Display / main-board communication fault

Power the refrigerator off at the outlet for a minute, then restore it to see whether Ed clears on a cold restart
Reseat the connector between the door display and the main board, a frequent intermittent-contact point on Midea units
Flex the harness at the hinge to find a cracked conductor that opens the link as the door swings
Inspect both board headers for moisture-corroded pins that break the communication signal
Substitute the display board first, then the main board, to isolate the failed end
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Midea routes the display harness across the door hinge on dispenser models, so an Ed that comes and goes as the door opens is nearly always a cracked hinge conductor rather than a dead board.
