Electronic Defrost Control Board with Wire Harness and Screws 4388932

Hi Rick, Thank you for your question. The first thing that I would suggest checking is your defrost thermostat. That part seems to be the more likely part to cause the issue. You could also test your run capacitor and your start relay as well. If all of those parts are fine you may have to look into replacing your control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Bill, Thank you for your question. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. First remove the screws securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward to release. Detach the ground wire and the crisper light wire connector for better access. If you do this remove the screw to release the damper control arm to prevent it from breaking. Then remove the screws securing the defrost control board. Note the orientation of the wires then remove them from the board. Then install the new control board by first attaching the wires. Position the board in the control panel and secure it with the screws. Align the slot in the slot in the damper control arm with the freezer control cam and secure it with the screw. Reconnect the crisper lite wire connector and reattach the grounding wire to the heat shield. Align the control panel on the mounting tabs and push it into place. Replace the screws to secure. Plug the power cord back in and verify if everything is working. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Jim, Thank you for your inquiry. To test the defrost circuit, you may use a multimeter to check the continuity of the part. If the bi-metal defrost thermostat is not the issue, There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the air diffuser, the door cams to see if the door is closing correctly and not letting air inside the refrigerator, fresh food door gaskets, the overload and relay assembly, the evaporator fan motor and the electronic defrost control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Charles, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend testing the ice dispenser solenoid assembly, ice chute door motor, door motor bracket, door bracket connection, door chute, dispenser control board, and separator. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Hello Kelvin, thank you for your question. The updated part is Electronic Defrost Control Board with Wire Harness and Screws PartSelect Number: PS372261. This is the defrost control for your model. Good luck with your repair!

Hello Damien, thank you for your question. I would recommend testing the capacitor on the compressor as well. Capacitor part number PS11757023, is the part that provides the voltage or energy current required to start the compressor and keep it running. It allows the compressor in your appliance to easily cycle on and off. Doing so enables the appliance to effortlessly maintain its internal temperature. If the capacitor is faulty your refrigerator or freezer might be too warm, or you may notice the compressor will hum, but it will not run. If the capacitor is ok, the issue would most likely be the control board itself. I hope this helps!

Hi Juan, 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.

Hello Reynaldo, 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 these parts. Make sure you cut power to your appliance before doing any repairs or tests. First you should test your defrost thermostat, part number: PS11750673. 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, part number: PS11740458. Remove it from the appliance. It should be reading anywhere between 0 - 50 ohms to be working. You could also check your Capacitor and start relay. Make sure after unplugging your capacitor you release any electrical charge. You can do this with a screwdriver that has an insulated handle. When testing your capacitor set your meter to 1000 ohms. Touch your probes to the terminals on the part. If your meter stays on 0 then your capacitor needs to be replaced. Part number PS11757023. For your start relay, set your meter to the lowest setting and calibrate it to 0. Your relay should be reading anywhere between 10 - 100 ohms. If it does not, then it is likely broken and needs to be replaced. Part number PS11749877. We hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
