Fixed that problem, but since then both sides of the unit have gradually gotten warmer, even though I keeping upping the dials. The freezer side is now at about 28 degrees and the fridge side near 50. Could this be related to a defective board or is it more likely a leak?

Check the condenser coil make sure it's free of dust & also the fan is working. Also check that the evaporator to see if it is not frosted up,& the fan is going. If it is iced up back to the suction line then the refrigerant charge is good.If all was well before the board was changed the u may have a defective board
