How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before handling the control board.
Steps:
- Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug back in.
- Surge protection: If the issue followed a storm or outage, consider using a surge protector rated for refrigerators.
- Replace control board: If the F9 code returns immediately and the refrigerator will not operate normally, replace the main control board with the correct Crosley part number.
- Professional service: Firmware reprogramming is typically not field-serviceable; board replacement is the standard repair.
