Product review (5 stars): The board worked great as a replacement
The board worked great as a replacement. Problem: The variable speed compressor would at full capacity until some fault would stop cooling and fan until another power cycle (unplugged and re-plugged in)
Solution: the new board worked perfectly. The compressor gradually came up to full capacity and cooled per the temp settings for the refrigerator and freezer. I don't think the compressor ever operated correctly with the original control board. It always seem to be run at full capacity.
The $100 board was a no-brainer. We were looking at replacing the whole unit.
