[COLOR=seagreen]Just got an estimate to replace my ice maker control board for $280. Is this a good price? Is this something that is easily replaced by an amateur? Please help.[/COLOR]
The model number you posted does not come up. Verify and repost it please.

It says kenmore but the repair guy said it’s actually a whirlpool. The model number is 106.52693100. Thx.
If you are talking about the two optic PC boards (emitter & receiver) on both sides in the freezer, this is not too difficult to replace them yourself if you know how to handle a simple tools. The PC board kit will cost you just $86.23, so you can save almost $200.

Thanks! Miraculously it started to work again after not working for 3 days. Maybe it can make ice anyway without the computer board. I hope.
If it would not work again, post the complete description on the problem.

P.S. In such situation it’s better to start a new thread.
