Thanks for your answers. I didn't realize the seemingly erratic flashing "hrs" was an error code. It was the main control board. I ordered a replacement from GE, installed it and now it works fine.

Had a freezer control board go out like 1 week after warranty expired. Living in middle of nowhere I was looking at $100 just for the service guy to come out for a diagnosis.

Well, he did come out, took one look at it, advised I order control board off Amazon and left. No charge. He said he'd eventually make his money off me with future stuff anyway.

That was now about 8-9 years ago and only problem was when I spent 6 months working away from home. Lost freezer FULL of meat, fish, chicken, veggies when power surged and tripped breaker so freezer stayed without power for full month at least before I got back. (meats/fish had liquefied, puddle of proteins leaked out onto floor even) Took 3 months + to get that rotted flesh smell out, most people and websites said to just trash it and buy new. It's fine now

sorry i didn't get back the '06 monogram I worked on was a defrost issue.
I didn't get pics of the electronics but sounds like you have it all taken care of.

I don't carry any control boards except for GE fridge control boards. That's how often I change them.
I hope you didn't pay more than $150 for the board.

Was it a 10942 or a 10560? The manufacturer usually has a high mark up. Sometimes though they sell the parts to customers at wholesale.
