EBR41531306 LG Refrigerator Main Control Board, the Top Mount Assembly Whose Documented Fitment Is Almost Entirely Kenmore
Part EBR41531306 is an LG built main control board, and the first useful thing to know about it is whose name is on the door. Independent parts records document this assembly against roughly ninety refrigerator codes. Eighty eight of them begin 795, the prefix Sears used for Kenmore appliances. The LG badged coverage amounts to the LTC22350 top mount in two finishes plus a short list of export designations. Most people who need this board are therefore standing in front of a Kenmore cabinet, holding a model tag that will never appear on an LG model list. That is still the right board, and this guide shows how to prove it.
What Does a Failing EBR41531306 Look Like in a Kitchen With No Code Display?
On the top mount cabinets this board serves there is usually no readout to consult, so the evidence is behavioural: a refrigerator that stays dead after a brief power interruption and revives by itself hours later, compartments warming together while the lamp still works, defrost that never completes, or a silent machine compartment on a proven live outlet.
This is the cabinet's single decision maker. Compartment sensors report into it, the compressor and both air moving circuits take instructions from it, the defrost schedule lives on it, and where a factory ice maker is fitted its fill timing runs through it too. What separates this board from the French door assemblies most LG guides describe is the absence of a display to complain through. A four door cabinet names the circuit that stopped answering. A top mount of this generation says nothing, so symptoms are read from behaviour.
- The refrigerator does not restart after a brief outage or a breaker trip, then revives on its own a day or two later
- Both compartments climbing together while the interior lamp and control dial appear normal
- A freezer rear wall glazing over until air can no longer reach the section below
- Ice production stopping on cabinets with a factory ice maker, temperatures unaffected
- The compressor running without pause and never reaching the set temperature
- Nothing audible from the machine compartment although the outlet has been proven live

Why Does a Kenmore Model Tag Send You to an LG Part Number?
Sears sold refrigerators built by LG under the Kenmore name, and those cabinets carry a 795 model tag while the electronics inside keep LG part numbers. Roughly ninety codes are documented against EBR41531306 and only ten are LG badged. Matching the number printed on the board sidesteps the badge question entirely.
The 795 prefix is a Sears source code, not a statement about who built the appliance. On these cabinets the manufacturing came from LG, which is why the assembly behind the rear cover carries an EBR number and why a Kenmore owner searching that number lands on an LG page. The consequence is that the model tag inside your fresh food compartment is the least useful document in the house for this purchase, and the board label is the most useful.
The video above shows where the applied label sits on an appliance control board and how to read it before packaging is opened. On this assembly it settles the question. Twelve neighbouring assemblies share the first nine characters EBR415313 and cover unrelated cabinets: French door, bottom freezer and several other top mount families. Nothing about your badge, your finish or a capacity figure separates them. The last two characters do. Photograph the label, read it to the end, and buy against the photograph.
Which Complaints Point at Cabinet Logic and Which Point at Hardware?
Count the systems misbehaving and note how the fault begins. One dead function surrounded by healthy ones describes the hardware performing it. Several unrelated functions sliding at once, or a refrigerator that will not wake after the power blinks, describes the assembly they answer to.
Treat each row as a direction for testing, never a conclusion. A top mount is a simpler machine than a four door, which cuts both ways. Fewer subsystems muddy the picture, but no display narrows it either, so the ordering below does work a panel would otherwise do.
