We have a ~10-year old GE Profile Refrigerator/Freezer (PTS22LCS) which, aside from frost-build up, has been relatively trouble free during its life. On Sunday, I opened it up and the temperature displays were totally dark, and the fridge warmer than expected. The only thing that seemed to be working was the interior light. No bueno. Unplugged it for a few hours on the "have you turned it off and on again" theory, meanwhile, Google research seems to point to a dead motherboard. Opened the motherboard panel, no obvious damage, no blown caps or anything; seems simple to replace, a few harnesses and screws. Found the replacement part with express shipping for $150 from Walmart of all places. Go figure. Randomly plugged it back in, it made a few "clicks," and now is running fine since Sunday night. Let it be? Swap the new motherboard? Return the replacement part? I feel like HAL is trying to trick me into going outside to ship..
