Maytag MFI2266AEU Water and ice dispenser locked, control panel

I have a Maytag MFI2266AEU model. The water and ice dispenser is not working. It is locked after continuously dispensing water for 2 minutes. This model does not have a lock/unlock button. It does not automatically reset itself. It instead totally locks the keypad. (Happened before). Cannot find unlock code/sequence in any of the owners manuals!

Door Panel Locked
Press Door Alarm and Freezer "-" at the same time, then release Door Alarm but continue pressing Freezer "-". You will see PE _ _ _ _.
Press Freezer "-" until PE # # # # shows on the panel.
Using Freezer "+" to move cursor, Refrigerator "+" and "-" to change numbers, bring all numbers to "0". Press Freezer "-" until PE and numbers blink. Unplug refrigerator for 45 seconds, never beyond 1 minute or you'll have to start over.
Look inside refrigerator door and locate the serial sticker. To the right of the serial number is the CODE ####. Plug in your refrigerator.
Press Door Alarm and Freezer "-" at the same time, then release Door Alarm but continue to press Freezer "-". Using the same method as above, enter the four digit CODE number you found on the serial sticker. Press Freezer "-" until PE and numbers blink. You have just reset your panel. Unplug for 45 seconds. Plug in refrigerator and you should now have full use of your door panel.
This unit has a built in safety timer mechanism. If it dispenses water for two minutes, it assumes it is flooding your house and shuts the panel down. If you are filling a pitcher of water, just stop dispensing halfway through to reset the safety timer.

Directions ae great, but FYI - I was able to do this without unpugging. Yes, Model # MFI2266AEU.
I dislike this refrigerator immensely. It is not sturdy - I've had to replace several compnents in the refrigerator, and I see where more are cracking. The kids have knocked the handle off of the freezer twice - the last time it scratched the heck out of the bottom door/drawer. Now the freezer drawer came off of it's track, keeping the freezer from closing properly and causing it to frost. We had snow!
I was not able to re-fit the freezer drawer so we had to remove it and maybe someone handy will drop by and try.

The ice maker spits ice out all over when you try to dispense, and many glasses do not fit it well. We use a particular pitcher to collect ice and water and then pour it into our glasses. The ice maker has no additional settings, so you can not get crushed ice or slow the rate at which the ice dispenses. The ice maker will also drop ice cubes by itself at times, leaving lovely puddles on the floor.

I have never been so displeased with an appliance before. For the price tag, I believed we were getting a high quality product. WRONG!

How do I turn off dispenser on GE 22 MODEL

I assume you are referring to the water dispenser on your GE refrigerator. To turn off the water dispenser, you can either: Press and hold the "Lock" button on the control panel until the water dispenser display turns off. This will lock all the functions of the control panel, including the water dispenser. Locate the water shut-off valve behind the refrigerator and turn it off. This will shut off the water supply to the refrigerator and disable the water dispenser. Note: If you are trying to turn off the ice dispenser, the process may vary depending on the model of your refrigerator. Some models have a separate on/off switch for the ice dispenser, while others do not allow you to turn off the ice dispenser without turning off the entire refrigerator. Please consult your owner's manual for specific instructions.

I have a Maytag refrigerator MFI2266AEU about 7 years old. The ice and water dispenser do not work as well as the controls. What might be the problem?

Basic diagnostics: make sure there is water supply line running to the unit and has water. If this is the case check to make sure the water supply line isn't crimped and is charged (has water pressure). If this is the case look for line blockage in the internal lines of the fridge. Make sure that all fuses are intact, there are no ground faults, and there is power to the control board. Make sure all ribbons are in tact and there are no breaks. Check for water damage on any of the sensors or other electronics which could be kicking fuses or internal breakers.

Maytag mfi2568aes control panel

If the refrigerator water dispenser is not working the water supply tube in the door may be frozen. This will be difficult to track down. Look for a connection point at the bottom or top of the door, try removing the hose and blowing air through it and out the dispenser. Next it could be the water valve that sometimes has twin valves for ice and water combined, third is low pressure into the line (bad main valve) or clogged filter... you need about 20psi for function. Last is the door switch, when the freezer door is opened the freezer door switch does two things, it turns on the light in the freezer and turns off the ice and water dispenser. If the door switch fails the dispenser will not turn on. The switch can be checked for continuity with an Ohm meter. If it doesn't have continuity it should be replaced.

Dispenser Panel locked out

If you replaced the front control board your issue may be your water tank. How long after you filled your bottle did it stop working?
