Fridge was freezing food
First off, about 5 months ago I bought a replacement diffuser but it didn't help. So, I bought the control board and another diffuser just in case.
1. I removed all items and shelves from the fridge and freezer.
2. I removed screws holding the diffuser in place and the wire guards in place in the fridge.
3. I removed the back panel in the freezer and the airflow channel to the icemaker at the top of the freezer.
4. I carefully removed the diffuser by going from the freezer side and pushing in four small retainer brackets in the air channel to the diffuser.
5. I replaced the diffuser and plugged it into the wiring, and then put the little thermostat back into the housing and then moved on to the control unit.
6. I removed screws holding the control unit in place, and lowered it down to get a look. I removed three screws holding a retaining plastic barrier in place, so that I could see the circuit board.
7. I carefully unplugged all of the connections, then moved the plastic clips to remove the circuit board.
8. Then I installed the new circuit board and hooked up the wires, and then put the plastic cover back on.
9. Then I put everything back together with the correct screws, and made sure everything was in place.
10. I put three cups of water in the fridge, one on top shelf, one on the middle, one on the bottom.
11. Set the controls for 4 which was the default setting. Then I closed up the fridge for 3 days. The water in the cups did not freeze.
12. My wife was happy, I only spent about $300 or so including overnight shipping, and I did the repair myself. No problem.
13. One thing that helped was taking pictures with my digital camera as I went along so that I would remember how to put things back together, just in case the scotch made the memory foggy.

The refridgerator would freeze food and drinks on the refridgerator side. The motor just kept going non-stop
I removed the Electronic Control cover. Unplugged the wire connectors. Then unscrewed the control module from its casing. I pryed the control circut board from the plastic clips. I replaced the circut board. I did not have to replace the plastic control pad. This took me less than 20 minutes.
