How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP4979888 / 5303918558 Switch Board (Control Panel)

Symptoms: CE displayed, refrigerator inside light out, no cold air going to refrigerator, compressor cycling on an off; Ordered main power board from AppliancePartsPros. Board arrived next day. It comes with a new wiring harness and tray housing. Watched YouTube video that showed how to install the board. Board goes under refer on left side under freezer. Had to straighten the bottom metal plate (it was bent) to allow the board (and tray housing) to slide out. Only one screw to remove that holds the tray in place. New board may not look exactly like the old one, but the functionality is the same. New wiring harness made it easy to hook up the new board; slid the new board and housing back in. That fixed the problem. Approx. one hour fix. NOTE: check your refer model number CAREFULLY before you order (use the compatibility check feature on the web site). 

First we called a repair man ,he was to busy ,told we had to wait 2 weeks !! (to long) So we ordered the part .. Our wonderful neighbor came over to assist ..We Unplugged fridge, rolled away from the wall Put a couple thick/.heavy pieces of wood under the front of fridge , This was to allow us to get to the little teeney grey box underneath the fridge. Loosened the screw holding the box in place .. Pulled out the box then unplugged all the attached plugs ,then re attached the new plugs that came with the new box, ,plugged the baby back in !! Bingo She started to purr again .. .. Was told if a repairman man was called to fix our problem? The cost would be a whopping $ 695.00 parts & labor ! ,So that's when we decided to seek out our own fix.. Works like a charm ,Fridge was only 5 yrs old Was an Electrolux side by side w/.ice maker and all the bells & whistles, Now shes like brand new again! Thanks to appliance pros... and a few minutes of our time along with a wonderful neighbors guideance and muscle power....also used you-tube that shows us "the how to" fix fridge, 

Replaced the control board, 3 caps were blown from a power outage during a storm. The ice machine still doesn't work but the water dispenser is working again. I saved hundreds of dollars doing it myself thanks for the help. 

Thanks to Appliance Parts Pros for the great information on your website! From the shared customer experiences we were able to identify the problem with our Electrolux refrigerator. 

Based on YouTube video and posts from other people with same problem, the problem appeared to be the main circuit board located in a removable compartment on the bottom of the refrigerator. Ordered replacement board and installed. Installation was easy, only two screws and snap on connectors. Customer service specialist, " Conicia' (not sure about name spelling) was very helpful. Thanks! 

I did exactly what many on the site indicated to do. I located the circuit board underneath the freezer door. Removed the one screw and made all the necessary connections from the old board to the new one. Super easy fix. Especially after the manufacturer stated they did not have the part or couldn't get one for another 20 days. 

Ordered part took two days to ship tilted fridge back placed 4x4's blocks under front of fridge took 10 min. to change part. plugged it in and is running fine 

After checking all the possible issues I narrowed it down to the control module, about 90% sure anyway. Ordered the part, installed it in 15 minutes by removing just one screw. The directions it came with were minimal but sufficient. It now runs just great. Instead of paying to haul it away, we will now sell it for $500-$600. 

After a thinking it was the front touch sensitive control board, research through Appliancepartspros.com suggested the culprit may be the board-switch. Part arrived 2 days later as advertised. Opened the box and at first it looked a bit overwhelming, patch cords, jumpers etc.. After studying it for a few minutes the change over went very smoothly, there was a lot of thought went into the kit, cables were all perfect length, connectors all fit perfectly. 20 minutes later all done, and the Fridge is working perfectly. Thanks AppliancePartsPro.com you folks are GREAT.. 

The module I ordered from you fixed it. The new harness extra plugs filled the module box.
