Electronic Control Board 297235200

Hello Raymond, thank you for your question. The electronic control is located on the outside of the door itself. You can find this part by removing the outer control panel. Use a putty knife around the edge of the control panel to release the tabs to remove the control. I hope this helps.

Hello Thad and thanks for writing. This could be a problem with a few things, here are a few hints so you can give it a check over. The temperature control thermostat directs voltage to the compressor, evaporator fan motor, and condenser fan motor. ... If the contacts inside the thermostat do not open, even at the lowest settings, this indicates that the thermostat is defective. The sealed system is made up of the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and the tubes around them. Damage or malfunction to any of these parts could be the cause of the freezer running too long. Here is a thought on the defrost heater, If your freezer is a frost-free model that continues to run but doesn’t get cold enough, then the defrost heater may be defective. These models use a defrost heater to melt the frost that accumulates on the evaporator coil. A defrost timer cycles the heater on at regular intervals to maintain a frost-free evaporator. If the heater fails, the frost will continue to accumulate on the evaporator until it becomes blocked and no air can circulate through it. This will cause the compressor to run almost continuously to try and satisfy the thermostat control. You can test the defrost heater for continuity with a multi-meter, and it typically should show less than 30 ohms. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime. Good Luck with your repair. By the way good job with letting your unit settle for 24 hours most people do not know this.

Hi Vincent, you would have to pry it off using what tools you have available. Something flat and thin works best like a paint scraper. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Hello Thad and thanks for writing. You are right most upright freezers have a thermostat but this particular model has not, which leaves the option of replacing the control board. We hope this helps if you need any help with installation please feel free to contact us anytime.

Hi James, thank you for your question. If your door switch is the part giving you issues, then you will likely need to replace the door switch. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Joy, thank you for asking. According to our research, the door ajar provides a warning if the door is open for more than five minutes. We would recommend pressing the alarm reset button to turn the alarm off. If this does not solve the problem, you may need to check the temperature sensor, part number PS977306, to fix the issue. It senses the temperature inside the freezer and sends information to the electronic control board. We hope this solves your problem!

Hi Pat, thank you for asking. To fix the issue, you may need to check the defrost thermostat, part number PS2350702. It is used to regulate the freezer's temperature to keep it cold and constant. We hope this solves your problem!

Hi Wayne, Thank you for contacting us. Here is a link to your owner's manual that you may reference for information on how you may resolve the temperature issue in your refrigerator, https://partselectcom.azureedge.net/assets/manuals/5FECC02D3F13C6B156FA7C2E1701FE12B0FF2EDD.pdf. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Leon, thank you for reaching out. You may need to press the alarm reset to turn the alarm off. If the issue still persists, we would recommend checking the door switch, part number PS427069. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope that will resolve your problem!

Hi Thad, thank you for your question. When you are having temperature problems in your fridge, there are a few parts that could cause the issue. You can use a multi meter to test most of the parts. Make sure you cut power to your appliance before doing any repairs or tests. First you should test your defrost thermostat. Place the thermostat in ice cold water for 2-3 minutes after removing it from your appliance. It should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. Another part to check would be your defrost heater. Remove it from the appliance. It should be reading anywhere between 0 - 50 ohms to be working. You could check your temperature sensor. To find the correct reading for this part you will have to refer to your tech sheet that comes with your appliance. You can usually find this tech sheet behind the bottom grille of your fridge on either the right or left side. These are the most common parts that cause this issue in your appliance. So it is suggested you check them first. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
