Common freezer repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these freezer parts may fix your problem.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
If your freezer's display is not functioning, a faulty electronic control board might be the culprit. This board receives power from the power cord or power supply board and transmits signals to the control panel. When the control panel shows no signs of life, it could be due to a malfunctioning electronic control board failing to send signals or power. Issues like a faulty relay or corrupted internal logic can hinder the operation of the electronic control board. To address this, schedule a visit from a Sears Home Services Technician to inspect and repair your freezer's malfunctioning display. The technician will conduct diagnostic tests on the electronic control board and replace it if necessary.
Power Supply Board Replacement
If the power supply board is malfunctioning, your freezer won't turn on. Consequently, it won't cool, and the interior and display lights won't illuminate. Additionally, if your freezer features an electronic door lock, it may not engage properly, leading to incomplete door closure. This issue arises because the power supply board in the freezer facilitates the connection between the incoming power from your home's electrical supply and the internal components of the freezer. It also distributes power from the control board to various freezer components. Moreover, a faulty power supply board may fail to safeguard the freezer against power surges, potentially causing harm to electronic components like the main control board. If your freezer isn't powering up, it's advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional examine it and, if necessary, replace the power supply board.
User Interface Replacement
A malfunctioning user interface in a freezer prevents you from adjusting settings like the desired temperature. When the user interface fails, communication between the main control board and the interface is disrupted, resulting in improper or no display of settings and status. If you suspect a faulty user interface, it's recommended to have a Sears Home Services professional examine the freezer and replace the interface if needed.

Understanding the exact cause is vital for determining the cost of the repair.
Sears Home Services recommendations for fixing a freezer display that is not working

To prevent replacing unnecessary parts, we advise having a Sears Home Services expert conduct diagnostic tests to pinpoint the issue's origin. Our technicians possess extensive experience in diagnosing various freezer malfunctions.
What to watch for with a freezer display not working diagnosis
Understanding and diagnosing modern appliances without adequate expertise can pose challenges. Attempting to resolve freezer issues without employing accurate diagnostic methods may result in merely swapping out parts without certainty. Over the past decade, appliances have evolved significantly, with many now incorporating intricate electronic components that are challenging to assess. As a result, do-it-yourself repairs on the latest appliance models are progressively becoming more complex.
