Very good! This video helped a lot in that same exact issue. Just to point out that same problem (ice accumulation) can be due to a defective thermostat, heating element and/or defective thermal sensor. The fix would be different, off course. My doubt is how did you determine it was the board and not the other parts?
What if I put the board into service mode and the first test shows a "0" instead of an "S"? Does that mean I need anew thermostat instead of a control board?
Do you offer your trouble shooting services. Our jazz board has done this before and is doing it tonight. It is displaying a (-) symbol for both the freezer and refrigerator temp settings and both fridge and freezer are not cooling. We reset it before but I can’t remember the sequence for the (-) symbols. Unplugging hasn’t worked so far
my whirlpool has this jazz board. The defrost heater comes on and stays on for a complete defrost like it should but only in forced defrost mode. it will not automatically defrost, but putting it into forced mode once daily and letting it run works fine. so why??? A. The defrost heater and defrost thermostat are working properly. B. The control board IO and relays are working properly. the only thing left is the software on the board is not commanding the defrost mode automatically. Seems like they are purposely programmed to fail every 2 years like clockwork so you have to buy a new one. Forced defrost mode and automatic defrost mode both use the same IO on the board and the same exact physical hardware is used to complete a cycle. So not automatically doing this proves to me it is intentional software programming preventing or turning off the automatic defrosting of the refrigerator causing wasted electricity and spoiled food. am i missing something here???
This video has saved my bacon more than once. As a tech ... I'm your biggest fan! I can never remember the sequence

Great question that I would also like to know but I changed my thermostat and it still reads "0"
Great information and well done video
