The old guy at the parts counter in Dayton talked me out of swapping whole boards
For years my go-to on a dead control board was to just order a new one and move on, faster money and less headache. Last month I was at a parts counter in Dayton picking up a fridge board when the guy behind the counter, must have been 70, asked me what the old board was doing. I said it was dead, and he pulled out a little magnifier and showed me a burnt trace near the relay, said nine times out of ten it's that one spot and a $4 relay. I laughed at first but he was dead right, I swapped the relay at the customer's house and the fridge fired right up. Since then I've been testing relays and caps before ordering boards, and this week alone I saved two customers about $180 each in parts. Now I keep a bag of common relays in the van. Any of you still swapping whole boards on these, or did you make this change too?
