Bad Main Control board? Is it worth fixing? Thanks.[/COLOR]

Also I have a GE side-by-side refrigerator GSS23Q series that keeps freezing up - how hard is it to determine if it is a PCB in the back or a element, or hi limit, etc? Is there a schematic for it? Fan in freezer had been pulsing up & down in speed intermittently for the last year or so prior to that... I can defrost with a hair dryer & it works for almost a week & freezes solid. Thanks!

Check with APP on their return policy (those of us who reply here are volunteers and not associated with the company) On the refrigerator I would start with the thermostat, and you can find an exploded view of the fridge by using its model number and the "Find Parts" page. Good luck.
