Ge WR55X11098C Pwb Pcb Power Control Board Assembly OEM Part

First I called the local retailer to ask about a non-warranty service. Minimum $100 charge. Figured I would take a shot at the repair as I had fixed the fridge once before. I used a digital thermometer to verify that the temperature in the ice maker compartment was at the right temperature. I put the ice maker in diagnostic mode to eject the ice that was sitting in the ice tray (turn off and on and then push the ice full lever three times). Ice was successfully ejected. Sometimes the ice was only partially frozen. Also tried running a hairdryer on hot to thaw any blockage in the air conduit to the ice maker compartment. It seemed like things were just working marginally. So it wasn't the ice maker motor, and changing the temperature sensor did not seem like a solution either. So I took an educated guess that something was marginal with the controller board. FYI, this is my second controller board for this fridge now going on 10 years old. I had heard some fan motor rev'ing sounds earlier in the year. That sound went away which meant either it got better or failed completely. Note that I had the same problem with the previous controller board that I had replaced in this fridge about 5 years ago. I ordered the replacement board from AppliancePartsPros - they offered a competitive price. Note - some other vendor sites showed significantly lower-priced alternatives that turned out to be not for my model - be careful. Appliance Parts Pros shipment came in a couple of days. I changed the controller board - took about 15 minutes. The ice maker is now working like new.

I replaced the control board myself. I was told by the repair guy that the part was $550 and would take two weeks to receive because there was a back order on this part. I ordered this part from you and had it overnighted for a total of $188 including overnight shipping. The delivery was so fast I didn't even have to empty my freezer! It only took me ten minuets to replace! This company is as good as it gets folks. Thank you! John.

Swapped out the main control board.

New mother board

I called GE for repair and they told me the earliest they could repair the refrigerator would be a week away. It was dead, no lights or sounds. I looked online for hints and found that there are only a couple of items that would cause it to be totally dead. The wall outlet was working, the line cord to the fridge had 120 volts at the end. So I followed the wires to the Mainboard and found it was getting 120 volts at the power input to the board. So I took a shot and ordered the board. It was here the next day. Unplugged the fridge and carefully replaced it and poof all is well. Oh BTW, vacuum out the air intake around the condenser coil. It was clogged with dust.
