I have been given 3 side by side refrigerator /freezers in the last two months just to get them out of peoples way due to them not working.
Having been in the business for many years, I repaired these three side by sides for cheap money. All they needed was the overload /relay kit to get them up and running.
However, last week I was given a newer side by side. Again, to get it out of someone's way.
Got it home to find out it had a bad /burnt circuit board on the back .
It will cost me $150.00 to replace the board.
It seems the manufacture has figured out we are able to repaid the older types, and have now installed circuit boards
