This electronic control board replaces the appliance's main control module to restore reliable cycle control and user-interface functions. It manages timing, sensor inputs, and commands so the appliance operates as intended. What it does:

• Receives inputs from buttons/sensors and directs motors, valves, and heaters
• Controls cycle timing, displays, and program selection
• Common symptoms: no display or erratic displays, touchpad/buttons not working, or cycles that stop or won't advance

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid contact with circuit traces
• Verify connectors seat fully and match original harness orientation

Defrost timer that advances the refrigerator's defrost cycle at roughly six-hour intervals to help prevent excessive frost buildup and keep cooling consistent. Replaces a failed timer to restore regular defrost scheduling. What it does:

• Advances the defrost cycle so the heater can melt frost from the evaporator on a timed schedule.
• Helps prevent heavy ice buildup that can reduce airflow and cooling performance.
• Common symptoms of a failing timer: excessive frost or ice accumulation, compressor running constantly, or inconsistent temperatures.
• Works with mechanical defrost systems to alternate between cooling and defrost intervals.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle connectors and wiring carefully; ensure all terminals are fully seated.
• Mounting hardware and connector types can vary by model—retain original fasteners and note wiring positions before removal.

This fountain switch controls the refrigerator dispenser's user-activated circuit so the dispenser responds when the lever or pad is pressed. Replaces a worn or failed dispenser switch to restore normal dispenser control. What it does:

• Acts as the user-activated switch for the water/ice dispenser circuit
• Allows the dispenser to energize the valve or auger motor when pressed
• Commonly replaced when dispenser fails to respond or is intermittent
• Helps stop unexpected dispenser activation due to a stuck switch

• One fountain switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing the dispenser/control panel; handle plastic trim carefully
• Avoid pulling on wires; disconnect connectors by their housings, not the wires

This is a refrigerator main control board. It manages and monitors the temperature settings of the appliance, including defrosting and cooling times. If the main control board is damaged or no longer working, the refrigerator or freezer could become too warm or cool, stop defrosting, or no longer start. In this situation, the part will need to be replaced.The only tool needed to replace the main control board is a flat blade screwdriver. First, make sure the refrigerator is unplugged to avoid it coming on during the replacement process. Next, two screws should be removed where the door closes before the light shield is taken off by pushing it to the back of the appliance. Find the access panel holding the main control board and apply pressure to pull it away. Free the pegs and move the hinges toward the front. Finally, install the connectors and take out the part before replacing it with a new component.This main control board is designed as an OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as a single component and fits several models of refrigerators from Ikea, Maytag, and Whirlpool.
