5303918476 Refrigerator Defrost Control Board 241508001 for Frigidaire Defrost Time Board, Kenmore, Electrolux Defrost Board 1 YEAR WARRANTY

I have a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator that had been performing poorly for a little over a year. The back of the freezer section was frosting over and the fridge side was not getting cold enough. I was able to manually defrost the freezer every few months, but eventually, the fridge would not cool below 50 degrees, and I had perishables going bad quickly. The defrost fan was constantly cycling on and off about every 5 seconds, making a surging noise that I could hear from the next room.I watched a lot of YouTube videos and started with the cheapest possible fixes. The defrost thermostat was about $10 and moderately easy to swap out. It didn't help. The defrost fan was about $20, but also didn't fix the issue. Next was the Defrost Control Board. If you have seen many YouTube videos on replacing this board, most will show a kit containing a circuit board in an orange-colored plastic box and a new wiring harness. From what I could figure out, the orange box was an updated circuit board by Frigidaire, and it required the new wiring harness if you were replacing the older board in the white box. This board is a replacement for the old board, and doesn't require any changes to the wiring. You can swap out the old defective board with this one and be done.The process is fairly easy. Watching some videos would be helpful before you try it yourself, so you know how to remove the plastic housing. The tools you need are a 1/4-inch nut driver, a Philips screwdriver, and maybe a flashlight. Unplug the fridge, or switch of the electricity at the circuit breaker. Use the nut driver to remove all of the screws holding the white plastic housings at the top of the fridge compartment. You'll need a nut driver with a reach of about 3 inches. A socket wrench may not be narrow enough to reach some of the deeper screws. Mine got stuck. Don't remove any of the Philips-head screws until the wiring harness is disconnected and the plastic housings are removed. There are two screws holding the white plastic circuit box into the plastic housing. Remove those, unplug the wiring harness going to the board, then open the white box containing the circuit board, replace the board, and put everything back together.As others have mentioned before, you'll probably need to turn your fridge and freezer settings back down below factory settings. Mine were maxed out before this fix, and my fridge section was below freezing within 2 days. This was probably an easier fix than the thermostat or the defrost fan, and my freezer and fridge are both working perfectly now. It's worth trying this swap if you're experiencing the symptoms mentioned earlier.

I had an appliance repair company come out to repair my refrigerator, the part to repair my refrigerator was discontinued. The repair person was very nice and knowledgeable and showed me exactly what was wrong with the refrigerator. I thought I was going to have to buy a new refrigerator and even went and looked at them, but got to thinking about the part I decided I wanted to try to find it. Once I went on to repair clinic website and it gave me suggestions on how to find the part I put the part number in the search engine and this part came up. This part doesn’t look like the part that originally was supposed to be replaced (a bunch of wires) but it does work.I even read the reviews of this part and one customer actually had the exact same model refrigerator FRS6LF7JW3 that I had, and was experiencing the same issue. It was the refrigerator defrost control, the fan was turning off and on at about 1-3 second intervals. Fridge and freezer getting warmer and warmer. So I decided to order the part to see if it worked and so far so good works like a dream. Fridge is nice and cold maybe even better than before.The wires in first picture is the part discontinued and this board second picture replaces it and it works!!

Good price

After watching countless YouTube videos and looking everywhere to find this part only to realize the manufacturer does not make it anymore…I chose this part…I read reviews thst said the board might be too big to fit inside the white casing, but that was not true…I took the old adaptive defrost timer out of the white case…put in the new one which fit perfectly …no capacitors or parts sticking out to make it not close…circuit board fit exactly as original…As soon as I closed up everything and turned power on…the fan started blowing consistently and did not make sound like it was going on and off….I manually put it in defrost mode by keeping freezer door closed and hit the light switch 10 times…I noticed the defrost heater went solid orange and started melting ice thst had accumulated on the coils….it wasn’t getting this hot with old timer.All in all , very happy with purchase snd fixed problem…no need to buy the replacement part that you may see with wires thst aldo have to be changed…

exact fit and easy to install

Instant fix for the defrost fan that was starting and stopping every second or two. Now freezer works without ice/frost build up.

Ice maker is not working after installing this board. Work fine before new board. Just be aware.

Exact replacement for a Frigidaire model FRS6LF7JW3. The defroster was not working and after changing the thermostat with no success, ordered this defrost timer CCA. It was fairly easy to install and fixed the problem. It's been cooling perfectly for the last 4 months!
