Hi Louie71. So, did you get the new board plugged in?

Hi, louie71

It is the correct board, even though I know it looks different from the one you currently have. From what I can see, the manufacturer appears to have made a design change or revision to the control board. Based on all the available information, this updated board is compatible with your appliance and should work properly once installed.

I’m going to order it, but the board on the site looks like it has extra connectors for things to plug in to. Is there a video that will take me through where to plug my wires? Thank you for the help.

Hi louie71,

I’ll check to see if I can find some additional information for you. As soon as I do, I’ll post an update here. Thanks for your patience.

I got the new board. Plugged everything in. Fridge still has no power. Is there anything special I have to do to get the fridge to power back on?

Hi Louie71,

I found a video showing the control board replacement. It should help identify where each connector goes on the board:

Take a look and compare the connector locations with your machine. This should make it easier to verify that everything is plugged into the correct spot.

Hi Louie71,

I found another video that also explains the replacement procedure for the new control board. One question: did the board you ordered come with the inverter wire?

Hello Jose, not sure which connector is the inverter wire, but what he calls the “small one” connector at 3:46 in the video does not connect at that location. It plugs in on the left in what is called J18 on my board. I also only have one ground wire connection on my board.
