DA92-00111B: What Number Do You Match on a Samsung Main Control Board?
Samsung prints the full production number on a white label on the board. Match it character by character, including any letters at the end, before you order.
A later production run can carry a slightly different label or printing even when the part is correct. Size, connector layout and mounting points still need to line up with the board you removed. If anything looks off, stop and send us both photos: the board that came out with all of its stickers, and the one that arrived.
This is not a universal main control board - it is a direct replacement for the part number printed on your original board. Boards that look identical can be programmed differently, so always match the number on the sticker.
Which Samsung Refrigerators Use the DA92-00111B Main Control Board?
Not listed? A missing model is not the same as incompatible. Go by the sticker on your old board, or use the check above and send us a photo.
The board sits at the back of the unit, behind the rear panel. This model list is for reference only. Samsung 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.
Opened or installed boards may carry a restocking and retesting fee, so compare the sticker before you open the anti-static bag. Hold yours next to DA92-00111B and check it character by character.
Samsung Refrigerator Not Cooling or Display Dead: Is It the DA92-00111B?
These checks help you rule out the common causes before you order. Only a qualified technician on site can confirm the fault in your refrigerator. Unplug the refrigerator before you take any panel off, and stop at any step you are not comfortable with.
This board family does not carry a published error code chart, so work through the checks below by symptom instead of a code.
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.
Confirm the sticker number
Read the full production number on the board before you open anything else. If it reads DA92-00111B, this is your part.
Check for loose connectors
Unplug the unit and look at every plug on the board. A connector that has walked partway out can mimic a dead board.
Test the temperature sensors
A shorted or open sensor hands the board bad information and the board acts on it, and that is not the board's fault. Compare each sensor's reading against the wiring and test chart packed inside the appliance.
Confirm power is reaching the board
With the unit plugged in, check for line voltage at the board's power input. No voltage shifts the problem upstream to the outlet or harness, not the board.
Rule out a demo or cooling-off setting
Some Samsung refrigerators have a demo or showroom mode that stops cooling on purpose. Check your owner's manual for the button combination to exit it before you replace anything.
Once the sticker, the connectors, the sensors and the power supply all check out, the board is what is left. You need a replacement main control board, and you order it once. A sensor or connector that failed quietly may have stressed the board for months before it finally gave out. Keep a spare on the shelf and a dead fridge becomes a same-day fix instead of a week without cooling.
How Do You Replace a Samsung Refrigerator Main Control Board (DA92-00111B)?
Repair times and difficulty levels are general estimates and may vary by model, tool availability, and experience. This is provided as general guidance only and is not a substitute for professional service. Food is normally fine during a typical install, but we highly recommend moving it to a cooler with ice as a precaution - Appliance Pro USA is not responsible for lost or spoiled food.
Disconnect power at the wall and pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access. Give it a few minutes before you touch anything inside.
Remove the screws holding the rear access panel and set them aside. The board sits behind it.
Shoot the board with all connectors still attached. This photo is your map for reinstalling.
Ground yourself on the chassis first. Pull each connector straight out by the plug body, not the wires.
Release the mounting points holding the board in place and lift it clear. Keep it until the new board is confirmed working.
Seat the new board on the same mounting points and reconnect each plug from your photo. Each connector only fits one way.
- ✓I read the full sticker number before ordering
- ✓I checked every connector for a solid seat
- ✓I tested the temperature sensors against the tech sheet
- ✓I confirmed power is reaching the board
- ✓I photographed the old board before I pulled a single plug
On this board it goes in as a straight swap. We have not seen a programming step needed after a standard replacement. Give the refrigerator a few hours at a normal setting before you judge it. The 5-mil nitrile gloves in the box give grip and some protection, but they are not cut-proof. Hold the board by its edges and mind the sheet-metal edges of the cover.
Still Not Cooling After You Replace the DA92-00111B?
Clicks and relay sounds are normal. The compressor may stay off for several minutes as a protection delay.
Fans run, compressor hums, and cold air shows up in the freezer first.
Both sections reach near set temperature. Do not load warm groceries before this.
Temperatures stabilize and the ice maker resumes. Now decide whether anything is wrong.
Once power is back on, the board compartment is live. Do not reach into it or reseat a plug with the refrigerator plugged in. Unplug first, every time.
Compare the new board to your photo
Connector layout and mounting points should match the board you removed. Send us a photo if something looks different.
Recheck every plug
A connector seated one position off behaves like a dead board. Go back through your photo and confirm each one.
Retest the sensors
A sensor that was marginal on the old board hands the new board the same bad reading. Check each one against the tech sheet.
Confirm power at the new board
Measure for line voltage at the board's input with the unit plugged in. No voltage means the fault is upstream, not in the board.
Give it time before you judge it
A refrigerator needs several hours to pull down to temperature after any power interruption. Wait before deciding anything is wrong.
The troubleshooting steps above are general guidance only and may not apply to every model or situation. If you are unable to resolve the issue after following these steps, we recommend contacting our team or consulting a qualified appliance technician before taking further action.
How Do You Help the DA92-00111B Last?
Surge protection
A power spike from a storm or a utility fault runs straight through the board. A basic surge protector on the outlet is cheap insurance.
Keep connectors seated
Vibration loosens plugs over time. A quick check every so often catches a problem before it strands you.
Watch for moisture
A leaking water line or a blocked drain near the back panel can reach the board. Keep that area dry.
What Else Is Worth Checking While the Panel Is Off?
Temperature sensors Check first
Inexpensive and already exposed once the panel is off. A marginal sensor makes a good board look bad.
Wiring harness and connectors While it's open
Already in view during the swap. A frayed or loose connector reproduces board symptoms.
Rear access panel fasteners If damaged
Worth a replacement if a screw is stripped or missing from past service work.
Power cord and plug Quick check
Easy to check once the unit is pulled out. Wear here can read as a dead board upstream.

What Else Do People Ask About the DA92-00111B?
Why does searching DA92-00111B turn up so little?
Samsung has not issued a separate service number for this part, so the sticker number is the only number in circulation. Search DA92-00111B directly and match it against your board's full sticker.
What ships in the box with the DA92-00111B?
The board sealed in an anti-static bag, the Quick Start Guide, a pair of 5-mil nitrile install gloves, and the warranty registration card.
My replacement board looks different from the one I took out. Is it wrong?
Stop and compare size, connector layout and mounting points against the board you removed. Send us a photo of the board you removed with all of its stickers and a photo of the one that arrived, and we will confirm before you install it.
I ordered the wrong board. What now?
Leave the bag sealed and contact us first. An exchange is the fastest path. Opened or installed boards may carry a restocking and retesting fee.
Does the DA92-00111B need programming or setup after I install it?
On this board it goes in as a straight swap. Give the refrigerator a few hours at a normal setting before you judge the fix. Any board that has been flashed, reprogrammed, or had its firmware altered is not eligible for return or warranty coverage.
My Samsung refrigerator is completely dead. Is it the board?
Check the outlet and the breaker first. If power is confirmed at the outlet and nothing inside responds, the DA92-00111B is a strong candidate.
Can a bad sensor really make a good board look bad?
Yes. A shorted or open sensor feeds the board bad information, and the board acts on what it is told. Test the sensors against the tech sheet before you replace the board.
