Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Control Board by Frigidaire

Hello Leanna, the beeping is from the High Temp Alert circuit, which is normal if the ref is not cooling. You would need to check if the compressor is running, the condenser fan next to it is on the same circuit as the compressor, also if the freezer evap fan is running.

William, the damper 242303001 not closing can be caused by the main control A01078804 not sending voltage due to the thermistors 242278801 not registering properly. It would be recommended that the damper is tested to identify if it is sent 120VAC by the main control at the connection J1 pin 5 when the unit is placed in a test mode. It would also be recommended that the refrigerator sensor is tested for resistance and it should measure 26.04KO at 40°F, 28.21KO at 37°F, and 30.74KO at 34°F for the refrigerator thermistor.

Norma, the condenser coils will need to be inspected to ensure that they are clean. From there, the evaporator will need to be inspected for a frost pattern. There should be a light coat of frost on all of the evaporator coils if the compressor has been operating for an hour. If there is not a light coat of frost on all of the evaporator coils, there is a sealed system issue that would require an HVAC certified technician.

Dave, Test the defrost thermostat to make sure that it is not faulty and if the thermostat has continuity then the defrost control will be the issue which is built into the control A01078804.

Bret, as the lights, dispenser interface, and main control operate independently of each other, you may want to inspect the wiring going from the outlet to the controls as the lights directly receive 120VAC from the outlet through the door switch. While the temperature control A01078804 does control temperature, it would not stop voltage from going to the lights or the dispenser. It is possible that a power surge can cause a domino effect, and voltage checks at the temp control and the dispenser control can identify if there are any wiring problems up to each part.

Matt, you may want to check the thermistor assembly 242278801 for proper resistance in comparison to actual temperature. From there you would do a voltage check from the main control. At connection J1 pin 4 to pin 1 there should be 120VAC going to the evaporator fan if the temperature is too high. If the voltage is not there, and the thermistors check good, then the main control A01078804 would be the issue.

Michael, Voltage is routed thru the dispenser control board after the actuator pad is depressed so you could have a possible short in the board if you're sure the dispenser is causing the problem. Also, check and make sure your ice maker is not overfilling and leaking out thru the ice flapper door.

Jim, For this issue the damper would most likely be the cause for this issue which is part number 241600906.

Bubbac, It would be recommended to check to make sure that the icemaker is not getting too much water in it as this sounds like what the issue may be. The water valve may not be closing off all the way allowing water into the icemaker and the heater is not able to come on due to too much water. The icemaker does not operate off a control board.

Glen, You will want to check the switch for the dispenser to make sure that it is good. Also check to make sure that the lock is not on which would also cause this issue. Check the door switch for the unit make sure that it is not bad because it could also cause this type of issue.
