Thread: Whirlpool ice level optics control board

  1. #1

    Whirlpool ice level optics control board

    Model Number: ED5LHAXMB 00
    Brand: Whirlpool
    Age: 6-10 years

    I ordered the ice level optics control board from partsdr. and I just received it. It comes with a 2 page instruction sheet. Page 1 gives me step by step diagnostic steps and mine seems I needed to replace the emitter & receiver boards which I just received. However on page 2 it is entitled "component diagnostics mode" and has steps to" run optics diagnostic test mode first". My question is do I need to do page 2 instructions, or can I just replace the boards? Help!!!

    If your refrigerator didn't pass the tests on the first page, then the optics are bad and need to be replaced. The second page is to do further diagnostics... but no sense it doing that if it didn't pass the first tests.

    I have a Whirlpool gsf26c5exb00. The optic light wouldn't come on at all. So I ordered W10518659 & W10518658 from you guys, the emitter and receiver optic boards. The light came on for a second and then went out again. Are my parts bad?
