how to check a fridge cooling-control problem
check for an obstructed door or cooling vent, then record whether the fridge, freezer or both are warm. these observations help a technician investigate the fault; they do not prove a control-board failure.

scope: keep electrical housings closed. match the full appliance version and old module before service. continued warmth after repair requires further diagnosis, not another assumed board change.
diy warning
working on appliances can involve mains electricity, water and moving parts. always disconnect power and water before you start. in Australia, gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and fixed (hard-wired) electrical work by a licensed electrician. everything on this site is guidance only, and any repair you carry out is at your own risk. we are not responsible for any damage or injury caused by attempting a repair. if you are not confident, please use a qualified technician.

steps
- check the door and vents
check that food or packaging isn't holding the door open or blocking an inside cooling vent. don't open the control housing.
- record what changed
note whether the fridge, freezer or both are warm, and what the display or alarm does. photograph the accessible model label for the technician.
- arrange the repair
leave cabinet panels and electrical connections closed. have the technician find the fault, check the product page's model and version conditions, and compare the old module and connections before fitting a replacement.
- check after repair
have the technician check temperature control after fitting. continuing warmth needs further checking, not another assumed board change.
