Hi - I have this same fridge and came across this thread while searching for possible solutions, since I was having the exact same problem. Fridge started acting crazy, followed by all the lights out, water/ice non functional, and the drawer control out.
Now, I'll start by saying that a few weeks back I'd also run into the problem with the blown freezer light, where most of the lights would be dim but the freezer light actually went fully out. And replacing that LED brought back all the interior lights and everything worked normal. So I don't know if this is in any way related to the current issues.
BUT, as described in the troubleshooting steps in this thread, disconnecting the drawer control unit DID bring back most of the rest of the fridge. The interior lights came back on, I regained use of the main control panel, and ice now dispenses. However, unlike the other poster, our water is still out. I'm not hearing the click of the solenoid, just the click of the switch being pushed on by the glass. Is there any correlation between the drawer unit (being disconnected) and the water dispenser not functioning?
I'm honestly ok with leaving the drawer controls disconnected, since we rarely use varying temperatures in that drawer anyway (which is to say we always manage to push the button when reaching in, and it's always on an arbitrary setting anyway), but we'd really like to get the water dispenser back, especially since if the water's not flowing, that probably means ice won't be getting made either.
Any suggestions? And thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention, a week or two ago (after the freezer light incident) we did have a brownout followed by a several minute blackout, I think a branch hit a nearby power line or something. So maybe some random electronics got damaged?
