Safety first: Use dry hands when working around the control panel. Unplug the refrigerator before removing any covers.

Steps:

• 1. Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. Plug back in and see if the display returns to normal. If not, continue.
• 2. Access control panel: Remove the display/control panel trim (often snaps off) and remove screws to access the user interface board.
• 3. Check connections: Inspect ribbon cables and connectors between the display and main control board. Reseat all connectors firmly.
• 4. Inspect for damage: Look for burnt components, corrosion, or moisture on the display board.
• 5. Replace user interface board: If the board is damaged or the issue persists after reseating, replace the display/user interface board with the correct part for your Kenmore model.
• 6. If problem remains: The main control board may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.
