Ge WR55X10956 Refrigerator Main Control Board OEM Part

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. Joan

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.

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.

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.

Replace the mother board. Took nothing to do. Pull fridge from wall. Unplug. Unscrew plate at back of fridge that covers mother board. Take pic with phone to make sure I remember where wire hookups whet back to before unplugging them. Unplugged all the wire harnesses. Plug board out. Replaced harnesses. Plugged fridge back in and turn fridge on to be sure everything worked. It did. Screwed plate back over mother board. Done!
