Missing Model# on Kenmore Elite Refrigerator

[rjtech]

My customer has a Kenmore Elite French door refrigerator that needs a new control board. For some reason all of the identification has been removed and very challenging finding parts. My area supply houses couldn't find any matches. Based on the numbers on the board it looks to be an LG.  Talking to LG was a waste of time and energy. Any thoughts?

Any numbers on the gray plastic, other side?

I didn't see any but I could have missed them.  I had to reinstall it back in the frig so they would at least have something for the time being.

Kenmore Elite would be LG built. However if the model number is missing, that usually denotes a store return that should have been destroyed, and not for resale. Did they buy this new, or from an outlet store or something?

They said they bought it from a friend for $1000.

Did you check the sides and back of the fridge? Sometimes there's a sticker with the model #. What about the tech sheet?

Every bit of info was removed..even the stickers on the back were riped off.

The only other option would be to find the original purchasers phone number and i could look it up in NPS.

They don't know where their friend got it from.  For all I know it fell off the back of a truck...mafia style.

It was probably junked by a $ears store and someone at the appliance recycler "recycled it" into their own kitchen..

look on the opposite side of that board near the relay for loose soldier joint. You might get lucky like I did.

What is the problem your having?

That sure looks to be a Front control panel for a LG BUILT Kenmore fridge. Part numbers change very frequently and I personally can NOT get any of those pulled up. Are the segments on the LCD fading?

With no luck getting a new board the only thing I was able to do was get it rebuilt but the customer didn't want to be without a frig for up to 2 weeks. So they have decided to get a new one instead.  Thanks for all the help and ideas!!
