Common refrigerator repair parts you may need

Replacing one of these refrigerator parts may fix your problem.

Electronic Control Board Replacement

If the electronic control board in a refrigerator is defective, it can cause various problems, such as loss of power, cooling issues, and water leaks. This is because the board acts as the brain of the refrigerator, managing critical functions like temperature regulation, fan operation, defrost cycles, icemaker control, and dispenser operations. When the board fails, it can disrupt communication among different parts, including automatic doors if present. A faulty board may produce clicking or chattering noises and emit a burning odor. Given its potential impact on multiple components, it's recommended to have a Sears Home Services professional check the board using diagnostic tests to determine if replacement is necessary.

LED Light Assembly Replacement

When the refrigerator LED light assembly malfunctions, the interior won't be lit, giving the impression of a total power outage. Moreover, a defective LED light assembly can affect the display, especially in refrigerators with built-in control panels. This may result in a dim display, making it challenging to read and operate the controls properly. Occasionally, a faulty LED assembly may flicker or provide uneven illumination.

User Interface Control Replacement

When the user interface control in a refrigerator stops functioning, it loses its ability to communicate with the main control board. This affects settings like temperature or the status of the icemaker. As a result, the interface display stops working, making the refrigerator seem inactive. Occasionally, it may only display an error code. If the interface controls drawer temperature settings alone, a crack in the shelf housing the interface can prevent it from responding to the selected settings.
