Confirm the complete model number, including suffixes and revision digits, before ordering. Similar control boards may differ in connector layout, software calibration or hardware revision.

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator not cooling or maintaining temperature
• Compressor not running or cycling incorrectly
• Fans not operating or running continuously
• Defrost system not activating or running continuously
• Error codes or fault indicators on the display
• Refrigerator completely unresponsive after a power event

Check Before Replacing

• Verify the refrigerator has power and the circuit breaker has not tripped
• Check the temperature settings and confirm they have not been accidentally changed
• Inspect the door seals for gaps or damage — heat infiltration can cause temperature problems without control board failure
• Check the condenser coils for heavy dust or frost buildup that could cause cooling problems
• Verify the evaporator and condenser fans are operating — a failed fan motor can cause temperature problems that appear to be control board faults
• Confirm the compressor start relay is functioning before replacing the control board
