Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my circuit board has failed?

Common symptoms of a failed circuit board include: refrigerator not cooling on any mode (gas, electric, or auto), no clicking sound from the gas valve, burner not igniting, or intermittent cooling that stops unexpectedly. If your refrigerator has power but won't initiate the cooling cycle, the circuit board is often the culprit.

What's the difference between mechanical base and electronic control boards?

Mechanical base circuit boards work with traditional dial-type thermostats and use simpler relay-based controls. Electronic control boards feature digital displays and push-button controls. This part (385311690) is specifically for mechanical systems - if your refrigerator has a digital display, you'll need a different control board.

Can I install this circuit board myself?

Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and the ability to safely disconnect propane and electrical connections. You'll need to access the exterior refrigerator compartment, remove the old board, and connect the new one following the wiring diagram. If you're not comfortable working with propane systems, professional installation is recommended for safety.

Will this fix my refrigerator if it's not cooling?

A faulty circuit board is one of several possible causes of cooling failure. Before replacing the board, verify that you have proper propane flow, 12V DC power is reaching the refrigerator, and the burner assembly is clean. If these basics check out and the board shows no signs of operation, replacing it often resolves the issue.
