Ken, the control A01078804 in the refrigerator section would need to be tested for 120VAC at connection J1 pin 3 (black wire). If there is 120VAC, but the LED display is not illuminating, then the control has failed and would need to be replaced. If there is not 120VAC, then the wires will need to be inspected for any breaks and if the break is in the wiring harness 5304521777, repair as necessary.

Stacy, The dispenser not working would most likely be caused by the power board on the dispenser which is part number 242053503 and for the icemaker not working you will want to check to see if the icemaker will cycle but not draw in water. If it will not draw water then check for power to the valve when the icemaker calls for water. If there is power then the valve is the issue and if no power then the icemaker will be the issue.

Kyle, You will want to check the crush/cube solenoid at the back of the freezer next to the auger motor. The solenoid on crush should be in the down position when the bin is slid into place for the arm to go into the hole. If the solenoid is in the up position then pull down on it and reinstall the bin and see if it dispenses cubed. If it does not then the issue will most likely be the solenoid that has failed.

Hello Aaron. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
