EBR30299302 LG Refrigerator Main Control Board, the Dispenser Half of a 30-Inch French Door Family Whose Boards Differ by One Digit
Part EBR30299302 is the LG refrigerator main control board catalogued by the manufacturer as a main PCB assembly, and it belongs to a 30-inch French door bottom-freezer family that LG built in two versions. One version has a water dispenser in the left door and a factory-fitted ice maker. The other has neither. Those two versions share a cabinet, a capacity and a single owner's manual, and they do not share a main board. The dispensing cabinets take this number. The plain cabinets take the number one digit below it. Both are built on the same bare circuit board carrying the same printed number, so the only thing separating them in your hand is the applied label. This guide covers how to tell which half of the family you own before you touch a screwdriver, what the documented fitment is, and which complaints on these cabinets are not board complaints at all.
What Does a Failing EBR30299302 Look Like on a Dispensing LG French Door Cabinet?
Commonly reported signs of an EBR30299302 fault include a cabinet that will not hold temperature in either compartment, a compressor or evaporator fan that never runs, a defrost cycle that stops happening until frost blocks the rear panel, a door display that goes blank or unresponsive, and a fault readout that returns straight after a power cycle.
This board is the cabinet's decision maker. It reads the compartment sensors, decides when to call for cooling, times the defrost interval, runs the fans, and drives the dispenser and ice hardware that this half of the family carries. A failure therefore rarely shows up as one broken thing. It shows up as several functions drifting out of step with each other at the same time.
- Fresh food section and freezer drawer both warming while the cabinet still has power and light
- Compressor or evaporator fan that never starts, or starts and stops without settling into a normal run
- Heavy frost building on the rear freezer panel because defrost is no longer being timed
- Door display blank, frozen, or refusing button presses while the interior light still works
- A two character fault readout that reappears within moments of unplugging and plugging back in
- Water and ice functions dead at the same time as a temperature problem rather than on their own

Which Number on Your Board Identifies an EBR30299302, and Which Number Misleads?
Independent parts records list the bare circuit board under EBR30299302 as EAX66726313, and that same silkscreen appears under the neighbouring assembly one digit below. A number read off the green board material therefore identifies the family, not the part. Only the applied label carries the assembly number that decides which of the two you are holding.
This short video shows how to find and read the label on an appliance control board and how to confirm a part before packaging is opened. On this number the detail that matters is which surface you read. The number etched into the green board is shared across the family, so a photograph of the board material cannot answer the question. The white label applied over it carries the eleven character assembly number, and only its final character separates the dispensing cabinets from the plain ones. Installation guidance is included in the Quick Start Guide shipped with every order.
Which Complaints Belong to This Main Board, and Which Belong to the Water and Ice Hardware?
On these dispensing cabinets the useful split is between functions that stop together and functions that stop alone. A main board fault usually takes several unrelated systems down at once. A single dead function with everything else normal almost always belongs to the component that performs it, not to the board that commands it.
Read each row as a direction to test in rather than a verdict. The board carries the dispenser and ice loads on this half of the family, which is exactly why a water or ice complaint gets blamed on it more often than it deserves. The pattern that matters is whether anything else went wrong at the same time.
| Symptom | What It May Indicate | Recommended Next Step | Board? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neither compartment holds temperature, lights and display still normal | Cooling is being commanded and not delivered, or not being commanded at all | Confirm both fans actually run, then check both compartment sensors before ordering. A board that has lost its sensor inputs behaves exactly like one that has failed outright. | Common |
| Heavy frost on the rear freezer panel with weak airflow | Defrost timing has stopped, or the heater circuit is open | Test the defrost heater, the thermal fuse and the defrost sensor first. The board times the cycle, but three cheaper parts have to work for the cycle to finish. | Defrost parts first |
| Door display blank or unresponsive, cabinet still cooling normally | The display assembly or its harness rather than the cabinet logic | Reseat the display harness at both ends and inspect the run through the door hinge, where flexing wiring fails. Unaffected cooling argues against the main board. | Display side |
| Water dispenser dead but ice making and cooling both normal | The dispenser switch, the water valve, or a frozen supply line | Check for a frozen line in the door first, then the inlet valve. A single dead function with everything else healthy is the classic non-board pattern. | None |
| Ice maker not filling while water dispenses normally | The ice maker assembly or its fill valve solenoid | Water reaching the dispenser proves the supply and one valve solenoid. That narrows the problem to the ice side rather than the board driving it. | None |
| Compressor never runs and no fan turns anywhere | No cooling command reaching any output stage | Confirm supply at the outlet, then check the harness from the board to the compartment. This is the pattern most worth taking seriously as a board fault. | Board-related |
| A fault readout returns instantly after a power cycle | A condition the cabinet is still detecting rather than a latched glitch | A readout that clears on a power cycle and stays away is usually transient. One that returns immediately describes something currently wrong, so trace the named component first. | Trace the code |
Where Does This Cabinet Show a Fault, and What Does the Readout Location Tell You?
