Refrigerator and freezer would stop cooling. Would happen suddenly without warning. Reset of refrigerator would solve the problem and it would run fine for several days before doing it again.
Only tool I used was 1/4 inch socket. Using the 1/4 inch socket, the screws were removed from the panel covering the control board. (this is on the back in the lower right corner). When this panel is off you are looking at the control board. Next remove all the plug in connectors. Don't worry about remembering where they go. They all are different and can only go in their specific place. After removing the connectors, pull the board out. Replace the plug in connectors before putting the new board back in , then snap the board back into place.(held in by four pins). Replace the cover.

No Cooling on either freezer or refrigerator
Everything seemed to be working right, but no cooling, so I tried turning on and off the switch that turns the light on 5 times within two seconds, refrigerator did not shot. so I removed the main board and I notice a short had taken place on one of the relay legs. I ordered the main board and replaced it. The main board is on the back of the freezer covered with a sheet metal panel about 8"x8" and is secured with hex sheet metal screws. Everything is working now. Please make sure to unplug the unit from power before removing the main board.

Electric surge from lightening strike close to house
Obvious that main electronic board was fried. Refrigerator and freezer both not working although fan was running. Replaced main board and run capacitor. Compressor not running. Pulled starter relay and checked compressor connections for continuity. Checked ok. Ordered starter relay and installed with new capacitor. Compressor started and has been running quiet and cold ever since. Thanks to videos on partsselect website for offering the confidence to try the fix myself. Total spent on parts and shipping,$350. I had electric provider install surge protection behind meter for a cost of $5.70 a month. Hope it works as advertised.

Lost all power except light bulbs.
For the Main Control board: I took pictures of connectors and matched them to same numbered connectors on the new board, but it's hard to get it wrong, really. Since the old board zapped a hole right through the plastic sheet behind it, I made a new one with the original as a template. For the ice auger, I left the blades on the old, broken one til I was ready to swap them to the new one to keep them in order, and used a new nut though the old one probably would have still worked. The clear crusher cover plate does wiggle on the auger assembly, blades and all. Just be sure to take pictures to remember how it all goes together. The trickiest part is removing the crusher assembly without breaking plastic--only use just enough force to release the claws. You'll have to at least partly take apart the rod pieces underneath. I cleaned everything with warm, dish soap water and some white vinegar mixed in. Some parts I put in the dishwasher. This a good time to clean the entire frig, too. You may want to also have new water line connector hardware on hand, too, just in case it gets damaged/leaks if disconnected and reconnected for servicing. Always unplug the frig first to start. I used a small, indoor/outdoor temperature device to check the freezer and frig temps to check when done to make sure it worked. Finally, it really, really helped having a "loaner" frig during this time!

Every time there is a power outage, my refrigerator goes off for a couple days, but comes back on eventually. Last time I changed out the Compressor switch, the surge capacitor, and since the refrigerator was older and after reading that the fan should always operate when plugged in, I also changed the fan motor. Once again power went off last night and now the fridge is off. The interior lights work so I know there is power. I also did a resistance check on the compressor and that checked good. Without a drawing I cannot figure out what component would act in this way. I am leaning toward the motherboard. Could you please advise me on this?
For model number DSD26DHWABG

The water and ice dispenser occasionally stop working. When the dispenser handle is depressed, the LED above, for the Water, Crushed or Cubed turns off and nothing is dispensed (no motor activity whatsoever, like a dead mother board). Pressing a couple of the temperate control buttons turns ALL the LEDS back on for 20 seconds or so and then the dispenser usually goes back to normal operating mode. Sometimes it takes a couple of times to get it to return functionality. Suspect it’s probably an issue with the main circuit board?
For model number GSS25WSTISS
PartSelect logo
Hello Daniel, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our research, if you see no motor activity and it is taking too much effort to function properly, the only solution left to get your appliance to work smoothly is replacing your control board, part number PS16729744. We hope this solves your problem!

CAN THIS MAIN BOARD CAUSE THE ICE MAKER NOT TO WORK? I HAVE REPLACED THE ICE MAKER AND THE WATER SOLENOID VALVE IS WORKING PROPERLY AND WATER LINE IS NOT FROZEN, BUT STILL NO ICE.
For model number HSS22IFPACC
PartSelect logo
Hi James, Thank you for your question. If your ice maker is not making ice and the water lines are fine and you have already replaced the ice maker and the water inlet valve, then you will need to check the electronic control board, the micro switch and the dispenser door solenoid assembly. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!

My fridge has a constant clicking sound and it cools both the freezer and the fridge but not as cold anymore. It has been two days now and it's been clicking every second. What could this be?
For model number gss22jepcww

My fridge and freezer will operate as normal. Then the whole unit will make loud humming and clicking noises. After that the temperatures on both the fridge and freezer will become far to warm. I try to clean the components in the back of the fridge and unplug for a few minutes. Sometimes that helps reset it. Does this mother board sound like it may correct my issue?
For model number PFS22SISBSS
PartSelect logo
Hi Casey, thank you for the question. If your refrigerator is making an extremely loud humming sound, the compressor kit, part number PS8768493, is usually the cause, and it might be time to repair or replace it. Before replacing the compressor, clean the fridge's condenser coils and fan to ensure built-up dirt and dust are not the sources of the issue. We hope this helps!
