No water or ice or lights on outside of door - Kenmore Elite TRIO® 7854 (25 cu ft) Bottom Freezer French Door Refrigerator

If your outside door lights are on and inside lights are off, and your ice/water dispenser is not working, there may be an issue with the power supply to your refrigerator. Here are some possible solutions you can try:

1. Check the power outlet: Ensure that the refrigerator is properly plugged into the power outlet and that the outlet is functioning properly. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to see if it works.
2. Check the circuit breaker: Check the circuit breaker to see if it has been tripped. Reset it if necessary.
3. Check the refrigerator cord: Inspect the refrigerator cord for any signs of damage or wear. If the cord is damaged, replace it with a new one.
4. Check the door switch: The door switch turns the light on and off when the door is opened and closed. If the switch is faulty, it may cause the inside light to not turn on. Check if the switch is functioning properly.
5. Check the water supply: The ice/water dispenser may not be working if there is no water supply. Check if the water supply valve is turned on and if the water line is properly connected to the refrigerator.

If none of these solutions work, it may be a more serious issue with the refrigerator that requires professional repair. In that case, you may need to contact the manufacturer's customer support or a qualified technician for assistance.

Question about Maytag 22.6 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator with PuriClean II Ice and Water
1 Answer
The light on the outside door (where the ice/water dispenser is) won't turn off. It is dimmer than when you hit the 'light' button, but it stays on constantly when the door is shut. The 'light' button works and turns the bulb brighter, but when you turn it off, it just dims and doesn't go out. The light shuts off when the door is open and turns back on when its closed.

Hi
Reprogramming your refrigerator to only light up when the dispenser is in use saves energy and keepsyour house darker at night. The light is controlled using the buttons above the water dispenser mechanism.Press and hold the "Lock" or "Lock Controls" button for three seconds to activate the controls if they currently are locked.Tap the "Light" button to switch off the light.Press and hold the "Lock" button for another three seconds to lock the controls from further changes. The light now only comes on when the dispenser is active.
If the above procedure won't work then this will be the cause of a faulty switch. This light switch is an integrated part of the dispenser control circuit board. This will require you, or your service tech to replace the entire dispenser/ice maker control board. It will be located just behind the dispenser fascia, mounted on a bracket. the actual light switch circuit is mounted on this board.
Try this procedure:-
Shutdown the unit for five minutes. Simply unplug the unit for this length of time. This will reset the board, and possibly, fix this fault if it is not to severe. If the shutdown dose not correct the switch action, simply replace the dispenser/switch control circuit board.
Please get back to us if you have further query or else please accept the solution.

Hi,

I would look at the dispenser door for the ice (ice chute) I have seen this door not completely close and cause leaking the you are describing. This door is has a black seal, use a flashlight, from the inside of the freezer door, look for light on the outside of the door. I think you leak is there and replace the solenoid for the door to fix this issue. Good Luck, if you want more help please input a model number. Thanks

How to replace Ice maker assembly?

These will help.

Thanks,.

in the past i have seen this happen when the ice ben is emoved and the drive impeller is not seated properly usually due to ice ect. Its a pain but take out the ben and see if the motor turns normally. you can hold the door switch closed by hand and have someone push the button for ice if the motor turns you have the problem i have said. If not your door switch is bad and needs to be replaced it controlls the power to the bulb and the ice maker motor. You can pop the door switch out with a flatblade screw driver but have a replacement on hand wire plug into the back of it the switch is an on off switch. Make sure you unplug the ref first electricity bites...

Try replacing the water inlet valve located where the water line connects

INSIDE THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY IS A SEPARATE ELECTRONIC BOARD THAT CONTROLS THE DISPENSER.
OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR SOLENOID OR THE CUBE ICE SOLENOID WILL SHORT OUT CAUSING A BURNOUT OF THE DISPENSER CONTROL BOARD. CHECK FOR A BURNT SMELL COMING FROM THE DISPENSER HOUSING. IF YOU SMELL IT, THE BOARD AND/OR SOLENOID NEED TO BE REPLACED.

Please post the model number so I can pull up a schematic. Some models have a "night light" mode that may have been activated so check the owners manual, other than that the control board could be bad, providing a slight "leakage" of power to the lamp (depending on the type of lamp control circuit).