On the dispensing cabinets this board serves, the temperature controls and the fault readout sit on the outside of the left door. On the non-dispensing cabinets in the same family, LG publishes the control as an inner top display inside the fresh food section. Where your readout lives is therefore a free first check on which half of the family you own.
This is the cheapest diagnostic on the page and it needs no tools. Published specifications for the dispensing models in this family describe electronic controls with a membrane and white LED display on the door, while the plain cabinets are published with an inner top display and no exterior panel of any kind. Service documentation for the family also describes a test routine started from a switch on the board itself, and notes it will not start while a fault readout is already showing. Procedures vary by model and revision, so treat any readout as a starting point and confirm meanings against the documentation for your own unit.
| What you can see without tools | What It May Indicate | Is It This Board? |
|---|---|---|
| Controls and readout on the outside of the left door | Consistent with the dispensing half of this cabinet family, which is the half this board serves | Right family |
| Controls on a panel inside the fresh food section, nothing on the door | Published for the non-dispensing cabinets in the same family, which take the assembly one digit below this one | Wrong number |
| A two character code followed by E on the door readout | Documentation for this family presents sensor and system faults in a two character plus E format, each pointing at a named component | Trace the named part |
| A freezer sensor fault indication | Documentation for this family works through a loose connector, a shorted sensor, an open sensor and an out of range resistance reading before it reaches the board | Sensor first |
| No readout at all while the cabinet stays warm | A cabinet that has stopped calling for cooling without detecting anything it recognises as a fault | Board-related |
| Readout appears, clears on a power cycle, and stays away | A transient condition rather than a hard failure, often a door left open or a supply interruption | Watch before buying |
| Readout returns the moment power is restored | A condition the cabinet is still measuring right now, which the named component should be tested for first | Test the named part |
| Buttons on the door respond but nothing changes in the cabinet | Commands are being accepted and not acted on, which is the pattern worth taking further | Board-related |
What Should Be Settled Before an EBR30299302 Is Worth Buying?
Before ordering an EBR30299302, settle four things: whether your controls are on the door or inside the cabinet, whether the applied label ends in the digit this part number ends in, whether both compartment sensors and the defrost circuit test correctly, and whether the fans physically turn. Three of the four cost nothing but time.
This family was built with and without a door dispenser, and the two versions take different main boards whose numbers differ only in the final character. Published specifications put the controls on the door for the dispensing version and on an inner top panel for the plain one, so the answer is visible from across the kitchen.
A board that has lost a sensor input cannot decide when to cool, and the cabinet behaves as though it has died. Service documentation for this family opens its sensor fault procedure with connector condition and resistance readings against a temperature table, and reaches the board only after those are ruled out. Sensors cost a fraction of a board and fail far more often.
Frost packing the rear freezer panel is the most common complaint on cabinets of this generation and it is usually not a logic fault. This assembly times the cycle, but the heater has to draw current, the fuse has to be intact and the defrost sensor has to report temperature before that cycle completes. Any one of the three failing suffocates airflow the same way.
An evaporator fan blocked by ice, or a condenser fan seized by dust, stops heat moving without any electronics being at fault, and the two look different from the front. A blocked evaporator fan gives a warm fresh food section with a cold freezer. A stalled condenser fan gives a cabinet that runs constantly and never gets properly cold.
The dispensing cabinets add a door dispenser, an inlet valve and a factory fitted ice maker that the plain cabinets do not have. Those parts fail on their own schedule, and their symptoms get attributed to the logic that commands them. A dead dispenser with a perfectly cold cabinet is almost never a main board problem.
