Help. Just stocked my refrigerator last night and woke up this morning and discovered the temperature setting display was dead and that the refrigerator was not cooling.
Lights are on in the fridge.
Control Board or something else or more???
I would try to run a diagnostic mode first. If you are unable to and from what you are describing I would definitely suspect the control board ( Frigidaire 297334200 Refrigerator Electronic Control | Genuine OEM Part ) I have attached the tech sheet for reference

There is NO control lock key on this model. There is only up and down.
Can’t get to 1 which is the lowest it would go because I cannot see the display.
Uggh.
Definitely suspect control board
It is part # 297334200 and apparently it has been discontinued.
I know the unit is almost 20 years old but to have to trash it due to what was a sub $100 part seems wrong and so many levels.
Furthermore this means my All Freezer and trim kit has to go as well.
What a waste of money.
I had problems from day one with my Electrolux products after countless warranty repair calls I started diagnosing and fix myself.
Any chance you can find the part. I’m not made out of money.
We are not allowed to recommend other sites, but you can do an internet search for that part number and see if some third party site has it.
