Is This the Right Part?
Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar control box assemblies may differ in connector layout, mounting configuration, or software version.
Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator not cooling or unable to maintain set temperature
- Compressor not running or short-cycling
- Cooling components not responding to control commands
- Erratic or unresponsive temperature controls
Check Before Replacing
- Verify the power supply and outlet are functioning — rule out a tripped breaker or failed outlet before condemning the control box
- Test the compressor start relay — shake it and listen for a rattle, which indicates failure; a faulty relay mimics a dead control box
- Check the thermistor/temperature sensor — a faulty sensor can send incorrect readings that mimic a control box failure
- Inspect the evaporator and condenser fan motors — a seized fan can cause the control box to shut down the cooling cycle