How Much Work Is an EBR30299302 Swap, and Where Does the Board Live?
Replacing an EBR30299302 is a moderate repair that most people finish in about 30 to 45 minutes. On this cabinet family the main board sits in a control housing on the back of the refrigerator behind a screwed cover, so the unit has to be walked out from the wall far enough to work behind it before the board is reachable.
The board work itself is straightforward. The cover comes off with a few screws, the connectors release by latch, and the board lifts out of retaining clips. What takes the time is access and record keeping. Walk the cabinet out far enough to stand behind it comfortably, and photograph the board with every harness attached before releasing one, because connector positions are the part nobody remembers.
Does the EBR30299302 Fit Your LG Refrigerator?
Confirm an EBR30299302 by reading the applied label on your existing board to its final character. A model lookup is a starting point on this part rather than proof, because the cabinets that take this board and the cabinets that take the assembly one digit below share the same platform, the same manual and model codes that differ by only a couple of characters.

Which LG Refrigerator Models Take the EBR30299302 Main Control Board?
The EBR30299302 is documented against LG's 30-inch, roughly 22 cubic foot French door bottom-freezer cabinets fitted with a door water dispenser and a factory ice maker. The North American codes recorded most consistently are the LFDS22520S and the LCFS22EXS. Export codes in the GM-F223 range appear alongside them in more than one record.
Documented Across Several Independent Records
Export and Regional Codes, Recorded by More Than One Source
Listed by a Single Record, Confirm Against Your Label
Model codes here are shown in base form, without the production revision that normally follows a slash or a dot. Records carry the LFDS22520S under several revisions and the export codes under their own suffix scheme, which is a reminder that a revision suffix describes a production batch rather than a different part. The exclusion list matters as much as the inclusion list here. The LFC22770, LFCS22520, LFNS22520 and LRFNS2200 codes belong to the non-dispensing cabinets in this same family and are documented against the assembly one digit below, so a model code that looks close is not a match. If your rating plate reads something similar but not identical, send us a photograph of your board label and we will confirm it.

EBR30299302 Specifications and Cross-Reference Part Numbers
The EBR30299302 is catalogued by LG as a refrigerator main PCB assembly and described in parts records as the board that regulates compressor operation, cooling and defrost timing. The bare circuit board is recorded as EAX66726313. Cross references reported against it include AP6986092, PS12750421, EAP12750421, ALG54688 and 4962841.
| Manufacturer part number | EBR30299302. Catalogued through LG parts channels as a refrigerator main PCB assembly, and described in independent parts records as the cabinet's main power control assembly |
| Board type | Main control board. It is the cabinet's central logic assembly, not a dispenser board, not a display board and not a separate compressor drive |
| Bare board number | EAX66726313 is reported as the silkscreened circuit board number. The neighbouring assembly one digit below is reported on the same bare board, so this number identifies the family rather than the part |
| What it controls | Compartment sensor inputs, cooling calls and compressor operation, both fan motors, defrost cycle timing, the door control panel, and on this half of the family the water and ice hardware |
| Cabinet served | LG 30-inch French door bottom-freezer platform of roughly 22 cubic feet total, split near 14.5 cubic feet fresh food and 7.3 cubic feet freezer, with a door water dispenser and a factory fitted ice maker |
| Board location | Control housing on the back of the cabinet, behind a screwed cover. Commonly reported for this generation of LG refrigerator and consistent with our own product records |
| Cross references | AP6986092 is reported by more than one independent record. PS12750421, EAP12750421, ALG54688, PD00065764 and 4962841 appear in a single record each and should be treated as indicative |
| Sibling caution | EBR30299301 serves the non-dispensing cabinets in the same family. Records also show EBR30299303 and EBR30299304 as separate assemblies, so any number in this series is unconfirmed until the final character is read |
| Supply status | Still catalogued through official LG parts channels at the time of writing. No superseding number was found in any record we could reach |
| APU status | FailSafe Certified, 1-year warranty (registration required), same-day shipping* |
Is an EBR30299302 the Right Spend on a 30-Inch LG French Door Cabinet?
When the sensors, fans and defrost hardware have been cleared and the board is genuinely at fault, replacing an EBR30299302 is normally the least expensive route back to a working refrigerator, because the cabinet around it is a full size French door appliance whose replacement cost is an order of magnitude higher.