| Symptom | What It May Indicate | Recommended Next Step | Board? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dead after a power cut, then alive again unprompted a day later | A supply or reset stage that no longer recovers reliably from an interruption | Prove the outlet and cord first, then look for a pattern. A refrigerator that recovers on its own timetable rather than yours is describing its electronics. | Board-related |
| Both compartments warm, interior lamp on, dial responds normally | Cooling is being asked for and not delivered, or was never asked for at all | Watch the evaporator fan start, then read the compartment thermistors at their plugs. An assembly fed impossible numbers behaves like one that has stopped thinking. | Common |
| Freezer rear wall solid with ice, fresh food section warming below | Defrost is not finishing, or its heating path has opened somewhere | Meter the defrost heater, thermal fuse and defrost sensor first. Scheduling is the board's contribution; three inexpensive parts must survive for the cycle to complete. | Defrost parts first |
| Compressor runs continuously and the cabinet never arrives | Heat rejection, airflow or a sealed system problem rather than a thinking one | Clean the condenser coil and confirm the condenser fan turns freely. Packed coils and a stalled fan produce the same complaint as a control fault, and a cabinet that runs forever is usually working correctly against a load it cannot shed. | Airflow first |
| Ice maker stopped, both compartments holding temperature | The ice maker module, its fill valve or a frozen fill tube | Only some cabinets here carry a factory ice maker. Where one is fitted, check the module and water path first. A dead subsystem on a healthy refrigerator is a local story. | Ice hardware |
| Machine compartment silent, outlet proven live at the socket | Lost cabinet logic, or a compressor that cannot start | Listen for start attempts that fade away against no attempt at all. Those sound different and point in opposite directions. | Separate the two |
Do These Refrigerators Show Error Codes at All?
Mostly they do not. The published parts diagrams for these cabinets describe case, door, freezer and refrigerator groups, with an ice maker group on some, and no dispenser or display module. Without a segment panel there is nothing to print a code on, so LG code tables written for French door cabinets do not transfer here.
This matters because most published LG troubleshooting assumes a display. Owners of these cabinets reach those pages, find a table of readouts, and conclude their refrigerator is broken in a way the table does not cover. It is not. Diagnosis returns to measurement and observation, so the table below reframes the usual code groups as things you look for rather than read.
| What a display would have told you | How you find the same thing here | Is It This Board? |
|---|---|---|
| An evaporator fan not confirming rotation | Open the freezer and listen with the door switch held in. No air movement, or a blade visibly gripped by frost, answers this without electronics | Fan first |
| A compartment sensor reading short or open | Read each thermistor at its plug against the resistance table published for your model. A dead short or total open ends the enquiry | Sensor first |
| A defrost cycle that timed out | Heavy even frost across the evaporator is the visual equivalent. Meter the heater, thermal fuse and defrost sensor before spending anything | Test the defrost circuit |
| An ice maker circuit fault | Only on cabinets with the factory module. Check the fill valve, the fill tube and the module, in that order | Ice parts first |
| A sealed system or compressor relay fault | Listen at the machine compartment. Start attempts that give up describe the starting components; total silence with a live supply leans toward the assembly | Separate the two |
| Nothing at all, cabinet warm, lamp working | The interior lamp proves the door circuit only. A refrigerator with light and no cooling has quietly stopped asking, which leans furthest toward the assembly | Board-related |
What Has to Be Cleared Before an EBR41531306 Is Worth Buying?
Five checks decide it: does your board label end 306 rather than any of the twelve neighbouring endings, do the compartment thermistors measure sensibly, do the heater and thermal fuse show continuity, does every fan blade turn freely with a clean coil, and does the compressor attempt a start. Only the first costs nothing but attention.
Twelve other assemblies begin EBR415313 and each is a different board for a different cabinet. The group spans LFC French door models, LBC and LDC bottom freezer models, several Kenmore families and a smaller LTC cabinet. Sharing nine characters proves nothing about fitment. Read your label to its final digit first, because this one check eliminates the most expensive mistake available here.
Nothing else feeds this assembly. Hand it a shorted, open or impossible reading and its cooling decisions turn to nonsense, and nonsense from cabinet logic looks identical to dead cabinet logic at the kitchen door. A top mount carries fewer sensors than a four door, so this is a short job. Thermistors cost little and fail with some regularity.
