Frigidaire 5303918558 Switch Board (Control Panel) OEM Part

I replaced the main control board. Initially I thought the problem might be the touchpad / interface on the freezer door. Information on this site and others led me to the main control board at the bottom of the frig. I ordered both parts, and decided to replace the control board first.Turned out to be a good call. The control board came with an instruction sheet that really didn't have much information. New jumper cables were required to match the new board to the unit. Took a bit of staring to match up the connectors - which ends to the unit wiring harness, which ends to the board - but they did all match up. The unit worked properly - all functions and displays - when powered up. Lastly, the sheet says "fold the jumper cables into the box and reinstall". Fitting the cables and bulky connectors back into the box so it would fit back into its little compartment was the most challenging part of the job. Lots of cables and connector blocks into a little compartment with a circuit board full of protruding (and delicate) relays, capacitors, etc. After trying a few configurations I managed to squeeze everything in and get the box reinstalled. I opened up the rear of the unit to check that I had gotten the rear flange of the box into its correct channel because it was difficult if not impossible to see from the front without putting the refrigerator up on blocks. I guess I didn't damage anything because the unit worked. Success. Much money saved. Difficult but possible. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros.

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).

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.

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,

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!
