Beeping stops when I disconnect evap fan motor. I have 12 volts to fan motor, checked when I unhook fan motor. Bi-metal and heating element have continuity. Replaced evap fan motor with new - get the same beeps and fan won't run. Next guess is, I have to have the control board rebuilt (W10219463). Core Centric Solutions says they can do it. I cannot find the control board! Everything says it is just to the left of the compressor, but all I find is the inverter. Do you have a picture or a video that shows the location of this control board? I cannot find it to remove it!

I am looking for the power control board that is supposed to be under the fridge liner, but I do not see anything that looks like a control case - just the inverter. Thanks for your response.

An article on ************************.com Defrost, Condenser, Temperature, or Other Problems in KSS, KSC and other Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Kenmore/JennAir/Maytag Refrigerators « ApplianceBoards Claims that this particular board (verified it is identical to mine) should have 11.5V or higher between pins 9 and 11 and the board is good. I have 11.68VDC, so my board should be good. I am also getting 11.68VDC to the fan motor. I replaced the evap fan motor, and my problem still exists. What else could be the problem? What are the chances the motor you sent me was also bad?

I have seen on a website that a new jumper harness is supposed to be installed when replacing the evap fan motor. Could this be the issue? If not, I will have my board rebuilt.
