds.

If this not works, here is what you need to do -

Note: If dispenser is active for more than five
minutes, an automatic lock out sensor will shut
down power to dispenser area.
Dispenser Lock/Unlock
The Dispenser Lock and Unlock affects all keypad functions.
To Lock Dispenser:

• Press and hold the Lock/Unlock button for three

seconds. A green indicator light above the button will
illuminate when the dispenser is locked.
To Unlock Dispenser:

• Hold the Lock/Unlock button for three seconds. The

green indicator light above will go out


Otherwise your refrigerator has a preset shut down program that protects the dispenser from flooding your kitchen. The control will shut down and will NOT reset when unplugged. The control needs to be reprogrammed. This mode was triggered by drawing out water for too long of a period of time. Call a Maytag service dealer.
