EBR74796448 LG Refrigerator Main Control Board: the LMXS27626 Assembly Where the Digits After the Slash Decide, and Where One Cabinet Wears Four Different Badges
Part EBR74796448 is the LG main control board catalogued against the LMXS27626, a 36 inch French door cabinet with a through-door dispenser and a lit panel. Three independent parts records call it a main PCB assembly and none contradicts the others on that point. Where they stop agreeing is fitment, and they stop agreeing in one specific place: the two digits printed after the slash on your rating plate. One catalogue lists this board against the D finish in both recorded runs. Another lists the D finish in the first run only. Neither names the S finish beyond its first run, although a second S run demonstrably exists. On top of that, the same assembly turns up under three Kenmore numbers, two abbreviated LG codes and an export designation. This guide is built around both facts, because here the suffix and the badge together are the purchase.
What Does a Failing EBR74796448 Look Like From the Kitchen?
An EBR74796448 becomes a candidate when an LMXS27626 cabinet warms in both compartments at once while the panel stays lit, when the freezer back wall ices over because defrost never finishes, when ice and dispensed water quit alongside a temperature complaint, when the door panel loses contact with the cabinet behind it, and when the machine compartment goes quiet on a socket proved live.
Think of this assembly as the cabinet's arbitrator. Sensor values arrive here, cooling instructions leave here, and its outputs reach the compressor circuit, both fan circuits, the defrost schedule, the ice and water hardware and the door display. Concentrating that many duties in one place produces a distinctive failure shape. Rather than one clean casualty, several systems with no mechanical connection begin misbehaving within a short window.
- Fresh food and freezer both climbing while the panel lights and accepts new settings
- A freezer back wall glazed with ice until airflow to the fresh food side is choked off
- Ice production and dispensed water stopping alongside a cooling complaint
- A door panel gone blank, stuck mid-reading, or deaf to presses above a cabinet that still cools
- Dispenser lighting and panel behaviour turning erratic with no pattern to it
- No sound at all from the machine compartment though the socket is proved live

Why Do the Two Digits After the Slash Decide This Purchase?
LG builds a model code in production runs and prints the run as two digits after a slash, so LMXS27626D/00 and LMXS27626D/01 are the same cabinet built at different times. Published records for EBR74796448 do not cover every run of every finish, and the catalogues do not even agree with each other about which runs are covered. That makes your rating plate suffix a purchase-critical detail rather than a formality.
The video shows where the applied label sits on a control board and how to read it before packaging is opened. That habit earns its keep here more than most. One large catalogue publishes this board against LMXS27626D/00, LMXS27626D/01 and LMXS27626S/00. A second publishes it against LMXS27626D and LMXS27626S at run 00 only. A third lists the model families without printing runs at all. Meanwhile LMXS27626S/01 is catalogued elsewhere as a model in its own right and appears in nobody's fitment list for this number. Two conclusions follow: the run digits genuinely gate this assembly, and the trade has not settled where the boundary lies. Photograph your board label and your rating plate suffix, and buy against the pair.
Which Complaints Accuse the Cabinet Logic and Which Accuse Its Hardware?
Count the independent systems in trouble. One dead function surrounded by healthy ones names the hardware that performs it. Three or four unrelated functions sagging together names the assembly they all report to. That count does most of the useful diagnostic work on a cabinet of this design.
Treat each row below as a testing direction rather than a verdict. A cabinet this size gives one board authority over two food compartments, an ice system, a water path and a lit panel, which is why complaints starting in five unrelated places keep arriving at the same suspect more often than the evidence supports.
| Symptom | What It May Indicate | Recommended Next Step | Board? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both compartments warm, panel lit and taking input | Cooling is being requested and not produced, or was never requested at all | Watch each evaporator fan spin up, then read the compartment thermistors at their connectors. A board fed impossible values acts like one that has stopped thinking. | Common |
| Freezer back wall packed with ice, airflow barely present | Defrost is being started but not completed, or its heating path has opened | Meter the defrost heater, thermal fuse and defrost sensor first. Scheduling is the board's contribution; three cheap parts must hold up for the cycle to finish. | Defrost parts first |
| Ice production stops, water still dispenses, temperatures fine | The ice maker assembly, its fill valve, or its own sensor | Check the ice compartment temperature and the fill valve before touching cabinet logic. One dead subsystem on an otherwise healthy refrigerator is a local story. | Ice hardware |
| Panel blank or unresponsive while cooling carries on normally | The display assembly, or the loom that flexes at the door hinge | Inspect the door harness where it bends on every opening, then the panel. Wire that articulates thousands of times outlasts neither board it connects. | Harness first |
| Cooling, defrost and ice all deteriorating inside two weeks | A shared command point rather than three coincidences | When unrelated systems slide together, whatever they share moves to the front of the queue. Clear the thermistors and fans, then weigh the board seriously. | Board-related |
Which Panel Readouts Point Here, and Which Point at Something This Board Watches?
