Questions & Answers

For Ge Refrigerator Main Control Board (Part Number: OEM21564309)

Charles B. for Model Number HSS25GFPJWW

On our GE side by side refrigerator, the ice maker works great and fills the ice bucket with ease. What does not work is the ice dispenser feature in the door. (As near as I can tell the auger does not go around). Also the water dispenser in the door for filling glasses with water does not work. (This all happened at the same time). At some point before this happened, all the ice froze together when we did not notice it, and we continued to try the ice dispenser activator. Did we burn out the motor that runs the auger? Even if we did burn that motor out, it should not have affected the water dispenser in the door. Did we burn out something in the main control board? Thanks

Hello Charles, It sounds like the ice door may not be closing completely. This would cause frost to form on the dispenser motor and could also cause the dispense tube to freeze. WR62X10055 is the first suspect. You should also install a water tube heater WR49X10173.

Doug, If it is the refrigerator section that the temperature is getting too cold then you will want to check the damper assembly to make sure that the door is not broken. If the door is broken you will want to replace part number WR49X10091.

Steve, The interior lights are a direct circuit to the line cord, so as long as there's power to the refrigerator they should work. The Brown wire on the J11 terminal of the main control is the 120 VAC power into the control. You'll need to use a meter and check for the voltage on the wire terminal. It isn't likely that two different control boards would be defective, but it is possible. you'll need to get the wiring diagram and check for voltages in and out of the control board. Hopefully it's just a loose or broken brown wire.

Rick, If the whining noise is coming from the evaporator fan then yes it should stop the fan from whining. If the noise is coming from the compressor then it may be considered a normal noise.

Sally, With the clicking noise at the rate of turning a light switch on and off and the motors are not running and compressor not running then the issue would be with the main control board WR55X10942C.

Manni, You will want to check to see if there is power going to the compressor by testing the wires that go to the overload and relay for 120 vac. If there is 120 vac there then most likely the relay is faulty and you would want to replace it. If there is no power to the relay then the issue would most likely be the control board.

Hello Tulio. Sorry, these 2 parts do not match. You model may be an international model and we do not offer parts for those.

Hello David. That is usually a sign of a broken compressor spring. The only way to repair that is to replace the compressor if the noise is from the compressor.

Paul, This unit does not use a defrost timer but does have a main control board in which this is most likely the issue with the unit shutting off for 24 hours every couple of weeks.
