Help-Broken Kitchenaid Refrigerator - Built in

[n1ml]

Our built in Kitchenaid refrigerator, Model KSSC42QMS 01, is not working. We get a beep..beep alarm at one second intervals. The display appears to be continually resetting itself. The beep is the same beep you get when you press any of the buttons. I have tried power down, master reset per the book and pressing all the buttons. I think the electronic module "bought the farm". I'm prestty good at repairs over the years. Is the circuit board easy to get out? I'm guessing it is located behind the digital displays at the top of the inside right of the frig. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated as everthing is starting to get warm. I plan to call the parts guy in the AM. He has got me other Kitchenaid parts over the last few months.

I haven't had to deal with digital displays yet. Your assumptions sound good. Glad you referenced the book. Store that sells these maybe can help without sending someone out. I'd imagine you can access and change out yourself if nobody offers reset/reprogram advise that works.

Kitchenaid I think is made by Whrilpool and they are good about putting a tech sheet in machine someplace, Not sure where they put it in refig. but washing machines they put behind panels or under top. Should not have to take off more than a inspection panel or toe plate to find. Tech sheets usually have test to do in them.

I found the sheets. That was a great hint. I got the display board and that was not the problem. The parts guy told me it was the control/display. I tried to get into the test mode but it won't go. I am real sure it is the control board with about 50 wires going in and out. It's the one I should have replaced first, live and learn. I have a spare display board now. The control board looks like the source of the problem. It comes in on Tuesday.

Hello. I have a KSSC42QMS 02 which is about 2 1/2 years old. About two weeks ago it started doing the same thing. There is a beeping noise from the top (like a smoke detector with low batteries) and the digital display blinks on and off with the beeps. Beyond that the fridge seems to be cooling and working fine. Please post a solution if you find one.

How old is your fridge? I am wondering if this would be covered in their limited warranty from years 3-6.
