This electronic control is the main logic board that governs refrigerator functions, providing reliable command and coordination of cooling, defrost, and user-interface operations to restore normal appliance behavior. What it does:

• Manages compressor, fans, and defrost cycles so the refrigerator maintains expected cooling performance
• Controls display and touchpad responses for user input and status readouts
• Regulates timed functions like automatic defrost to prevent frost build-up
• Can resolve symptoms such as unresponsive controls, incorrect temperature behavior, intermittent cooling, or lights/display not working

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; use an anti-static wrist strap if available
• Installation typically requires removing the control housing or console; keep screws and fasteners organized

This molded air duct guides cold air from the evaporator into the refrigerator/freezer compartments to help maintain even cooling and proper airflow. A direct-fit replacement that restores designed air distribution. What it does:

• Channels cold air from the evaporator to the cabinet to reduce warm spots and uneven cooling.
• Helps direct airflow to temperature sensors and compartments for consistent performance.
• Prevents air leaks and misdirected airflow that can cause frost buildup or fluctuating temps.
• Fits into the evaporator assembly area and mates with existing cabinet openings.

• One air duct

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove interior panels or evaporator cover to access the duct; keep fasteners for reassembly.
• Handle the duct carefully to avoid cracking the plastic; ensure clips/ tabs fully engage on reinstall.
• If other airflow components are damaged, inspect and replace as needed for proper operation.

This electronic control is the main control board that manages your appliance's functions, cycles, and user interface so the unit responds correctly to settings and commands. Replaces a failed or malfunctioning control board to restore normal operation. What it does:

• Regulates and sequences appliance cycles and timing for proper operation
• Interfaces with the control panel and display to process user inputs
• Detects and communicates error conditions that can pause or stop cycles
• Commonly needed when the display is blank, controls are unresponsive, or cycles won't start

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Handle the board carefully; avoid static discharge and contact with components
• Replace with the exact part number; secure connectors and mounting hardware firmly
