This electronic controller board manages key refrigeration functions and defrost routines so your appliance maintains proper temperatures. Replacing a failed board can restore automatic operation when cooling becomes erratic or frost buildup starts affecting performance.

• Governs programmed cooling and defrost cycles to help prevent frost accumulation and temperature swings
• Sends power to components per the control program, enabling fans, compressor, and heaters to run at the right time
• Typical failure signs: heavy frost on the evaporator, warm or no-cool conditions, nonstop running or short cycling, unresponsive controls
• May show visible damage such as burnt spots or a burnt odor on the board

• Disconnect power before servicing; use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges
• Access location varies by model; photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Mount securely and ensure all harnesses are fully seated; avoid pinching wires during reassembly
• If frost was present, fully defrost the evaporator after installation and allow temperatures to stabilize after restoring power
