Refrigerator Repair Question

[GolfVenture]

The outside controller for the water and ice has a small round door that opens so the ice can slide down from the ice maker through the round door into the glass.

 

For no reason both the water and ice stopped dispensing and this small round door keeps opening and then after the small round door opens fully the spring then shuts the door quickly. This cycle occurs every about every 7 seconds give or take a second. Several lights on the controller door keeps flashing.

 

The water dispenser was flowing water very fast to the filter today so it is not pluged.

 

I have pretty much dismantled the the controller door, looking at the small mother board and the motor unit to the ice dispenser.

 

This where I could use some suggestions please.

those boards are known for going bad especialy if its one with a digital read out and the cost of one is asd much as a new frige

My son and I kept searching and then found a forum on it. Identified the board and the 2 caps with the correct item number. Will go to Radio Shack tomorrow as recommended. Supposed to be a $5.00 fix.

Good luck with the $5 fix.

Whenever I need to fix anything I look for a forum or visit "YouTube University"

But I bet those refrigerator forum guys aren't as cool as us!

OH...you would be AMAZED. There are a ton of YouTube videos on all kinds of appliance repair. I've used them several times.