A freezer sealing itself shut with ice is the most frequent complaint on these cabinets, and the board is seldom the reason. It schedules defrost; it does not perform it. Completion needs current through a heater, a thermal fuse that has not operated, and a sensor still willing to report a temperature. Lose one of the three and the fresh food section starves, because on a top mount all its air arrives from the freezer above.
These cabinets move all their cold air with one evaporator fan, so a blade held by frost stops the fresh food section outright while the freezer stays cold. At the other end, a stopped condenser fan or a coil packed with dust produces a compressor that runs without pause and never arrives. Neither fault involves the electronics, and both get blamed on them.
Silence in the machine compartment is the symptom most often read as a dead board here, and it is genuinely ambiguous. A failed start relay or overload protector produces a compressor that clicks, strains and gives up, or one that does nothing. Those parts sit on the compressor and cost a fraction of an assembly, which is why a silent refrigerator should never be diagnosed from the kitchen side.
How Much Work Is an EBR41531306 Swap on a Top Mount Cabinet?
Our own product record places the EBR41531306 behind a cover at the back of the refrigerator and puts the job under thirty minutes. One published repair account rates it easier still, a quarter of an hour with needle nose pliers as the only tool. A top mount is narrower and lighter than a French door, so access is the easy part here.
Records agree the assembly sits inside a metal enclosure on the back of the cabinet. A few fasteners release the cover, the harnesses come off at their latches, and the board lifts away. Most of the time goes on moving the refrigerator out far enough to stand behind it and on photographing which plug came from which header.
Does the EBR41531306 Fit Your Refrigerator?
A model lookup earns its keep here because the documented fitment is unusually wide and almost entirely Kenmore. Enter a 795 tag exactly as it appears, with or without the dot, or an LTC22350 code. A match is meaningful, but confirm it against your board label all the same.
Model Number Check
Enter your refrigerator's model number to check it against our EBR41531306 compatibility records. Not found? Use the buttons below to reach our team.
Your model tag says Kenmore on most of these cabinets. The assembly inside says LG. Only the applied white label carries all eleven characters of the part number in one place, and that is what this purchase turns on. Click to zoom in.
Which Models Are Documented Against the EBR41531306?
Independent parts records document eighty eight Kenmore 795 codes and ten LG designations against this number. The Kenmore side resolves to fourteen base numbers, each appearing under both a 795.6 and a 795.7 prefix. The LG side is the LTC22350 in stainless and white, plus export codes on the GM-T622 and GM-T722 stems.
Documented Fitment, Confirm Against Your Label
Three points matter here. First, every Kenmore base number appears twice, once under 795.6 and once under 795.7, and the board does not change between them. Second, the three digit run code at the end of a Kenmore tag runs through 800, 900, 901, 902 and 903 across this fitment without splitting it, which you cannot assume elsewhere in this family. One family over, the Kenmore 795.79013 cabinets are documented against EBR41531307 in their 900 and 901 runs and against EBR41531313 in their 902 run, so there the run code decides everything. Third, the published diagrams differ: some carry an ice maker group and some do not, making a factory ice maker a cabinet by cabinet question. Use the checker above for individual codes, and send us your tag if yours is close but not exact.
How Is the EBR41531306 Restored to Spec? The FailSafe Precision Protocol
Every EBR41531306 sold by Appliance Pro USA goes through the FailSafe Precision Protocol, a proprietary 4-step process covering failure pattern analysis, precision diagnostic testing, proactive component replacement using equal or higher-rated parts, and final certification before the board ships.
FailSafe Precision Protocol
Failure Pattern Analysis
Known failure patterns for the EBR41531306 are mapped before any board enters the process, so we know exactly which components to focus on for this specific board type.
Precision Diagnostic Testing
Multi-point diagnostic testing identifies faults and confirms overall board condition. Boards that do not pass diagnostic testing do not advance.
Proactive Component Replacement
Components identified through failure pattern analysis as common weak points are replaced using equal or higher-rated parts, before the board is cleared to ship.
