Joan S Palm Harbor , FL November 03, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator PSDF3YGXBFWW Our refrigerator would not hold the correct/ default temperatures for the freezer and the refrigerator so we opted to replace the mother board I am a 76 year old woman and hesitated to tackle the job. But my son sent me a Utube video "how to replace the board," and I was able to replace it, surprisingly, quite easily. I could have done it in a shorter period of time, if I had not been challenged with these arthritic hands and fingers. The refrigerator is now holding the temperatures quite nicely.

Robert B Morton Grove , IL August 26, 2014 Held the defrost cycle too long ice in the ice maker was melting I removed the main board cover and took a couple pictures of the connections with my cell phone. Then simply removed the connections and reinstalled the new board and reconnected the wires. So far this fix seems to have done the trick.

Rick W Wake Forest , NC December 18, 2014 Ice melting randomly Change the control board in 10 mins. I did appreciate the fact that whe the board did match the part number listed on the back of the fridge it was easy to look at your website and see the board your website recomender was actually a direct replacement for the original.

Nicholas S West Hempstead , NY October 06, 2018 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator PFCF1NFXCBB Not cooling both sections Even though I tested the mother board and compressor and came to the conclusion of the inverter being the culprit I opted to order both board and inverter and changed the 2. Install was easy. The inverter required one of the adapters included. Just pay attention when disconnecting the plugs from the board make sure everything goes in the exact same location they came from, or you'll have trouble. Everything works perfectly. Couldn't ask for an easier repair especially when fridges cost as much as they do. For 300 and some change I got my frig back. Fyi if you don't already have a surge outlet for your appliance I strongly recommend replacing your your existing outlet for a surge type or add one on they sell them in most big name electronic stores or online.
