Blew $200 on a universal control board that was supposed to fix any fridge - what a joke

Did you try actually checking the wire harness before installing it? I had a similar problem and turned out a pin was bent on the connector, once I fixed that it worked fine.

Man, $200 for a universal board that promises the world and delivers a headache, I've been there. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, sometimes it works and sometimes it just sits there looking stupid. Hey @vera_sanchez, that pin thing reminds me of the time I spent a whole afternoon troubleshooting a washer that wouldn't spin, and it turned out I had a loose ground wire that was barely hanging on - felt like a total idiot. Those universal boards are a gamble, and the instructions always leave out the one weird step your specific model needs. I usually end up just getting the OEM part after my first attempt fails, even if it costs more, just to save my sanity.
