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
Pro Tip: Before replacing the control box assembly, test the compressor start relay first — shake it and listen for a rattle. A failed relay is far more common and significantly cheaper to replace. If both the relay and control box are suspect, replacing both in the same service call eliminates the two most common root causes and avoids a second labour visit.

Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing.
  2. Photograph all wiring harness connections and connector positions before removal.
  3. Compare the new W11629179 assembly with the original before installation.
  4. Inspect the wiring harness connectors for burn marks, corrosion, or loose pins.
  5. Restore power and allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach full operating temperature before further troubleshooting.

Use a qualified technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience. Handle electronic components using appropriate static-control precautions.
