Thermador Refrigerator Control Board Repair

Thermador refrigerators start facing first serious hardships with functioning after many years of extensive use. When your fridge continues cycling improperly, a diagnostic is needed. During a refrigerator electronic control board failure, the refrigerator can't cool correctly. It won't cool at all if the control board relay that turns on the compressor fails, which is the most common problem with a refrigerator control board (other failed parts can prevent the control board from running, such as the start device or overload fuse). Another symptom of a refrigerator control board failure is that fans, lights or other components aren't working. Remove the nine quarter inch hex screws the hold the access cover. The Main Control Board is located behind it. Remove each of the individual wire harness connections before you attempt to remove the board. Separate each individual plug and wiggle them out. You can use the needle nose pliers. Depress the four plastic mounting tabs holding the board in place. Remove the old refrigerator Control Board and mount the new Control Board. Line it up over the four mounting tabs. Reinstall the wire harness and make sure they seat firmly in their sockets. Locate the ground wire with the eyelet so that when you put the cover back on the screw will go through the ground to the chassis. With the board back in place, put the access cover back on. Reinstall all nine screws and attach the ground wire. Now that the back panel is attached, push the refrigerator back in place, turn on the water line and connect the power cord. Surely, the refrigerator electronic control board will need to be programmed after installation to work properly. Don’t hesitate to contact a professional refrigerator repair assistant to return your Thermador refrigerator to proper functioning.
