Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

Replaced main control board WR55X10942. It was definitely bad...burnt solder on back of board on biggest relay. Since then compressor, now is running, but dispenser lights on freezer door or control lights in fresh food section are not on. And doesn't seem to be cooling properly. Could new board be bad, or should I look at something else.

Seems like they shipped you a bad board, but you also now might have a defrost issue.
Remove the back freezer panel and check frost pattern.

Thanks. No defrost issue before new board was installed.

When I get a motherboard, I check for the original factory nylon packing tape sealing the box. If re-taped, they sent you a used item.

Original factory tape was there. Just installed 2nd new board. All is well. Thanks.
