Customer Questions and Answers for Board Asm Main Contro by Ge

Hello Frank, You will need to verify the compressor and the fans are running. If the compressor is not running, you will need to verify voltage to the overload WR08X10022 and start relay WR07X10057. Removing the start relay from the side of the compressor and shaking it is the best test for the start relay. If it rattles, it has failed.

Bill, The control board shorting in rapid succession would be caused by a dead short somewhere in the wiring of the unit. You will have to trace the wires and see where the short is occurring.

Jerry, The main board that shows for your unit would be part number WR55X11130.

Hello Billy. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

Bruce, You will want to check the condenser fan motor to make sure that it is running. Make sure that the condenser coils at the top are clean. You will want to test the thermistors in the unit. The resistance of the thermistors should be 42.2k ohms at 0 degrees, 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at room temp of 77 degrees. If not within range then replace the thermistor.

John, The issue that you are having with the unit getting down to 31 degrees in the refrigerator compartment would be more likely a issue with the damper or a temperature sensor and for the freezer possibly a faulty sensor.

Rob, There are a few more components to check, since the issue is in the fresh food compartment, you've solved some of the problem. There is a TOD device WR50X10035, is located on the back wall of the fresh food compartment,at the base of the light tower. If the TOD has an open circuit, the lights won't illuminate. Two re-settable, 2-amp circuit breakers are located on the front of the transformer housing. Should a circuit breaker trip (open), it will open the transformer circuit it is associated with (freezer compartment or fresh food compartment), disabling that transformer and stopping voltage output to the interior lights. Transformers WR62X10029 Power is supplied to all interior lighting by 2 transformers. One transformer is used for each compartment. The transformers supply low voltage power to the lights by converting 120 VAC into 12 VAC. The transformers are located in a housing under the center of the refrigerator. The housing is accessible from the front of the refrigerator. To access the transformers, remove the 1/4-in hex head screws (6) that hold the housing in place. Since you've replaced the door switch, you'll need to check these other components to determine the issue.

Hello Ron. On the instruction sheet sent with the board, there is a list of the serial numbers affected by this. You willl need to look at the list and your serial number to determine if yours is in this list.

Hello Russell, This problem can be in the dispense area or in the main control. I was going to look at the configuration but could not without a model number. I would open the dispense area and if there is a micro switch that is activated by the dispense paddle, check for it being sticky. This occurs from dispensing ice into a glass of sticky drink such as tea, kool aid, coke, etc. The problem is caused by the splash getting into the switches. If you would like more specifics, please re-post with your model number from the I.D. tag on the unit.

Mike, If you do not have any display on your control board then you will want to check to make sure that the harness from the door to the cabinet does not have any loose or broken wires. If the wiring checks ok then you would want to replace the main control board.
