The dispenser control board serves as a crucial component in managing water and ice dispensing features in Frigidaire refrigerators, including those from Electrolux and Sears-Kenmore. It enables functions such as selecting between cubed or crushed ice and controlling the dispenser light. However, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion, and excessive heat may cause damage over time.
Indicators that the control board may require replacement include malfunctioning dispenser capabilities or erratic performance. Should these symptoms present themselves, it is advisable to replace the control board. Begin by using a flathead screwdriver to detach the front panel, revealing the control board beneath. Carefully disconnect the wires, making note of their arrangement, and remove the faulty board. Proceed to install the new board, reconnect the wires accurately, and secure the cover in place.
This authentic OEM part is available for individual purchase and fits models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Crosley.
