First check if you got power to the fridge. Open the doors and see if the light comes on. If the light is on but nothing else is working, that’s your main control board. Pretty common on these GE french doors. You need the WR55X46805 for your model. Check the rear panel of the fridge, pull the cover off and the board should be right there. Swap it out and you should be good. Let me know how it goes.
already checked the power it is good. and already have replaced the main control board no change
When you say nothing is working, tell me exactly what you see. Are the lights on inside when you open the door? Any sounds at all from the fridge, like the compressor running or fans? Is the display on the front doing anything?
On these GE french doors there is another board at the top of the left door, it’s the door control board. That one handles the display, lights, and talks to the main board. If the main board didn’t fix it, that’s probably your problem. You need the WR55X44126 for your model. It’s at the top of the left door behind the cover panel. Let me know how it goes.
no light when you open the door, no sounds, no compressor or fans, not even sending 120v to the compressor, compressor is not shorted, compressor windings tested good. display on the front is doing nothing but displaying a red warning symbol but will not respond to buttons
Fan motors and other loads made to work using D/C Voltage. This creates a phenomena known as loading down.This can make the appliance to shut down completely or affect other D/C loads.Start by diconnecting D/C loads on board one at a time! and see if come back to life.
