Don P Marlton , NJ February 01, 2015 Appliance: Model KENMOIRE 79578304804 Kenmore (lg) french door refrigerator completely died no cold no freezer no lights On Thursday I tried to set up appointment for Sears technician. The earliest possible was Tuesday (5 days later). It seemed strange that everything would stop working, including the lights. I went online and found several places that indicated it was probably the main circuit board. I went to AppiancePartsPros.com and found a replacement main circuit board for under $160 including overnight shipping. I felt that was a pretty safe risk compared to who knows how much for the technician and waiting five days. The website had a little video that convinced me the installation would be simple. On Friday morning I received the replacement board. There is a cover on the back of the refrigerator, held on with three screws. I removed them, unplugged eight connectors (all different, so they won't go back in the wrong place), pinched the four mounting pegs as shown in the video, and removed the old board. I snapped in the new board onto the pegs, plugged in the plugs, re-installed the cover, and plug the fridge into the wall. FIXED in fifteen minutes from the time the FedEx delivery person left the package!!!!

Traci P Page , AZ January 11, 2016 The refrigerator stopped cooling and the lights quit working at the same time We live in a very remote area and could not get a repairman to come take a look at the refrigerator. Fortunately, one of the repairman took the time to ask my husband what the fridge was/wasn't doing. He indicated to my husband that since it stopped cooling AND the lights quit working simultaneously, there was a very high probability that the "control board" was bad and that it was an easy fix, but the part may be pricey. He explained how/where to locate the control board and suggested a website for a video on how to install a new board. We purchased the replacement board from www.appliancepartspros.com for about $120 with shipping and received the part VERY quickly (about 3 days). It took my husband about 5 minutes to switch out the old control board for the new one and ....BOOM a perfectly working refridgerator. YAY!!! Thanks to a repairman who took pity on us and offered some helpful advice and AppliancePartsPros.com, we have a working refrigerator again.
