Ge WR49X10152 Refrigerator Main Control Board OEM Part

In the past the temperature would change from one day to the next, remain constant for weeks then start rising again. Would unplug for 5 – 10 min and adjust temp and would work fine. Now Refrigerator compressor will not shut off (has been running for the last 3 days) temps are 26F on freezer side and 43F on food compartment side. Checked evaporator and it has a great deal of frost on it but not frozen. Checked for continuity on the defroster heater and thermostat by going through the motherboard they both have continuity. Also checked the thermister it measured about 20 ohms. Pulled the defroster heater just to make sure it had continuity it checked ok. Asked Appliance Parts Pro this question; I think I’ve covered all the bases but my dilemma is I want to make sure that I need a new motherboard WR49X10152 before proceeding. What is your professional opinion? Joe from Appliance Parts Pro followed up with some additional possible areas to check. I did purchase a new mother board from appliance parts pro on Monday arrived Wed and installed it already. I t appears that did the trick, motors not running on high anymore compressor is cycling and food compartment fan runs at low speed and temp is remaining constant. I will cross my fingers and hope that everything is working properly (only time will tell). Tools required: Nut driver, screw driver, long nose pliers and multi meter. Trouble shooting/repair approx. 1 hr. Replacement of mother board took less than 10 min. Great videos on the internet to assist in repairs. Thanks Joe, for the follow up and the manual

Well for one thing, never buy a GE Profile what a pile of junk. My evaporator inside refrigerator at bottom was freezing up. Replaced Defrost thermostat in freezer compartment and main control board at rear . Also checked Defrost heater that is on bottom of evaporator in freezer section it checked out ok. This is the second main board in six years, lucky this GE Profile side by side was included with my house when I purchased it other wise I will never purchase GE. Kenmore for ever.

Replaced motherboard. The new motherboard needed to learn my fridge, I believe it is called "fuzzy logic". It took at least 4 days before it began to control the temperature to my set point. Its been working great since for the last several months.

This was an easy fix as a single woman I have become very handy in repair work around the house. This job was easy! Remove a few screws and unplug the board and plug in the new one. My problem is fixed and I feel great that I didn't need to call a repair man for such a simple job! Thanks
