Went with a universal control board over a factory one for a GE fridge last week...

Had a 2017 French door model where the main board was shot. Genuine GE part was gonna run $210 and take 10 days to ship. I grabbed a $65 universal board from a supply house in Cleveland instead. Took me about 90 minutes to wire it up and it's been humming along fine for 5 days now. Anyone else take the gamble on universals for newer fridges?

Give it a full freezer cycle before you call it a win. Those universals can act up under a heavy load.

Five days isn't really a long enough test to call it a win yet. Give it a few months before you start bragging about skipping the OEM part.
