Customer Questions and Answers for Main Power Dispenser Control Board by Frigidaire

Odette, To replace the main dispenser power board you will remove the drip tray from the dispenser and remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the dispenser. Pull out a little and lift the dispenser cover off. Once you have the dispenser cover off you will disconnect the ribbon harness from the control board. With the unit unplugged from the wall you will remove the old board and install the new control board.

Hello Terry. It could be the ribbon cable. First check the wires at the hinge of the freezer door and make sure the connections are good and there are no broken wires. If the wires are good, check the ribbon cable. If it is good, then it is the control board 241708306.

Brian, You will want to check the connector at either the top or bottom freezer door to make sure that the harness is connected. Also check to make sure that there are no broken or loose wires. This would be the most common reason for no dispenser operation. If that checks ok then most likely the dispenser power board would most likely be the cause.

Hello Bonnie. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in 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

Claence, On this issue you either have a stuck I/m water valve 242252702 or the diode 5303918287 is bad and would need to be replaced.

Buford, The defrost control is a circuit located inside the "genesis" control 5303918341 inside the refrigerator compartment. The dispenser control board 241708202 has nothing to do with the operation of the refrigerator. To access The ELECTRONIC control is located in the housing, mounted in the food compartment along with the light and damper assembly. To remove the Control Housing Assembly, remove the three screws across the front control box and the two screws located in the rear control box. After removing cover over water line on front filter models, remove the screw from the back of the control box. The 2 housings will separate at the left back of the front housing by sliding the rear housing to the right until the buttons line up with the larger hole in the slots. The Control is mounted on the left and it controls the cycling of the compressor, condenser fan motor, damper motor, and evaporator fan motor, as well as the defrost cycle.

Hello Rich. Make sure the filter is good, and the water pressure coming to the unit is good.

Tom, Pull the icemaker and check to make sure that the fill tube is not clogged. If not clogged then the icemaker would be the issue and would need to be replaced.

James, You will want to pull the ice bin out and check the opening in the auger motor housing. There is a solenoid in there that either may be stuck in the up position or the solenoid 241675704 is broken.

Hello Cheryl. 241708202 is the power board for the dispenser on the unit.
