200D4850G022 GE Refrigerator Main Control Board: WR55X10942C Cross-Reference, Symptoms and Install Guide
GE fridge not cooling, clicking, or not defrosting? This is the board behind it. Which number to order by, every compatible model, five checks before you buy, and the swap.
The 200D4850G022 main control board controls the compressor, fans, and defrost cycle in GE side-by-side refrigerators. If your GE refrigerator is not cooling, the freezer works but the fridge is warm, or it clicks and will not start, this board is the usual cause once the cheaper parts check out. 200D4850G022 is the number on your board's sticker; GE sells it under service number WR55X10942C, and the section below covers which one to order by. Send us a photo of your board sticker if you want it confirmed first.
Even if you end up calling a tech, these checks mean you can tell them exactly what you found, which usually shortens the visit and the bill.
WR55X10942C vs 200D4850G022: Which Number Do You Order By?
200D4850G022 is the production number printed on your GE control board's sticker. WR55X10942C is GE's service number for the same part. Match the 200D number on your sticker for an exact fit.
GE runs two numbering systems on this part. The production number, 200D4850G022, is stamped on the board at the factory and identifies that exact version. The service number, WR55X10942C, is what GE ships and what retailers list, and it sits above the production numbers, so one WR number can cover several versions. Search WR55X10942C to find this board in stock, then confirm the sticker on your old board reads 200D4850G022 before you order.
This is not a universal board. It is a direct replacement for the part number printed on your original board. Boards that look identical may be programmed differently, so match your sticker first.

Not listed? Run your model through the check above and use its buttons; a missing model is not the same as incompatible.
Wherever it fits, the board sits in the same place: behind the access cover on the back panel.
This model list is for reference only. GE may change boards between production runs, so two refrigerators with the same model number can use different boards. Always order by the part number printed on your original board, it is the only identifier that decides. This board turns up across the BSS, ESS, ESH, ESL, GBS, GDL, GDS, GSC, GSF, GSH, GSL, GSS, GST, GTH, GTS, HSH, HSM, HSS, HST, MSS, PDS, PSC, PSI, PSR, PSS, SSL and STS prefixes, so any model starting with those is worth checking.
GE Refrigerator Not Cooling or Clicking: Is It the 200D4850G022 or Something Cheaper?
The 200D4850G022 controls the compressor, fans and defrost cycle, so it fails on several fronts at once. One dead function usually means that one part failed. Rule out the thermistors, defrost parts, start relay and fans before you order.
Unplug the refrigerator before you take any panel off. These are the complaints that bring people to this board.
- GE refrigerator not cooling but freezer works
- GE fridge will not cool at all and the outlet is live
- Thick frost behind the rear freezer panel, defrost not working
- GE refrigerator clicking every few minutes, then quiet
- Dead refrigerator after a power outage or surge
- Ice maker and water dispenser stop as the fridge warms up
Many of the refrigerators this board fits have no digital display, so there is no code to read. Diagnose by symptom. If your model does have a display, treat any code as a place to start testing.
Let's verify it is the board by checking the common parts that contribute to these failures. They are inexpensive, easy to check, and ruling them out means you order once, with confidence.
The sticker on the board carries the production number, and that decides which board you need. Read it in place, before any packaging is opened.
As far as we have seen, this board goes in GE refrigerators with a conventional single-speed compressor. An inverter-driven compressor runs a different control setup, so this check is worth thirty seconds.
The thermistors tell the board how cold it is inside. When one shorts or opens, the board makes a bad decision on bad information, and that is not the board's fault. They cost little and fail often, so we clear them first.
The board schedules defrost. It does not do the heating. The cycle needs a heater passing current, a fuse that has not blown and a sensor still reporting. Lose one and the freezer packs with frost.
A weak start relay is easy to mistake for a dead board. It makes the compressor try and give up, which sounds just like a board that lost the compressor. An iced evaporator fan leaves a cold freezer over a warm fridge; a dead condenser fan leaves it running all day.
Even if the fan turns out to be your culprit today, it has been working the board hard for months. Keep a spare on the shelf and a warm fridge becomes a fifteen-minute swap instead of a week of coolers.
How Do You Replace a GE Refrigerator Main Control Board (200D4850G022)?
The 200D4850G022 sits behind the access cover on the back of a GE refrigerator. Most installs take 15-30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Unplug the refrigerator and walk it out far enough to stand behind it. Nine screws hold the access cover; four tabs hold the board. Photograph it with every plug connected, touch the metal frame to discharge static, then release each plug by its latch, press in the four tabs and lift the board off. Fit the new one, reconnect from your photo, and set the ground wire eyelet so the cover screw passes through it into the chassis.