Final Certification
Certified to meet or exceed original LG factory specifications. Tamper-evident hologram applied. Anti-static packaged and sealed for shipping.
EBR41531306 Specifications and Cross-Reference Part Numbers
Four independent records describe the EBR41531306 as a refrigerator main control board, one of them as the main power control board. Its published cross references are AP4863006, PS3533831, EAP3533831, AH3533831, EA3533831 and the legacy Sears number 1528380. No supersession is recorded in either direction.
| Manufacturer part number | EBR41531306. LG catalogues assemblies in this series under the name PCB Assembly Main; independent records describe this number as the refrigerator main control board, one of them as its main power control board assembly |
| Board type | Main control board. Four separate records describe it in those terms and our own product record agrees. It is not a display assembly, not an ice maker board, and not a compressor inverter module. That last point matters because several boards in the wider LG EBR range are inverter modules, diagnosed in an entirely different way |
| What it controls | Compartment sensor inputs, cooling calls and compressor operation, the evaporator and condenser fans, defrost scheduling, and ice maker fill timing where a factory module is fitted. One record summarises it as regulating electronic functions and fan operation |
| Cabinets served | An LG built top mount platform sold mainly under the Kenmore name on 795 tags, and under LG's own badge as the LTC22350 in stainless and white. Export designations on the GM-T622 and GM-T722 stems appear in the same records |
| Cross references | AP4863006, with PS3533831 and EAP3533831 as its pair, plus AH3533831 and EA3533831 in one record and the legacy Sears number 1528380. Vendor stock codes also circulate |
| Board location | Inside a metal enclosure on the lower back of the cabinet. Our product record places it behind the rear panel; a published repair account describes finding it behind a metal cover at the back |
| Supply status | Listed as currently supplied under its own identity, in stock with one supplier and on special order or extended lead time with others. No supersession is recorded in either direction, which is notable given that most of its neighbours are discontinued and two were folded into CSP numbers |
| Sibling caution | EBR415313 is a large family of unrelated boards. The 301, 311 and 314 endings serve LFC20760 cabinets, 302 serves LFC23760, 303 serves LBC22520 and LDC22720, 304, 305, 307, 308, 310 and 313 serve separate Kenmore families, and 312 serves the LTC19340 |

Is an EBR41531306 the Right Spend on a Top Mount Refrigerator?
Usually yes, but the arithmetic deserves honesty. A top mount refrigerator is among the least expensive categories to replace, so a board repair does not carry the overwhelming margin it does on a large French door cabinet. It still wins comfortably in most cases, provided the cheaper causes have genuinely been eliminated first.
What your options typically cost
What Goes Wrong After a Correct Board Has Been Fitted?
Four things undo an EBR41531306 repair: ordering against a Kenmore tag from an aggregated list rather than against the board label, leaving in place the thermistor or defrost fault that was the real cause, returning a harness to the wrong header, and judging the outcome before the cabinet has pulled down.
Trust the board label over any model list, including ours
Compatibility lists for Kenmore tagged appliances are aggregated from several catalogues and widen over time. Two tags a digit apart can take different assemblies, as the neighbouring 795.79013 family shows. The label on the board you are holding was printed by the factory that built it.
Go back to the thermistors before blaming the replacement
A sensor stuck open or short feeds the new assembly the same impossible reading it fed the old one, and the refrigerator behaves precisely as it did before the job started. Nothing on this list sends more perfectly good boards back.
Return every harness to the header it came from
Connectors on this assembly sit close together and several are similar in size and keying. A plug seated one position across produces behaviour nobody can tell from a dead board. The photograph taken before removal is the fastest way back.
Let the cabinet pull down before you judge it
A refrigerator that has been open, emptied and standing warm does not reach temperature in twenty minutes, even a small one. Judging too early leads people to pull a working board back out. Close the doors, leave the dial alone, and return several hours later.
Still not working after all of the above?
