Do-It-Yourself Story

Well, it took 2 tries and 3 ordered parts (one returned) to complete the repair. Since the display was not working, and I learned of a processor behind the control board, I started there by ordering a new display with a control board. That had NO effect on the problem. My brother stopped by, and informed me that there was the main control board, and that would be the problem. In ordering the main control board, I accidentally ordered the box that the main control board "lives" in. I returned that and ordered the main control board. When the new control board was installed, I was able to re-program (easy with YouTube video) the board, and the refrigerator immediately came back to life. I only wish that there were some way to know WHICH control board is needed before ordering. The symptoms are the same for both! I advise trying the main board first if you have the symptoms. It is easier to install, and with more operating parts it is more likely to fail.