Why Is Your Fridge Still Not Cooling After the Board Swap?
A new 200D4850G022 that changes nothing usually means the real fault is still there. Check the thermistors, the ground eyelet and every plug before you judge it.
Check the new board against your photo
This service part consolidates roughly seventy older versions, so a later label or different printing can show up. Size, connector layout and mounting points should still line up with the board you removed.
Put the ground back under the cover screw
The ground wire eyelet has to sit so the cover screw passes through it into the chassis, and on a revised board it does not always land where the old one did. If the ground is not remade, the board acts dead.
Go back to the thermistors
A sensor stuck open or short hands the new board the same bad reading it gave the old one. A good board looks faulty when the sensor feeding it is bad.
Every plug back where it came from
Connectors here are similar in size and keying, and a plug one position across behaves like a dead board.
Still stuck?
Give the refrigerator several hours at a normal setting, then contact our team before you return anything.
How Do You Help Your New Control Board Last?
Surges, heat and moisture are the main threats to a GE refrigerator main control board. Three quick checks while the back panel is off protect your new 200D4850G022.
While you are back there, three quick checks help your new board live a long life.
- Put the refrigerator on surge protection. Lightning, a utility fault or a generator changeover sends a spike straight through the board, and repeated short outages are harder on it than one long one. A surge protector rated for a large appliance is cheap insurance.
- Clean the condenser coil. A coil packed with dust makes the compressor and both fans run longer and hotter, and the board runs hot with them. Pull the lower grille, vacuum the coil and shroud, and check the condenser fan spins freely.
- Check the door seals and the drain. A tired gasket keeps the refrigerator running non-stop. A blocked defrost drain or a weeping water valve puts moisture into the board housing, so wipe it dry and look for staining before you close up.
Which Parts Are Worth Replacing While the Fridge Is Open?
Several GE refrigerator parts sit behind the same panel as the 200D4850G022. Replacing a tired one now saves pulling the refrigerator out twice.

What Else Do People Ask About the 200D4850G022?
These answers cover the WR55X10942C number swap and what to check if your 200D4850G022 replacement does not match. They also cover inverter compressors and what to do with a WR55X number on your old board.
Why does searching 200D4850G022 bring up so few results?
Because GE sells this board under its service number, WR55X10942C. Search that to find it in stock. 200D4850G022 is the number printed on the white sticker on your board, so match your sticker for an exact fit.
Is 200D4850G022 the same board as WR55X10942C?
They are the two numbers GE puts on this part. 200D4850G022 is the production number on the board itself. WR55X10942C is the service number GE ships it under, and it sits above the production numbers, so it can cover more than one version. Go by the sticker on your board. If it reads 200D4850G022 you have an exact match.
My replacement board looks different from the one I took out. Is it wrong?
Probably not, but it is worth checking before you install it. Size, connector layout and mounting points should still line up with the board you removed. Compare it against your photo, and if it does not line up, email us a photo of the board you removed with all of its stickers along with a photo of the one that arrived.
My old board says WR55X, not 200D. Which number do I go by?
Either number gets you here. This service part covers a long run of earlier GE boards, from WR49X10060 and WR55X10024 through WR55X10942 and WR55X11036. If your sticker shows one of those, this is your board. If not, use the free check above, because your refrigerator may take a different part.
Will this board work on a refrigerator with an inverter compressor?
As far as we have seen, this board goes in GE refrigerators with a conventional single-speed compressor. An inverter-driven compressor runs a different control setup, so it is worth thirty seconds to check. Look behind the lower back panel for a separate inverter or drive box. If yours has one, check with us before you order.
Does the 200D4850G022 need programming after I install it?
On these boards it goes in as a straight swap. We have not run into a jumper or a setup step on a standard replacement. Some models may require a firmware update after installation, and firmware changes should be performed by a qualified technician. Give the refrigerator several hours at a normal setting before you judge it. Any board that has been flashed, reprogrammed, or had its firmware altered is not eligible for return or warranty coverage.
My GE refrigerator is completely dead. Is that enough to say it is the board?
It is one of the stronger signs, but check two things first. A dead refrigerator points equally at the board and at a compressor that cannot start. Prove the outlet, then listen at the back: repeated attempts that fade out point at the start relay. If about 120 volts arrives at the board and nothing happens downstream, and the thermistors and fans check out, you need a replacement main control board.