What your options typically cost
Fitted an EBR30299302 and the Refrigerator Still Is Not Right?
The commonly reported reasons a cabinet still misbehaves after an EBR30299302 replacement are a board bought against the wrong half of the family, a sensor or defrost fault that was the real cause all along, connectors returned to the wrong positions, and judging the result before the cabinet has had time to pull down.
Check which half of the family you ordered against
If the replacement arrived and the controls on your refrigerator are inside the fresh food compartment rather than on the door, the cabinet is a plain variant and takes the assembly one digit below this one. It will physically fit and it will not behave correctly.
Go back to the sensors before going back to the board
A shorted or open compartment sensor makes a new board behave exactly like the old one, because it is being fed the same impossible reading. This is the most common reason a correct part appears to have changed nothing.
Confirm the defrost circuit actually completes a cycle
A cabinet iced up before the repair does not clear itself. Frost blocking the evaporator will keep the fresh food section warm no matter which board is fitted, and an open heater or fuse means the cycle still cannot finish.
Return every connector to the position it came from
Several harnesses on this board are physically similar, and one moved by a single position produces behaviour that looks like a dead board. The photograph taken before removal is the fastest way back.
Give the cabinet time before deciding anything
A refrigerator warm for days does not come back in twenty minutes. Compartment temperatures fall slowly with the doors closed, and a freshly fitted board may run an extended first cycle before settling.
Still not working after all of the above?
Contact our team before returning anything. A brief conversation resolves the majority of post-install situations. We stand behind every board we sell and are here to help you get the result you need.
Which Other Parts on These Dispensing Cabinets Produce the Same Complaint?
Parts that produce a complaint resembling an EBR30299302 fault include the freezer and fresh food compartment sensors, the defrost heater with its thermal fuse and defrost sensor, the evaporator and condenser fan motors, the door display assembly, and the water inlet valve and ice maker this half of the family carries.

EBR30299302 LG Refrigerator Main Control Board, Frequently Asked Questions
These questions cover how to tell the dispensing cabinets from the plain ones without tools, why the number printed into the green board cannot identify the part, what the revision suffix after a model code means, whether the water and ice hardware makes this a dispenser board, and what has to be checked before this number is worth ordering.
How do I tell whether my refrigerator takes this board or the one a digit below it?
Look at where your temperature controls are. Published specifications put the controls and readout on the outside of the left door for the dispensing cabinets in this family, and on an inner top panel inside the fresh food section for the plain ones. Controls on the door alongside a water dispenser point at this part number. Controls inside the compartment point at a different assembly one digit below.
The green board in my refrigerator is printed EAX66726313. Is that this part?
It narrows it to the family and no further. That silkscreen is reported on the bare circuit board used under both assemblies in this pair, so reading it tells you which platform you are on rather than which board you are holding. The applied white label is the only surface that carries the assembly number, and only its final character separates the two.
My model code has a slash and two digits after it. Does that change the part?
Usually no. The characters after a slash or a dot describe a production revision of the same model rather than a different appliance, and records for this part carry the same base code under several revisions. Treat the revision as a way to reach the right parts diagram, not as evidence of a different board. If yours is not listed anywhere you can find, send us the label and we will check it.
Does this board handle the water dispenser and the ice maker, or is there a separate board for those?
On this half of the family the dispenser and the factory fitted ice maker are commanded by the cabinet's main logic rather than by a board of their own, which is part of why the two versions of this cabinet do not share a main board. That does not make a dead dispenser a board fault. A single water or ice function failing while cooling stays normal points at the valve, the switch or the ice maker assembly.
My freezer is full of frost and the fresh food side is warm. Should I order this board?
Not on that alone. Documentation for this cabinet family works through the defrost heater, the thermal fuse and the defrost sensor before it reaches the board, and all three are inexpensive parts that fail more often than the logic that times them. Clear the frost, test those three for continuity and resistance, and then decide.
Is the EBR30299302 discontinued, or has it been replaced by another number?
Every parts channel we could reach still lists it as a current, orderable assembly, and none of them recorded a superseding number. Records do show further assemblies in the same series above this one, so if you are working from a number written down rather than photographed, confirm the final character before you order anything.
