PDS20MBWBWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Easy

the new board was more complicated than the old, however the install instructions seem to have anticipated this. It works for mow. thanks for inquiring'

Found out via searches that the most likely failed part was the Main Control Board. A simple repair with basic tools and a HUGE savings. Thanks to everyone here for the posts.

PS - on my particular GE model PFS22SISBSS there was no need to cut any wires as per the instructions because the wires did not exist on this unit.

Very simple fix by replacing the mother board. Your "how to" video made the repair even easier. The appliance repair estimate was over $400. I saved over $200. I already recommended your site to several other people. Thanks for making it so easy

The first and most important step was to diagnose the problem. To do this I found the Parts Select website and the part I thought was the problem. The previous repairs stories helped me to pin point the problem. The mother board came within a couple of days. All I had to do was take the back plate/guard off, unplug the connectors in the back, unclip the mother board and then do the reverse over again. The only problem was the ground wire. I had to take the one off that came with the part and switch it out with the old one, because it would not connect to my refrigerator. This was fairly simple and in about 30 min. I was done and had our refrigerator back. Luckily we had another in the garage as a back up so we didn't loose any food.

Thanks Parts Select

I easily removed the screws and then removed the board and took a picture so I would remember how to re-connect it. It was really easy and now my refrigerator is working great. If I can do it anyone can do it. My husband was amazed that I did it all by myself.

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

very easy repair, simple exchange

Removed the screws on the back panel with a nut driver and then removed the old board from the back. Rehooked the connections and replaced board and backing.
Repairman wanted to charge $400 for parts and labor. Saved $150 because he charged to diagnose the problem.

I unplugged the refrigerator. I removed cover plate with nut driver. I removed all wire harness plugs from old board and removed old board using needle nose pliers to squeeze existing holding clips. Old board came right out. I then snapped new board into place and replaced all the plugs. I replaced cover with nut driver and plugged in the refrigerator. Its been two weeks and all seems to be working fine.

I ordered a new electronic board from GE. Took the cover off of old board located on back of refrigerator. Removed old board and installed new. Instructions were included. I also visited the GE website and watched an installation video. Very good instructions.

If you simply watch the video on Partselect and follow the the enclosed instructions you will have no problem. Gently wiggle the connectors and push them aside. The only tricky part was squeezing the little nylon pins that support the board to slide the old one off. They can be brittle so exercise some care. Snapping the new board on is - well a snap. The ground connector on my unit was a slide-on but the new board had a screw-based connector. I pushed the connector over the slide-in mount and it was a tight fit so all was well.

read on line that fan control in main board can cause erratic running of the fan causing "whooing" and ghostly sounds. New board installed and now I have the quietest fridge in the neighborhood. Here's the unbelieveable part. Ordered the part online from parts select on good friday morning. Fed ex delivered it just after lunch the next day (saturday). Now that's the best service I've ever received!!

I read other reviews then decided it was my main control board.Watched the video for install. It was easy to change out.Everything is working great again.

I unplugged the unit, replaced the main board, repowered and observe for a few minutes. my fridge is okay again.
