I've done a lot of searching on here and haven't found my exact issue so I figured I'd post up to see if anyone has an idea and can point me in the right direction.
The fridge works 99% of the time however it will just randomly shut it self off. The interior lights go blank and the unit seems to be shut off, however the ice/water display will illuminate and work but no ice or water will dispense. A simple power cycle will reset the fridge and it will work normally again. Sometimes the fix stays working for a week or two and other times it works for less than a day. I've checked the Pantry control board and there is no water or corrosion but I have not left it disconnected. I cannot pinpoint or cause the shutdown so duplicating for a repair tech will be impossible. The only issue I have found is the ice maker will not produce ice at times. Yesterday afternoon we had to do a power cycle to get the fridge running again, during the evening we used a fair amount of ice and normally the ice maker would fill back up overnight, however this morning the ice bin is still only half full otherwise normal operation.

Hi,

Yes, the control board is the culprit causing this problem, seen this many times on my service calls.

Here's another couple of members that had this same issue:

Make sure you unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet before you replace the control board.

Here's the control board for your model:
