How to Fix Refrigerator Error

Unplug refrigerator and systematically test all temperature sensors and fan motors.
Verify each component individually tests within specification.
Check all wiring harnesses for damage, especially at common routing points.
If multiple unrelated components show failures but test good individually, suspect main control board.
Remove rear access panel to access main control board.
Inspect board thoroughly for: burnt components, bulging capacitors, cracked solder joints, moisture damage.
Pay special attention to power regulation sections and sensor input circuits.
Verify 5V and 12V DC power rails are stable under load (compressor startup).
If board shows any physical damage or power rails are unstable, replace main control board W
After replacement, run full diagnostic mode testing all sensors, fans, and actuators to verify complete system functionality.
