Steve for Model Number GS6SHEXNQ00

I pulled the door switch and found 110 vac on one terminal, voltage goes through switch, but doesn't go to module plug in ceiling of bow where Temp. Control Board plugs in. No clue how a wire in the fridge can just go bad. It all started when I opened the fridge, light flickered and heard what sounded like a relay clicking. Closed the door switch and it all stopped. Now no lights come on when you open the door, but fridge seems to be operating properly. Now I'm really confused.

Answer

Steve, You will want to check at the main control board on the P2 connector pin 3 to ground and to neutral to see if you have voltage. It sounds like the problem may be in the control board WPW10135090. If no power then the control board is defective and needs to be replaced. Otherwise it would be a wiring issue.
