Fans and lights run normally but the compressor stays silent and never cycles on, causing the fridge and freezer to warm up. The inverter board fails to convert 120V AC input to the 230V 3-phase AC output needed to start and run the compressor.
Interior temperature climbs above safe levels (above 40°F fridge / 0°F freezer) even though the evaporator fans and condenser fans are operational. A failed inverter board stops the compressor from running, halting all cooling.
The refrigerator cycles between warm and cool inconsistently. A deteriorating inverter board may intermittently fail to start or sustain the compressor, resulting in erratic temperature swings.
Visible burn marks, scorch discoloration, or a brown/silver-dollar-sized burn spot on the inverter housing indicates internal overheating or component failure, requiring immediate replacement to prevent damage to the compressor.



💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Inverter Board
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator and freezer not cooling, but fans and lights are running normally
⚠️ Compressor is silent / not starting despite 120V AC present at the inverter input
⚠️ Visible burn mark, scorch, or soot on the inverter board housing or PCB
⚠️ Main control board J15 port reads 10–12 VDC (disconnected) but compressor never starts
🔬 Quick test: With all wires connected, measure the PWM signal at the inverter input connector — a healthy main board sends 4–6 VDC. If that voltage is present but the compressor still won't run, the inverter board is the likely failure. Also verify compressor winding resistance (~6–10 ohms across any two terminals) to rule out a locked compressor before ordering.