Sort the readouts into two piles. Most name a component the board is only observing, being a fan, a thermistor, an ice part or a defrost attempt, and those clear by replacing that component. A smaller group describes a conversation or a switching stage inside the assembly. Published meanings shift between LG series, model years and board revisions, so confirm each against your own documentation.
That sorting step is the most valuable thing to bring to a code lookup. A refrigerator never announces which part broke. It announces which circuit stopped replying as expected. Very often that circuit belongs to a component the board merely monitors, and changing it settles the job for a fraction of a board price. On other occasions the cabinet has lost contact with something, and lost contact is a wiring outcome at least as often as a logic one. Cabinets in this family carry a door display, so codes do appear, but LG code sets are not uniform across series. Check every meaning below in your own paperwork first.
| Group | What It May Indicate | Is It This Board? |
|---|---|---|
| Readouts naming an evaporator or ice compartment fan | Rotation could not be confirmed. Ice touching a blade, a tiring motor or an open supply raises this long before cabinet logic would | Fan first |
| Readouts naming a compartment thermistor | A value reading shorted, open or physically impossible. The published order of work for LG cabinets of this era begins at the connector and arrives at the board last | Sensor first |
| Readouts naming a defrost attempt or defrost sensor | Defrost ran its permitted window without reaching temperature. Heater, thermal fuse and sensor all stand between instruction and result | Test the defrost circuit |
| Readouts naming the ice thermistor or ice motor | Ice hardware that stopped reporting in. On a dispenser cabinet these parts are commonplace and cheap | Ice parts first |
| Readouts describing lost contact with the door panel | Two assemblies that can no longer hear each other. The loom crossing the hinge gives up far more often than either board it joins | Harness before board |
| Readouts describing a compressor relay or a sealed system fault | Either a switching stage this board owns, or a refrigeration problem no electronics can repair. Sealed system work needs certified equipment and a qualified technician | Separate the two |
| No readout at all while the cabinet stays warm | A refrigerator that has quietly stopped asking for cooling and sees nothing wrong with that. Of everything here it leans furthest toward the assembly | Board-related |
What Has to Be Cleared Before an EBR74796448 Is Worth Buying?
Five checks settle it: does your rating plate read LMXS27626 or a documented badge, do the digits after the slash appear in the fitment records, do the compartment thermistors measure sensibly, do the defrost heater and thermal fuse show continuity, and does every fan turn freely. The first two cost nothing but a careful look.
This pair belongs at the start of the job rather than the end. Published fitment is split by production run, and the two largest catalogues we consulted disagree about where that split falls. One names the D finish in both recorded runs. The other names run 00 only. Neither extends the S finish past its first run, although a later S run exists. In that situation the number printed on the board you are about to remove outranks any list, since it records what the cabinet contains.
Nothing else supplies this assembly with information. Hand it a shorted, open or wildly implausible reading and its cooling decisions turn into nonsense, and from the kitchen doorway nonsense is indistinguishable from a dead board. There is a reason the published LG order of work for refrigerators of this vintage reaches the board last. Thermistors are cheap and fail with some regularity.
A freezer sealing itself shut behind a wall of ice is among the most frequent complaints on cabinets this size, and cabinet logic is rarely the reason. This board schedules defrost; it does not generate heat. Completing a cycle needs current through a heater, a thermal fuse that has not operated, and a sensor still prepared to report a temperature. Remove any one of the three and airflow strangles the same way each time.
This platform pushes air through more than one circuit, and cooling can stop dead with no electronic fault at all when a blade is gripped by ice or a bearing worn out of round. Usefully they leave different fingerprints. A freezer side fan held by ice gives a cold freezer above a warm fresh food section. A condenser fan that has given up gives a refrigerator running continuously that never arrives.
How Big a Job Is an EBR74796448 Swap on a 36 Inch Cabinet?
Our own product record places the EBR74796448 behind the rear access panel and puts the swap under half an hour for a confident owner using basic hand tools. What governs the timing is access rather than difficulty, because a full depth 36 inch cabinet has to be walked clear of the wall before any of it can start.
The mechanical side is undemanding: a few screws, harnesses released at their latches, an assembly lifted clear of its standoffs. Time goes instead on getting a full depth cabinet forward enough to stand behind. Work square to the back panel, and photograph the populated board before any connector is disturbed.
Does the EBR74796448 Fit Your LG or Kenmore Refrigerator?
