This board manages key systems including cooling, defrost cycle, display and dispenser-control logic. Because similar boards may look alike but have different pinouts, firmware or mounting, please check with your maintenance technician to verify this part number matches your appliance’s full model number and that the control board is indeed the correct component before ordering. geapplianceparts.com+1
Features & Benefits
-
Genuine OEM board designed for direct replacement in compatible GE refrigerators — assures correct fit and function. geapplianceparts.com+1
-
Kit version addresses common control board failures (e.g., no defrost, no water/ice dispense) and can save you from replacing multiple downstream parts. circuitboardmedics.com
-
Durable, precision-manufactured component built to GE's specifications for long-term reliability.
-
Cost-effective repair: replacing only the control board when it’s faulty is far less expensive than replacing the entire fridge or major modules.
-
Designed for professional installation—when compatibility is confirmed, the board simply swaps for old one with wiring, mounting, and harness intact.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Refrigerator/freezer is not cooling or runs continuously, even though compressor, fans and other hardware appear okay. circuitboardmedics.com+1
-
Display panel or dispenser interface is unresponsive or only partially functioning, suggesting control logic fault.
-
Defrost cycle failure (ice accumulation in freezer) or frequent short-cycling of compressor.
-
Water or ice dispenser fails (no water/ice, or erratic behavior) despite filter and supply being good — sometimes the board fails to activate valves.
If you see any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify wiring, sensors and harnesses as well, to ensure that WR49X10152 is the correct part to replace.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire model number of the refrigerator (including suffix letters) is critical — two visually similar refrigerators may use different control boards with different harness connectors or firmware. geapplianceparts.com
-
Replacing the board will fix logic/control-related issues only if the rest of the system (sensors, wiring, compressor, fans) is functioning properly. If those components are faulty, replacement of the board alone may not resolve the problem.
-
Installation should be performed with power disconnected. The technician should record harness positions, remove old board, mount the new one, reconnect all wiring securely, restore power and test.
-
After installation, monitor the refrigerator through at least one full cooling + defrost cycle and verify dispenser/ice maker function (if applicable) for correct operation.
