Fixing the Fridge

 

Electronic Control Board and Panel Removed

What to do?

The door panel on our Whirlpool refrigerator had been turning off intermittently. It was a pain. The fridge continued to cool, but we could not get water or ice when the panel was resetting. 

I decided to do some research and discovered, via YouTube, that replacing the dispenser electronic control board was not a very difficult process. I ordered a new board which came with a panel and it arrived yesterday. 

The whole process took about an hour between watching the video and installing the new board. The biggest problem that I encountered was that the ribbon connector was not long enough to insert a connector beneath it. It took a bit of doing, but I was able to finally get it all installed without breaking the cable. 

It all worked now and I am happy. And it was a lot less expensive than buying a new refrigerator.

Another project complete.