A model lookup helps here, with one caveat. Documented fitment for the EBR74796448 covers the LMXS27626 in its D and S finishes plus three Kenmore numbers, but the records break down by production run and disagree with each other. Use the checker as a first filter, then settle the question against your board label.

Which Models and Badges Are Documented Against the EBR74796448?
Independent parts records document the EBR74796448 against the LG LMXS27626 in D and S finishes, against three Kenmore numbers built on the 795.72493 and 795.72495 stems, and against abbreviated LG codes 72493 and 72495. A GC-L28AGSXM export designation appears in one record only. Run coverage differs between sources, so the entries below are graded by how many records support them.
Documented Fitment, Confirm Against Your Label
Two points are worth drawing out. First, run coverage is genuinely uneven. LMXS27626D/01 is published by one large catalogue and omitted by another, while LMXS27626S/01 exists as a catalogued model at several retailers yet appears in no fitment list we found here. Absence is not proof of incompatibility, but an S cabinet from the later run deserves a label check, not an assumption. Second, one board carries four badges. Kenmore 795.72493610 and 795.72493611 differ only in their final digit and both are documented, 795.72495610 belongs to a separate stem, and the abbreviated LG codes 72493 and 72495 map to those same two stems, with suffix codes ASTCSE0 and ANSCSE1 attached respectively. A GC-L28AGSXM export designation appears in one record only. Rating plate close but not exact? Photograph your board label and send it over before ordering.
How Is the EBR74796448 Restored to Spec? The FailSafe Precision Protocol
Every EBR74796448 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.

Known failure patterns for the EBR74796448 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.
What Are the EBR74796448 Specifications and Cross-Reference Numbers?
LG catalogues the EBR74796448 as PCB Assembly Main, and independent records describe it as the refrigerator main control board. The references carried against it are AP5968480, PS11710599 and EAP11710599, plus an internal LG reference in the 3381 series and two vendor stock codes. Those references sit outside the block used by its nearest numerical neighbours.
| Manufacturer part number | EBR74796448. Catalogued through LG parts channels as PCB Assembly Main, and described in independent parts records as the refrigerator main control board assembly |
| Board type | Main control board. Three separate records describe it in those terms, one naming it a PCB assembly that processes sensor inputs and powers components. It is not a display assembly, not an ice maker board, and not a compressor inverter module |
| What it controls | Thermistor inputs, cooling calls and compressor operation, evaporator and condenser fans, defrost scheduling, the ice compartment and dispenser water path, and door panel communication |
| Cabinet served | LG's 36 inch LMXS27626 French door dispenser platform, sold in D and S finishes and rebadged for Kenmore under three 795 numbers |
| Cross references | AP5968480 appears against this number in more than one record, paired with PS11710599 and EAP11710599. Two sources carry an internal LG reference of 3381684, one adds vendor stock codes ALG54558 and PD00047809. Whichever reference you shop by, match the applied label before ordering |
| Production run caution | Records break down by production run and do not agree. One catalogue names LMXS27626D at runs 00 and 01 plus LMXS27626S at run 00. Another names both finishes at run 00 only. A later S run is catalogued as a model elsewhere yet appears in neither fitment list. Read your rating plate suffix and your board label together |
| Reference block position | Worth knowing if you shop by AP or PS number. The immediate numerical neighbours in this LG series carry references in a tidy consecutive block, and this assembly sits outside it with an unrelated set. A close EBR number tells you nothing about a shared reference |
| Supply status | Retail records we consulted list this number as currently supplied under its own identity, in stock, with no supersession in either direction. One distributor lookup returned no record at all, which we treat as a catalogue gap rather than evidence of discontinuation |
| Sibling caution | Assemblies sharing the EBR747964 stem are distinct boards with their own model lists and cross references. Sharing eight characters proves nothing about fitment in this family |
| APU status | FailSafe Certified, 1-year warranty (registration required), same-day shipping* |
Is an EBR74796448 the Right Spend on an LMXS27626 Cabinet?
Once thermistors, fans, defrost hardware and the ice system are eliminated and the assembly really is at fault, an EBR74796448 is normally the least expensive route back to a working refrigerator, since the appliance around it costs an order of magnitude more to replace.
What your options typically cost
What Undoes the Repair After a Correct Board Has Gone In?
Four things spoil an EBR74796448 repair: buying against a model stem while ignoring the run suffix, leaving in place the thermistor or defrost fault that caused the trouble, putting a harness back on the wrong header, and judging the outcome before the cabinet has pulled down.
Read past the model stem to the run suffix
Seeing LMXS27626 in a compatibility list and stopping there is the likeliest way to buy the wrong assembly for this cabinet. The records split by run, and they split inconsistently. Whatever appears after the slash on your rating plate is part of the model number, not decoration.
