Repair man said we need a new inverter board - cannot locate that part?Freezer thaws on its own, ice maker does not always make ice, unit will not hold a temp - fridge side now too seems to get warm?
thanks
For model number PSB42LGRBBV
Hello and thank you for writing.
The compressor always runs at the same RPM. On an inverter-driven compressor, the electronic inverter board can change the RPM of the compressor based on the cooling load. However it seems there is no inverter board in any of the diagrams the manufacturer has provided for your unit, but there is a compressor relay protector PS963839, which if faulty could show similar symptoms of what the unit is experiencing. We are not sure if the technician could have meant the relay. It certainly is worthwhile to check if this part is functioning correctly in your unit. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
If my model does not show of have an inverter board - what is ps11721922 electronic board used for and would it cause freezer to thaw on its own ice maker to not always make ice and fridge side warm up too?
For model number PSB42LGRBBV
Hello and thank you for writing.
The PCB board is basically the main brain of the unit, it controls everything electronically. In the rare occasion, it is a possibility that if parts of this board have become faulty it could cause the compressor not to run as it should, normally there would be the inverter board that would function with the compressor itself, you should find out from your technician if he was referring to the main control board and certainly you would want to test this board to make sure it is the part that has short and needs to be replaced. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

freezer side cools but the frig side is 47 degrees. what is the problem
For model number PSB42LGRBBV
Hi Jon, thank you for your question! We have found that the issue is probably because of the temperature sensor, part number PS966758. It senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. We would recommend replacing the sensor to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
The very first symptom here is important! The door water dispenser is not working but the ice macine is working. You may only have a frozen water tube in the door so do the following before diagnosing that your solenoid valve is bad: 1) the tube usually runs under the front of the refrigerator and usually has a quick disconnect. Undo t
... Read morehe connection and press the dispenser. If water comes out of the tube you have a frozen or blocked tube in the door. 2) Immediately adjust the temperature in the freezer and warm the freezer compartment as much as you can without destroying the freezer contents. Wait 24 hours. This will usually unfreeze the line. Do not waste your time with a hair dryer. NOW, if this doesn't work and you are convinced you need to order and replace the solenoid, follow these steps. Assemble your tools first. I needed a good ratchet set and a screwdriver. A shop towel is helpful for spilled water. A light is handy. Pull out the refreigerator to gain access to the rear of the unit. Unplug the power and close the water valve (older homes, you may need to actually shut the house water supply). Remove the screws which hold the cover over the lower half of the refrigerator. On the left you will see the solenoid. It's always good to see that your new part matches the one you feel needs replaced. They may not match perfectly due to changing design but they should be very similar. One screw holds this part in place and access is very simple. Now simply unplug the electrical connections. In my case, one blue "blade" type connection (powering the water) and one red "blade" type connection powering the ice maker. They are not the same size and this coupled with the coloring means you will not accidently switch them. pull the tubes clear of the solenoid. This is simple and needs no explantion. Grab your new solenoid and reattach both the electrical and water lines (two, remember, ice maker and drink dispencer). Replace the single screw. Re-attach the rear, lower refrigerator cover and go to the front of the unit to check the water. You can listen carefully and hear the power engage from the new part bringing you water. Clean up, replace the refrigerator back to its place and look really tired when your wife sees that you worked "so hard"! You probably saved at least $50-$80 from a service call which can now be used to take the family to dinner after your "exhausting" 15 minute workout of removing about 10 screws and wheeling the unit in and out of place. Writing this article took longer! My 4 year old worked harder holding the flash light!
Model includes filtered ice maker and water dispenser from front of unit. Water maker just suddenly stopped working but ice maker continued to work fine. After some phone calls to trouble shoot at a high level, I figured it was worth a try to buy the replacement part of the most likely culprit and see if it did the trick. Would have cos
... Read moret maybe $150 or more for service tech to make house call, provide the part and do the switch. Buying the part was only $40 and replacement was easy. Remove access panel from behind fridge and identify valve. It has intake water from the filter then has two outbound lines. One to ice maker, one to water dispenser. All function is in one part, but each outbound line has its own functioning valve. Unplug fridge, turn off water supply, disconnect all connections from old valve and reattach to new valve. When re-hooked, be patient in allowing water to re-fill line before coming out of dispenser in front. Likely to doubt it works, but surprised how long it took for water to fill line resevoir.
Unscrew old filter and remove(counterclockwise). Line up arrow on new filter with arrow on connection housing. Turn clockwise till resistance met. Do not overtighten. Follow directions. Simple.
