Why not put in a new board the original could have been defective? Lot's less work.
This is what I am trying to decide, get new board or get new fridge. They want $531.00 for the board and with the service call of $114.00 one has to ask is it better just to get new. I have always had a good surge protector.

Google your model number and find the board on Amazon then, with the model number google again for a video of change out. I replaced a main board on a Frigidaire 2 years ago and it was plug and play. My board was for a 22 Cu. Ft. and only $200.00 factory part.

I installed a Bosch side by side, counter depth unit about 10 years ago. Its on 24-7, never one problem.
I removed the two fridge doors and everything inside. After removing the hand grab by the door and the passenger seat, my wife and I were able to wrestle it in. I have a 95 U320 with the narrower front door and it still managed to fit through the door frame.
Total weight of the fridge is over 300#.
Lon ..do you have any photos from the install that you could post ?

Samsung RF18 has died. Need to put in new res fridge, anything but a Samsung. Just wondering what other brands anyone has used.
Back to the beginning. I would spend the money on a certified tech to narrow down what is wrong with your fridge. It as you have said may be the board, but. What if its something else or simpler. What shape is it in IE visually. Absolutely easier to repair than replace once you determine what is actually wrong till then you are guessing at best and just replacing which is okay with me.  DWMYH. 👍👍 if the same tech replaces the board and it doesnt work your not paying for it.

We did get a certified tech and he said it was the board. We have decided to fix it this one time only. When it fails again then I will pull it out and replace with different brand. Thanks to all for your thoughts.

Good call IMO. Still would add a good surge protector dedicated to it just to be on the safe side. Hope it all works out.
