As title says, our Santa disabled our 11 year old fridge for a special Christmas Day. Had to wait until Wednesday for our appliance expert to come and confirm the Invertor board for the starting of the compressor was dead. He got the part ordered and installed 2 days later, $625 CAD for all told with taxes included. He tested all other components and all passed. Didn't want to replace the unit, it's a 36" wide counter depth unit, these are usually around $2200 in our area.
He said the reason was probably a power surge, he mentioned that other houses in my area had experienced the same thing in the last 3 weeks, all motherboards failing. So I ordered a Schneider Electric Power Surge unit from Amazon for $19.99 rated for 1080 joules. Other than a ice maker failure (fixed myself) this fridge has been good.
Time will tell.
