Customer Questions and Answers for Pcb Main Power Control Board Assembly by Frigidaire

Hello Jimmy. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

John, You'll need to check the refrigerator door light switch, and or voltage (120 VAC) to the control board from the door switch ( yellow/black wire). When the fridge door is open it supplies voltage to the control board, which causes the display to light. Voltage on the wire, indicates a faulty control board, no voltage indicates a door switch or wiring issue.

Rona, Yes, the first thing to check, is the wiring and the main power board 241511102 located on the bottom of the refrigerator, behind the kickplate grille. It will be a bit difficult to get at, you may have to raise the front of the fridge to remove the mounting screws and remove the mounting plate to slide the control box out.

Hello Rona. Test for power coming from the main control board. If there is no power coming out, but power is coming into the board, you will need to order and replace the board 241511102 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Audrey, The first thing you need to do is get behind the unit and remove the bottom cover to access the compressor. The compressor is probably not running. If I am correct, unplug the unit and remove the start device 297237702, (electrical thingy on the side of the compressor that the wires go to), and shake it. If it rattles, you have located your problem. As per the manufacturer you must also order wire harness connector part number 297177300 to be able to install the relay.

Hello Adolphus. Try resetting the control board by unplugging the unit for about 15 minutes. If the issue continues, you will need to replace the main power board 241511102 in the unit.

Bill, The main power board is located on the left hand side of the refrigerator, behind the kickplate panel on the front of the fridge. Once you find it and remove the one mounting screw, you'll be OK. Have you checked the refrigerator light door switch for proper circuitry, yet ? Thanks and Good Luck
