This controller is the refrigerator's electronic brain, managing cooling and defrost operations to keep temperatures stable. Replacing a failed board restores reliable compressor, fan, and defrost control when cooling becomes erratic.

  • Regulates compressor and evaporator fan operation to maintain set temperatures
  • Manages the defrost cycle to prevent frost/ice buildup on the evaporator
  • Coordinates inputs from sensors/switches for consistent, efficient cooling
  • Common failure symptoms include poor or intermittent cooling, heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator, constant running or short-cycling, or failure to start
What's included: One electronic control board Installation notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing and use ESD precautions when handling electronics
  • Access the control location (typically in the control housing or rear compartment) and photograph wiring for reference
  • Transfer connectors one at a time to the new board; ensure all plugs are fully seated and harnesses are routed safely
  • Reassemble panels, restore power, and verify normal compressor/fan operation

Steve, You may need a new control 297282800 But first do the basic checks, Door closes and seals properly, freezer is level, interior light goes out when the door is closed. Then check and clean the area behind, under and the back and sides,( Be careful with the coils on the back of the unit) If all's OK, replace the control.

Garland, With the fan and compressor not running, it sounds like the unit may not have come out of the defrost which is controlled by the control board. The part number you will need is 297370600.

Frank for Model Number LFFU14F5HWC

I ask a question earlier today, but gave you the wrong model #. I need an answer to the same question, but for this model # LFFU14F5HWC. Freezer would run Ok for a while, then the hi temp alarm was sounding, & the compressor was not running. Jarring the freezer would start the compressor, & it would run for a while again. Now jarring the freezer does not start the compressor. I don't get a voltage reading from the plug that connects to the compressor controller. What could the problem be? Thanks for your help.

Hello Brain. The next step is the thermistor 297018400 and if it is good, then you would need to replace the control in the unit.

Hello Ken, If the unit is running constantly then you would want to check to make sure that the unit is defrosting. Look at the back wall of the lower freezer and look for frost build up. If there is frost build up then you are having a defrost issue and would need to take the lower cover off and check for impacted coils. Coils impacted you will want to check the defrost thermostat and defrost heater for continuity. If they do not have continuity then you would need to replace component that is bad. If they check ok then you would want to replace the controller. If the coils are not impacted then you would want to check to make sure that there is a frost pattern. If no frost pattern or only partial frost pattern then you have sealed system issue. If the frost pattern is good then you would want to check the thermistor for resistance. Resistance should be 10k at 77 degrees. 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
