Hi, thanks for using JustAnswer.com. CLICK HERE for the service manual. Page 36 gives you specific instruction on reprogramming the control.

Ok followed those instructions all functions on the reset work as discribed code was correct. tried pushing door alarm button for 3 seconds to complete sequence, no change tried opening door to end sequence no change tried changing code off correct setting then bact to correct setting no change.
Followed service test sequence as discribed in manual all seems to be working correctly. any suggestions? entire panel seems to be locked, no ice or water features will work but under service sequence watter worked on test
Is the dispenser lock on? I am having trouble pulling up a User's Manual but there should be a button to push and hold to lock and unlock the dispenser. Usually they have a padlock icon or the word "lock" written by or above it.
no there is no separate lock feature other blogs indicate a safe feature to prevent flooding that is auto that requies a reset sequence have followed that with 0 results
The reprogram should have reset that. I am trying to locate program info through Service Flashes that went through this...may take a bit. In the meantime, directly under the Door Alarm button is the panel lock/unlock button...press and hold and let me know what happens.Town & Country Appliance Service40556.066868206
i am wondering if there is a reprogram/update service set that needs to be installed? the machine seems to be cooling and freezing just fine just no door controls, no ice no water none of the buttons work, thanks for workin on it

Strange...the Owner's Manual shows it...it may not be labeled. Push about 1" directly below the Door Alarm button...it may be a hidden button. Feel around for it...you should be able to feel it depress.
if its there its not obvious about 1 inche below door alarm is "Temp alarm button" fyi
we have a pdf copy now of the owners manual and have tried all the set up sequences to reset the touch panel. It was stuck with door alarm lit and the light for the water/ice dispenser on and we can't get it to shut off except while running diagnostic test as listed in the manual but when done light is still on with the touch panel unresponsive just beeps
It appears that the control is faulty. You have done everything to reset and reprogram. I have gone through the service bulletins regarding this and we have done everything there is to do. My recommendation is to replace the control. Given the history of failure with these, I see no other option. We have reset all there is to reset and programmed all there is to program. I can't remember if you said you power cycled the unit, but if you have not, unplug for about 5 minutes then plug back in. If still no change, replace number 35 in the picture, located in the rear of the Refrigerator. Part available HERE.
my fridge control panel does not look like the one pictured in the manual

the asterix are what are lit, the light on the dispenser are where ice and water come out is stuck on, I cannot get any thing but a beep when I try to hit cube or water or any other function like turn light to auto when in service mode I can get the water and light to function during the test but the fridge skips right over test #182 I think it was when I went thru the whole list in the manual . what does that mean?
I suspect the main control. The controls on the dispenser are low voltage switching controls only. They are only the user interface for the main control. All functions get their signal and power from the main control. Post your complete model AND serial number....I want to search specifically for that series and see if anything comes up that way.
well the format layout i tried to send you did not display as i typed it :)
My model number is XXXXX MFI2266AEU ser #10364644NC
Nothing new....model shows same as I looked up. My thought is control....there really is nothing else that would cause the unit o resist all programming and resets.
I was able to locate the correct sequence to unlock the panel on my own.I will be requesting a refund but here is the solution I found:there is a safety built in to prevent flooding and is activated when water is depressed for too long a periodreset pe code to 0000 and save.then reset pe code to correct #(*mine was 1515) and saveunplugplug back in and safety is reset all features operate normally thanks for the attempt----funny the service manual does not list this procedure.
Well, thanks for the update! I learned something, thanks! I will put your question in for refund of your deposit. Thanks again for passing that info along!
