Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Main Control Board by Ge

This electronic control board manages your refrigerator's key systems—compressor, fans, and defrost. When the original board fails, you may see warm temperatures or erratic behavior; replacing it restores stable cooling and proper defrosting.

• Regulates compressor and fan operation to maintain set temperatures
• Controls adaptive defrost timing and energizes the defrost heater
• Distributes power to critical loads and processes sensor inputs
• Helps with: no cooling or intermittent cooling, compressor/fans not running, heavy frost from no defrost, or unresponsive/erratic controls

• Disconnect power before servicing; risk of electric shock
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by the edges only
• Photograph and label connectors; transfer wires exactly and fully seat each plug
• After installation, restore power and follow any model-specific service sheet/configuration steps provided with the appliance
