Joe for Model Number LGHC2342LF0

My user interface was showing the temp on the fridge side to be 58*, but the temp inside the fridge unit was 34* and freezing food. The freezer side worked fine. I took the top hinge cover off to inspect wiring, and the user interface went dead and the fridge light went dark, and the fridge stopped working. The freezer light remained on, but it failed to keep cool as well. What steps do I need to take to determine if it's a main board or user interface that's bad?

1 Answer

Joe, based on the information provided, it sounds like there is a shorted wire (a shorted wire can cause multiple components to potentially fail). The wiring at the hinge will need to be inspected for any bare spots that may have grounded out. The main control 5304499075 can be tested for voltage to identify if it is sending 12VDC to the user interface 241973711. At the main control connection J9A, the red probe of a meter would be placed at pin 1 while the black probe is placed at pin 3. If there is not 12VDC, the main control has failed. If there is proper voltage, and there was not a shorted wire at the hinge section, the next step would be to test the user interface for incoming 12VDC. At connection J2 of the user interface, there should be 12VDC with the red probe at pin 1 and the black probe at pin 3. If there is, the user interface has failed and may be causing the main control to be shut down.

Hello Glenn, the auger motor turns one direction for either cube or crushed. The difference is a solenoid 241675704 back by the auger motor housing pulls up on a rod from the rear of the ice bin to release a gate in the front of the ice bin crusher assembly to allow cubes to bypass the crusher. If the solenoid is stuck or failed in the up postion you would only get cubes , no crushed.l

John, you will have to change out the switch membrane that is adhered to the dispenser face. The old membrane will need to be peeled off and the new one placed on the same plastic housing face. The whole dispenser face can be removed from the dispenser housing to access the control board where the ribbons are attached to the board.

Giovanni, You will want to try to connect the board without the harness attached to that came with the unit. If it will not work this way then you may have received a faulty control board.

Pamela, For this issue you would just need to replace the light bulb that is burnt out. The part number for the bulb is 241552802.

Gunta for Model Number Frigidaire FGHC2342LF3

My product is Frigidaire FGHC2342LF3, purchased in 2012 About 2 weeks ago User Interface's display went blank and consequently dispenser stopped working as well. It has occasional beeps and sometimes displays T 0 and 37 for from a few sec to up 40 sec. On Sunday we flipped circuit breaker, waited 20 min, and turned on, no changes but fridge stopped working later Sunday night. I had technician over and he check wiring and was able to get fridge to work again for the time being (both sides fridge and freezer)and one time display was on for almost a minute and showed error code SY CF which I saw sometimes before Technician said that I'll need the whole User interface but I showed him that part supliers even do not sell a whole piece and I guess that display still is good, as it shows occasionally T and I was able to switch water, cube, and crush buttons and I do not need that plastic frame, etc. My guess by the error code was electronic control board ( main control board or door control board?) as wiring did not have problem. but then I saw also and Switch assembly. fridge is still beeping not all the time but occasionally -- short beeps without digits displayed or longer beeps with 0 and 37 displayed and after that again error code SY CF. I hope that I described it pretty thoroughly and you will be able to tell me the part i need. Thank you for your time. Gunta

1 Answer

Gunta, The issue with the SY CF would be that the condenser fan has a error where it is not working. You will want to double check the error and make sure that it is not a SY CE. If it is a SY CE error code then this is a communication error between the user interface and the main control board. With all that is going on with the unit it sounds like it would be more likely that the main control board is at fault and the part number for the board is [PA5957490].

Hello Lou, The part that you would need to replace is the switch assembly 242167017. This is a peel and stick. You remove the old one and get as much of the glue off of the panel and stick the new one on.

Bob for Model Number LGHC2342LF2

Refrigerator is little over 1 year old. The fresh food section temperature fluctuates (mostly lower, down to 23F). The temperature display readings are not accurate: +(10-26)degrees above actual temp. Done: 1. The Service Diagnostics Mode shows everything in order: damper door; thermistors; evaporator fan). 2. Checked thermistor readings 5-10% diff IAW the Resistance Chart.3. Replaced the switch control board #241973702 (your web got the wrong #241973817) and nothing's changed, the same story. Any thoughts?

1 Answer

Hi Bob. The damper part # 241853801 regulates the freezer air into the fresh food. As well the return air vent part behind the crisper drawers on the center mullion divider. Remove the drawers and use a screwdriver to see if the air vent is open and not clogged in any way. Then the refrigerator damper is motor controlled, if it is stuck open then it will have the issue you have. Thank You.
