circuit boardThe 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.

LouAnne – I got mine from a local parts store. Check the yellow pages. You could bring in the old board with you and they can match it up.
A couple of online options are
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/
http://www.repairclinic.com/
http://www.partselect.com/

Good luck with the repair.
