1 Answer Gilbert, Based on this issue it does sound like the main control board would be the issue with the unit. Read More...
Mark September 17, 2017 for Model Number gss20iepcww Had defrost problem, top half of Evaporator coil frozen including thermostat and evaporator thermistor. I checked def. heater and it was good, but found Evaporator Thermistor & Bottom freezer thermistor way out of range. Replaced thermistors & thermostat plugged in fridge and Compressor won't run and neither will condenser fan run, but evaporator fan runs constantly. Tested board for Fan motors and the only test that failed was condenser fan motor J2 plug pins 3 & 5 I got 0.03 to 0.04. Neither my compressor or condenser fan will run. My compressor checked out good. Is the problem with the main board?
1 Answer Mark, Based on the information it does sound like the main control board will be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Robin August 23, 2017 for Model Number ge gsh25jstass I just purchased this mother board and replaced the old one, and afterwards it's blinking 0's on the display. Why is it doing this?
1 Answer Robin, If you are unable to get the control to respond then this would likely be caused by a faulty display board on the unit. Read More...

Kay August 17, 2017 for Model Number PSW26SGRBSS Mother board Wr55x10942?grey connector is stuck and cannot slide out Now matter how hard your try. Can wd40 be used to release it? Need to replace the mother board, the grey connector is the one the is stuck the rest were removed with no problems. Many thanks.
1 Answer Hello Kay! You'll want to try to use a pair of needle nose pliers or a flat blade screwdriver to try to pry or gain some leverage on the connector. You wouldn't want to spray any wd40 on your electrical board. Good luck! Read More...
Dean P. August 16, 2017 for Model Number PCF23MGWCCC My refrigerator cools and freezes just fine but I have no control over the settings because the control board on the front of the refrigerator does not light up and doesn't function at all.
1 Answer Hello Dean, If the wiring and connector at the door hinge look good, the issue will either be the display board WR55X10863 or the main board WR55X10942C. Read More...
Paul Hoffman August 07, 2017 for Model Number gts22khparbb - serial dh302601 The freezer in my fridge frosts up and the drain ices up. I cleaned out the drain line and ran bleach trough it to ensure no mold. I replaced the defrost timer and the freezer fan with no luck. I checked the defrost heater - it appears to be working intermittently. It was hot when I first took off the back freezer cover but was cold after I cleaned the drain tube. Reading the online repair hints it seems the control board might be bad. The problem is I cant find the board. There is no access panel on the back of the fridge as shown on Utube. Does this fridge have a control board? If not, do you have any idea what the problem is?
2 Answers Paul, Your top mount refrigerator Does Not have a control board. You have the "basic" controls, defrost timer, heater, thermostat and cold control and compressor. The defrost heater is only energized until the temperature is reached, this usually takes 12 to 15 minutes, the remainder of the defrost cycle time 12-15 minutes is to allow the defrost water to drain and evacuate the freezer compartment. Then the refrigerator has to run a total of 8 hours of compressor run time, before the defrost cycle occurs again. Now that you have the defrost drain system cleared and clean, you may want to give the refrigerator a few days(3 to 5) to operate and see if the frost or ice reappears on the freezer back wall. Make sure both the doors are closing and sealing properly as well. Read More...

2 Answers Paul, This unit does not have a control board on it. With the intermittent issue this would most likely be one of the defrost thermostats that is faulty. This has 2 of them which both are located on the right side of the evaporator and are in series with one another. The part number will be WR50X10025. Read More...
Brian August 05, 2017 for Model Number GSS25XSRESS I have a fridge that is freezing cold at the bottom and warm on the top shelf. The freezer has the same issue, top shelf is not freezing food. I had the evap fan replaced with no change at all. The fan still only runs sometimes, compressor is always running. I tested the J2 connector pins 3&8, they are at 12.9V DC, however, 3&4 only read 1.8V DC even after leaving both doors open for 5-10 minutes. If I unplug the fridge and re-plug it, sometimes the voltage will climb on 3&4 pins from 1.8V to 12.9V DC and the fan starts running. Once the fridge reaches temperature the fan won't come back on except for once in a blue moon, but it does randomly come on and operate as it should, just rarely. Should I gamble the main board cost?
1 Answer Brian, With having the fan already replaced then this will most likely be caused by the main control board for the unit. Read More...
D.S. August 04, 2017 for Model Number DSS25KGRCWW Two weeks ago, I discovered a thawed freezer with a back wall of solid ice. After thawing, and replacing the defrost heater, temp sensor, and defrost limiter thermostat, the unit appeared to work great, cycling through defrost with appropriate temperatures daily. One week later, however, the back wall is frozen, with food thawed again. I need to know whether one of the new parts is at fault, or if the main board needs to be replaced.
1 Answer Hello D.S., You will need to replace the control board WR55X10942C which controls the defrost on this design. Read More...
