How to fix it

  1. Verify the replacement control part number matches the model/serial tag.
  2. Enter the service / diagnostic mode for the model and set the model ID per the tech sheet.
  3. Cycle power and confirm the code clears.
  4. If wrong part is installed, return and order the correct board.
  5. If correct and programmed but code returns, inspect UI-to-control harness.
