Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace the control board in your Samsung refrigerator.
The control board controls the refrigerator's functions. It also has a DC power board built into it. If your refrigerator turns on but doesn't function properly, check the components related to the function first. Replace the control board only after you've verified the other components.
