dispenser fridge that has burned up 2 ice dispenser control boards (the
original & a replacement i installed), the second fried the instant i
touched the dispenser button. i also replaced the solenoid. i've heard
scuttlebut that Maytag had problems with these, anyone know anything

I HAD a maytag of similar vintage and the icemaker and associated
parts required a service call almost every year. I had an extended
warranty on it. The least dependable refrigerator I've ever owned.

Check with the gurus at repaircliniic.com. Odds are they will have some
good advice especially if the it is a generic problem. Good place to
buy repair parts and with their instructions, avoid having the new part
get fried. Good luck.

repairclinic.com is where i got the replacement part that fried the
second time.
their suggestion wasto get a 2nd opinion (i had Whirlpool "look" @ it,
which is all he did, his suggestion was to "reach into the freezer to
get the ice out") short of payting $330 to get it fixed by them.
