When the main control board fails, your refrigerator may display error codes, cycle erratically, or stop cooling entirely. Modern refrigerators rely on electronic control boards to manage temperature, defrost timing, and compressor cycles. Our technicians carry common replacement boards and can diagnose and replace yours — often during the same visit — in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow.
Voltage spikes from storms or power outages can fry control board circuits. A surge protector helps prevent this.
Condensation inside the control housing causes corrosion on board connections over time.
Capacitors and relays on the board degrade after 8–12 years of continuous operation.
Some models have known control board issues — particularly certain GE and Samsung models.
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Check if the fridge displays any error codes on the digital panel
Try unplugging the fridge for 5 minutes, then plugging back in — a reset sometimes clears temporary glitches
Check if the lights work but cooling doesn't — this often points to the control board
Note any unusual behavior: intermittent cooling, fans running constantly, or display flickering
