Answer Buford, The defrost control is a circuit located inside the "genesis" control 5303918341 inside the refrigerator compartment. The dispenser control board 241708202 has nothing to do with the operation of the refrigerator. To access The ELECTRONIC control is located in the housing, mounted in the food compartment along with the light and damper assembly. To remove the Control Housing Assembly, remove the three screws across the front control box and the two screws located in the rear control box. After removing cover over water line on front filter models, remove the screw from the back of the control box. The 2 housings will separate at the left back of the front housing by sliding the rear housing to the right until the buttons line up with the larger hole in the slots. The Control is mounted on the left and it controls the cycling of the compressor, condenser fan motor, damper motor, and evaporator fan motor, as well as the defrost cycle. Read More...