Contact our team before returning anything. A brief conversation resolves most post-install situations. We stand behind every board we sell and are here to help you get the result you need.
Which Cheaper Parts on This Cabinet Imitate a Board Fault?
Parts capable of impersonating an EBR41531306 fault include the compartment thermistors, the defrost heater with its thermal fuse and sensor, the evaporator and condenser fan motors, the compressor start relay and overload protector, and on ice equipped cabinets the fill valve and ice maker module.

EBR41531306 LG Refrigerator Main Control Board, Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover why a Kenmore tag leads to an LG part number, whether the run code on your tag matters, how this assembly differs from the twelve others beginning EBR415313, which cross references belong here, whether the number is still supplied, and how to diagnose a cabinet with no code display.
My refrigerator badge says Kenmore, not LG. Is EBR41531306 really my board?
Very likely, yes. Sears sold refrigerators built by LG under the Kenmore name, and those cabinets keep LG part numbers on their internal assemblies. Of roughly ninety model codes documented against this number, eighty eight begin 795, the Sears source prefix. Only the LTC22350 and a few export designations carry an LG badge, so a Kenmore tag is expected here rather than unusual. Confirm by reading the board label, which shows the EBR number whatever the door says.
Does the three digit number at the end of my Kenmore tag change which board I need?
Not within this fitment, and that is worth knowing. The documented list runs across the 800, 900, 901, 902 and 903 run codes on the same base numbers without dividing, so a cabinet built early and one built later both take this assembly. Do not carry that assumption to neighbouring parts. The Kenmore 795.79013 cabinets are documented against EBR41531307 in their 900 and 901 runs and against EBR41531313 in their 902 run, so one digit decides the purchase there. Read your board label either way.
What separates EBR41531306 from the other EBR415313 numbers?
Entirely different refrigerators. Published records put the 301, 311 and 314 endings on LFC20760 cabinets, 302 on LFC23760, 303 on LBC22520 and LDC22720, 312 on the smaller LTC19340, and 304, 305, 307, 308, 310 and 313 on separate Kenmore families with no overlap. These are not revisions of one board but unrelated assemblies sharing a nine character stem, so only the final characters tell them apart.
Which AP and PS numbers belong to this board?
AP4863006 is the reference recorded against EBR41531306, with PS3533831 and EAP3533831 as its matching pair. One record adds AH3533831 and EA3533831, and several list the legacy Sears number 1528380 alongside them. Vendor stock codes also circulate and vary by seller. Any of these will find the part, but none is printed on your refrigerator, so they work as a cross check after you have read the board label rather than instead of it.
Is the EBR41531306 discontinued?
No, and it stands out among its neighbours for that. Records list it under its own number with no supersession in either direction, in stock with one supplier and on special order elsewhere. Most of the surrounding family has fared worse: several numbers are recorded as discontinued with no substitute offered, two were folded into CSP numbers, and one was superseded into a later number in the series. Supply here is thinner than it was, which argues for ordering correctly first time.
My refrigerator will not restart after a power cut. Is that the board?
It may be, and it is one of the more distinctive patterns reported on this assembly. A published repair account describes a cabinet that stayed dead after even a momentary interruption and then revived on its own a day or two later, resolved by replacing this board. We found that account in one place only, so treat it as a reported pattern rather than an established rule. Before acting on it, prove the outlet under load, check the cord and plug, and confirm nothing in the house has tripped.
There is no error code display on my refrigerator. How do I diagnose it without one?
By measurement and observation, in a fixed order. The parts diagrams for these cabinets describe case, door, freezer and refrigerator groups, with an ice maker group on some, and no display module, so there is generally nothing to print a code on. Work the sequence instead: confirm the control dial is not at its lowest setting, read both thermistors at their plugs, meter the defrost heater and thermal fuse, turn each fan blade by hand, clean the condenser coil, and listen for a compressor start attempt. If all of that passes and the cabinet still will not cool, the assembly becomes the leading candidate.
