Carlos December 29, 2014 for Model Number GB2FHDXWS04 The freezer is cold but the refrigerator keeps warm. According to a technician everything was working perfectly but the control board which I bought a few days ago, I installed and programed without problems but the issue persist. What could the problem be?
1 Answer Carlos, You will want to check the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If there is no continuity then the part is bad and would need replaced. Also check the damper in the unit and make sure that the damper is opening and closing and check to make sure that the evaporator fan motor is running. Read More...
Chris September 22, 2014 Hi. My refrigerator seems like it is always running. The fridge side is always way too cold and freezes something's. I've replaced the control board to no avail. Is there something else that it could be? I do not have any major icing issues just little frosting from always running. My model number is EB2SHKXVQ02. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Chris. It sounds like the damper WPW10196393 may be bad and need to be replaced. Check and see if the door opens and closes. If not, it is bad on the unit. Read More...
Richard September 11, 2014 for Model Number giofsaxvy08 How do I program The W10503278 Control Board after replacement?
1 Answer Hello Richard. Programming Mode: NOTE: The Program Code is located on the Serial Plate on this unit after the word Code. 1. Press and hold the Door Alarm Keypad. 2. Press and hold Freezer Temperature DOWN /- Keypad within 3 seconds. 3. Release the Door Alarm Keypad and wait 3 seconds. 4. The control will display PE to indicate the programming mode. 5. Entry is confirmed by pressing the Freezer Temperature DOWN /- Keypad once more. 6. The control will display the current Program CODE. This value should be validated with theProgram CODE printed on the unit serial plate. NOTE: If the Program CODE is correct, the Programming Mode is exited by pressing Door Alarm Keypad for 3 seconds. 7. Press the Refrigerator Temperature UP /+ Keypad or Refrigerator Temperature DOWN /- Keypad to change the digit value with each key press. 8. The decimal point indicates the selected digit. Press the Freezer Temperature UP /+ Keypad to select the next digit. 9. Once the desired Program CODE is entered, press and hold the Freezer Temperature DOWN /- Keypad until the Program CODE begins flashing indicating it has been saved. NOTE: If you attempt to enter an invalid Program CODE the control will not save the new code, but will beep. (The unit will NOT run with a Program CODE of 0000).Once the Program CODE has been saved the Programming Mode is exited by pressing any key. If the new code is incorrect this process should be repeated. The Programming mode can be exited at any time by pressing Door Alarm key for 3 seconds or will exit if unattended for four minutes. Defrost Operation: The Control Board adapts the compressor run time between defrosts to achieve optimum defrost intervals by monitoring the length of time the defrost heater is on. After initial power up, defrost interval is 4 hours compressor run time. Defrost occurs immediately after the 4 hours. Read More...
Mr. Jim August 23, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore # 596.67992606 I have purchased the control board #W10503278. I got the instructions to do this in the question and answer section for this part. When I installed it and tried the programming procedure. At step 3 I get 5 - H instead of P- E on the displays. Is this an error code or am I doing something wrong ?
1 Answer Mr. Jim, It sounds like you may be doing something wrong. When you push the keypad make sure that you are hitting the freezer temperature down key and not the refrigerator temperature down key. This appears to be what is going on. Read More...
Deanna August 23, 2014 for Model Number GX5FHDXVYY02 I have a whirlpool gold french door fridge(gx5fhdxvy02) where the frigde is warm but freezer is cold. The compressor is hot but shuts off when i put it in a forced defrost and the frost melts. Does this mean the control board is bad and should be replaced?
1 Answer Deanna, If the unit is not defrosting and you put through a forced defrost, and the coils cleared of the frost then the issue would be in the control board WPW10503278. Read More...

Greg M. July 31, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool WRB322DMBM I have an Whirlpool WRB322DMBM that randomly shuts off on its own. The power is on but nothing else is running. The temperature settings just read as dashes (-). I have to manually turn it back on. W10503278 is the control for this refrigerator. Is this a faulty control or the thermostat or something else?
1 Answer Greg, The issue with the unit would most likely be related to a stuck key on the control board. You will want to check the housing of the board to make sure that the plastic tabs that push the buttons are not damaged. If they are then the housing would need to be replaced. If not then the control board is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
David K. July 12, 2014 for Model Number MBL2256KES Freezer freezes up and the fresh food side gets warm. I pulled the back cover of freezer to expose evaporator coils, they were frozen solid. Turned temperature setting down until – was displayed for freezer and refrigerator. Compressor continued to run. I believe a relay has stuck contacts on control board, which cost $135.00. Relay should be less than $5.00 do you know relay P/N and how to remove control board?
1 Answer Hello David, I'm sorry but the parts break-down does not give us this information. You would have to get this type of information from the manufacturer since we have no resources to look it up. Read More...
Alex July 04, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool gx2shbxvy07 Hello. My whirlpool fridges keeps building ice on the coils in the freezer, then the fridge will heat up. I programmed the fridge Jazz system to manually defrost the coils (long mode) and the defroster worked fine, all ice melted and the fridge cooled as normal. However, after a few weeks, the ice builds up again and I have to defrost manually to fix the problem. I checked all the maintenance tests, and they all pass and I can hear/see that the respectable functions work (for some tests). The Jazz system also seems to have full control of the fans and compressor, and turns off the compressor during the manual defrost program. Considering the defrost function works, would the problem be the control Jazz board (perhaps the timer function integrated into the board)? The Jazz freezer thermostat test (#1) seems to pass (in S mode) and thermistor (#5 shows P), so I'm not sure what other component may be affected without using a multimeter. Thank you!
1 Answer Alex, There are only 3 components of the defrost system, the heater, the defrost bimetal and the jazz board. When you put the unit into a forced defrost you eliminated the defrost heater and the bimetal as being good since the heater came on. The only other part that would be the issue would be the jazz board which is part number WPW10503278. Read More...