Match a Kenmore badge to the right stem
Three Kenmore numbers are documented here and two differ by one digit in the last position. Cabinets badged 795.72493611 and 795.72493610 are both covered, but neither is interchangeable with a Kenmore number outside those stems. Copy the full number from the plate rather than working from memory.
Go back to the thermistors before condemning the replacement
A sensor stuck open or short feeds the new assembly the identical impossible value it fed the old one, and the refrigerator behaves exactly as before. Nothing on this list sends more perfectly healthy boards back to us.
Put every harness back where it came from, then wait
Adjacent connectors on this assembly are similar in size and keying, and a plug seated one position across produces behaviour nobody can tell apart from a dead board. Separately, a refrigerator that has stood open and warm does not reach temperature in twenty minutes, so judging early leads people to pull a working board back out.
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 EBR74796448 fault include the compartment thermistors, the defrost heater with its thermal fuse and sensor, the evaporator and condenser fan motors, the ice maker assembly with its fan and fill valve, and the door display with the loom that flexes at the hinge.

What Do Buyers Most Often Ask About the EBR74796448?
These answers cover what the run suffix means, which Kenmore badges are documented, what to do about a later run that appears in no list, which cross references belong here, whether the number has been superseded, why a near-identical EBR number is not a substitute, and what a silent cabinet is telling you.
What do the digits after the slash mean, and do they change which board I need?
They are the production run. LG builds a model over several runs and prints the run as two digits after a slash, so LMXS27626D/00 and LMXS27626D/01 are the same cabinet built at different times, sometimes with different parts inside. Here the run matters and the records disagree. One catalogue lists EBR74796448 against LMXS27626D at runs 00 and 01 plus LMXS27626S at run 00. A second lists both finishes at run 00 only. Copy your suffix from the rating plate, then check it against the number on the board you are removing, since that label records what your cabinet contains.
My refrigerator is a Kenmore. Which 795 numbers are documented against this board?
Three, from two stems. Records name 795.72493610 and 795.72493611, which differ only in the last digit and are both covered, plus 795.72495610 from a separate stem. Sources carrying LG suffix codes attach ASTCSE0 to the 72493 group and ANSCSE1 to the 72495 group, which reads as two trim levels of one cabinet. Some catalogues abbreviate these to the bare codes 72493 and 72495. Copy the complete number from your Kenmore plate and compare every digit, since a 795 number one digit away may be a different cabinet.
My model is LMXS27626S/01. Does this board fit?
We cannot document that one, and we would rather say so than guess. LMXS27626S/01 is catalogued as a model at several retailers, so the run exists, but it appears in no published fitment list we found for EBR74796448. That is not proof of incompatibility, since absence from an aggregated list often means nobody recorded the pairing. It does make the board label your only reliable evidence. Photograph it and send it over before ordering and we will read it with you free of charge.
Which AP and PS numbers belong to the EBR74796448?
AP5968480 is the reference recorded against this number across more than one source, paired with PS11710599 and EAP11710599. Two sources also carry an internal LG reference of 3381684, and one adds vendor stock codes ALG54558 and PD00047809. One point matters if you shop by reference: the assemblies immediately adjacent in the EBR series carry references in a neat consecutive block, and this board sits outside it entirely, so a nearby EBR number tells you nothing about a shared AP or PS number.
Is the EBR74796448 discontinued or superseded?
Not according to the retail records we consulted. Both list it as currently supplied under its own identity and in stock, with no supersession in either direction and no replacement number offered. One distributor lookup returned no record for it, which we read as a catalogue gap rather than withdrawal, since two independent retailers were selling it as we wrote. If you find a listing claiming this number has been replaced, send us the reference.
Another board in the EBR747964 series looks almost identical. Can I use that instead?
No. Boards sharing that stem are separate assemblies with their own model lists and cross references, and the family is large. Nearby numbers serve entirely different cabinets, from bottom-mount and three-door configurations to other French door platforms, each documented against its own models and reference block. Sharing eight characters proves nothing about fitment here. Match all eleven characters on your label, or send a photograph and let us match them.
My LMXS27626 is completely silent. Is that enough to condemn the board?
On its own, no. Silence fits a dead cabinet logic board and a compressor circuit that will not start equally well, and from the kitchen the two sound identical. Listen at the machine compartment and note which you hear: repeated start attempts that fade out, or no attempt at all. Prove the socket, inspect the harness feeding that compartment, and eliminate the thermistors and fans. Check your paperwork too, since the compressor and sealed system on LG refrigerators of this generation often carry longer coverage than the rest of the appliance. With that behind you, power but no output makes a reasonable case for this board.
