Wife noticed center partition of this dbl dr frig very hot. Tech came out and said the Electronic Control was not functioning properly and caused the fan to run at a slow speed therfore not keeping the (whats ever in there) cool. He said I needed the part #2307028 replaced (Electronic Control).

I think I see where the part is housed. Can you tell me if it is something that can be replaced by me. I am pretty handy about putting things back together, but does anything have to be re-set with some type of metering before the new board works properly.

It looks like the board is housed in a gray plastic box. If it is a simple replacement, can you give me instructions on how to proceed to get to where the board is housed? Your company has the part and I can save about $220.00 by doing it myself.

Your model # doesn't work, please check.
Measure freezer and fridge temperatures, and post.
Is the middle trim between freezer and fridg sections the item getting hot, if so you probably have a bad condenser fan or clogged condenser coils all in the back behind the panel.

I had a repair man out and he said the electrontic control board that controls the condensor fan needed to be replaced. The center post gets very hot. The model number of my frig is KSCS251N5500 and the serial # is SR3255505. The frig is only 2-1/2 yrs old and ******************.co say they do not carry the part which is 2307028 and when I go onto kitchenaid.com, it shows that this is the right part number for the electronic control board for the model & serial # I have.

Do you think the repair man might be trying to sell me a electronic board instead of a fan and is there any way to know for sure.

I have replaced a few of these motors. Looks like a standard 115 volt motor they sell here for $30 part # AP3120994
Pull the wires to your old motor and stick in 115 volts, if motor does not run just get a new one at this site, if not, yes you will need a new control board.
While waiting, would be a good idea to stick a portable fan at the back to cool off the fridg.

My Kitcheaid refrigerator MODEL # KSCS25INSS00
SERIAL # SR2433331 IS ALSO NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
I checked the compressor fan and it does not have power (115v) going to it.
Where does the power come from and what is the most likely problem?
The frame around the doors are extremely hot.
Additionally, I used to hear a "vacuum noise" when I closed the freezer door, but no more, since this is other problem arose. Could it be this electronic control & where is it found on/in the refrigerator?
Thanks
