I have a maytag side by side fridge with ice maker and water dispenser in the door that worked perfect. Until I removed the doors to transport it to another location. When I placed the doors back on I have no water or ice dispenser. it still makes ice. there is power going to the door panel because the lights are on. When you push the button for ice nothing happens the auger motor does not turn or the trap door for the ice does not open. the same when you push the button for the water nothing happens. I check for power going to the switch. I have power at the switch and the power goes to the mother board but does not go any father then that. is it possiable that the board burnt out just like that. any help you can give me would be appricated thank you

Great suggestions from Brian, thank you!
This model does have an additional dispenser board that sometimes trips up even the most experienced technician, they call it a “fountain switch”. This board works in series with the main dispenser board and could potentially be the root of your problem. As Brian stated though start with your basics, make sure you do have water to the door and good electrical connections all the way throughout. If there was some rough road during transportation you may simply have had one of the internal harnesses come loose that may need reconnecting. Good Luck!

I would double check your wire connections at the door hinge to the dispenser. Make sure no wires are damaged and that the connections are tight. Also, with the door open hold in the door switch and then try getting water from the dispenser. The door may not be pushing the door switch in far enough when it closes to send power for the dispenser. If still not working after checking theses components, you may have a bad dispenser control board.
