How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP4695229 / 5303918523 Infinite Switch (Surface Element Control)

Went on different blogs and found similar issues I was having. Replacing the main board was the issue. Main board came in the mail after 4 days. Instruction was clear. Had to tip the refrigerator enough to get access to it since it was located at the left bottom. I got creative by putting my 10 lb exercise ball to prop it up. Undo a couple of screws, unplug to the old and plug to the new. Very simple install. 

The refregerator after rain storm got a message of power failure. I unplugged the fridge. Reconnected. It worked normal. I was happy. But after a out 6 hours the power failue message showex up with beeping. The wall outlet connection was fine. I unplugged power cord try connecting power. The power failure will show up with the display window and beep. I turn off beeping. The fridge will turn off on its own and restart by itself but the power failure message will beep. This about one minute cycle will continue unlimited number of times. Finally it will end up with CE error. The way out of that was unplug fridge wait a few minutes and plug back. This process some times will start fridge OK. Testing functions 33 power supply failed. Changing power supply board worked. It was not so hard. 

Remove lower vent only to find you need to raise The fridge enough to slide power board out one screw And pull straight out Clear instructions come with new board 

We ordered the control panel and it came next day. We installed it but the freezer wasn't working. My husband contacted customer service and they helped him find the correct part and we had it the next day. The second control panel seems to be working great! We put the front of the refrigerator on 2x4 ' s to lift it up enough to unscrew the old control panel. 

Brought the switch board only and the bad boy started right up with no problem. CE error cleared. Best way to do it is to lay the refrigerator on the floor and replace the board. Easier access and less headache. 

I googled the problem and found help from other people's story's and then order the part that solved there problem. We were on vacation when my neighbor told us the refrigerator had quit running. So I ordered the part, while away from home, not knowing for sure if the part I ordered would work. I tilted the refrig back an placed 2 2x4's under each front leg. The location of the board switch is left front under the refrig. I removed the old board switch and hooked up the replacement board switch following the included instructions that came with the new board switch. Took about 1/2 hour. Tilting the refrigerator back and having room under the refrig to work really helped. The only tools I used was a 1/4" nut driver.
