Rod K La Crescenta , CA September 11, 2017 Refrigerator would not defrost I measured the continuity of the defrost heater element and the thermostat and they were both good. This only left the main control board. I ordered all three because it was only a matter of time before either the heating element or thermostat went bad. I only changed out the control board and now have the other parts on hand for an immediate fix in the future. Appliance pros were awesome. I paid just a little more for the faster shipping and got the parts the next day even though I expected 2 day minimum. The website is great. Plug in your model number and it will tell you part compatibility and search out for all compatible parts. Awesome feature. Put a couple of 2x4s under the refrigerator to elevate it and make it easier to get the control board out. I used a crowbar to lift the refrigerator to place the 2x4s. Defrost problem fixed !

Cecille N La Puente , CA December 26, 2017 Sy ce show on display panel and water valve inlet Unplug power cord of appliance, make sure no access for kids to reach. Removed kick panel on the front, reach the gray box. Make sure to use 1/4 socket that holds the box to the metal bracket. Carefully slide forward. Make sure it does not damage the cord behind it. Take a picture before you unplug the cord, press the tab and pull straight. Replace with new main control board. On the water valve inlet, make water line is shut off just on the sink or where ever your water source for the fridge. Take a picture before you dismantle the replacement water valve inlet. Just be care not to damage the hoses. Grab a good cutter to use. Always follow safety tips. Good luck, you can do it too to avoid costly labor repair.
