David T. for Model Number GSL25JFPABS I have bought a new control board for my refrigerator. I notice that the new control board has a grounding wire and the old control board doesn't have a grounding wire. When I installed the new board I just attached the grounding wire to one of the screws that screw to the body of the refrigerator. My other issue is that, after installing the new board, my freezer side works just fine, but my refrigerator side is not getting cold. I noticed the flapper door on the top that lets the cold air from the freezer side over to refrigerator side is not opening. Before I installed the control board, the refrigerator side worked just fine. The freezer side had a defrost problem. I have changed out the heater and thermistor to narrow down to the control board problem, but now I have another problem. The refrigerator is not getting cold. Thank you
Answer Hello David, You have connected the ground wire correctly. If frost is still on the coils the issue will be the frost build up on the coils preventing the circulation of air from the freezer side to the fresh food side. You should be aware that the defrost circuit can only defrost a normal amount of frost between defrost cycles and if an excess frost had occurred, the frost will have to be removed with a hair dryer or steamer before normal operation can occur again. If the frost has been removed you should check the defrost heater WR51X10055 and defrost thermostat WR50X10068 assemblies since one of them could be the source of the problem. Read More...
