The Handyguys discuss fixing a Whirpool Gold refrigerator. The issue was the unit would not run when the light bulb was installed. Many people have reported various issues such as:
Display on the control panel stops working
Lights not working (even with new bulbs)
Electrical noise or buzzing sound from behind
Flickering lights
No cooling
The problem was a burnt contact on the circuit board. In this video we show you how to replace the control board.

Where can we purchase a new circuit board?

A couple of online options are
