What Is the DA94-06792D Samsung Refrigerator Main Control Board Replacement?
The DA94-06792D is a Samsung main control board for refrigerators, mounted inside the cabinet and accessed through a rear or internal access panel near the control and compressor area. This replacement control board manages the compressor, fans, defrost heater, and sensors that regulate cooling and temperature throughout the unit. FailSafe Certified and backed by a 1-year warranty from Appliance Pro USA.
What Does the DA94-06792D Fix on a Samsung Refrigerator?
If your refrigerator is showing any of these problems, a failing main control board is a likely cause:
- Refrigerator not cooling or cooling intermittently
- Erratic or inconsistent temperature readings
- Unit will not power on or has shut down completely
- Control panel or touchpad not responding
- Display showing error codes
- Defrost cycle not running correctly
These symptoms point to the refrigerator control board as the most likely cause - but appliances are complex systems, and the same symptoms can occasionally stem from a sensor, switch, wiring harness, or motor issue. If a technician has identified the control board, or you've ruled out those components yourself, this board is your fix. When in doubt, contact us before you order - we're happy to walk you through some troubleshooting, and a photo of your board is usually all we need. A diagnosis from a local appliance technician works too.
How Do I Know If This Is the Right Board for My Refrigerator?
Before you order, check the sticker on your existing board - it's usually found on the board itself once you open the access panel. Unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear or internal panel, and look for DA94-06792D printed on that label. That number on your original board, not just the refrigerator's model number, is what confirms this is the correct replacement. Your Samsung refrigerator part number is on the sticker on the original board - look for the DA41-, DA92-, or DA94- prefix. On the board's sticker this number is printed without the dash, as DA9406792D, sometimes with a two-character lot code in front of it - it is the same part number.

Reported fit is general reference material - confirm by the part number on your board's sticker before ordering.
This model list is for reference only. Samsung may change boards between production runs, so two appliances 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.

Board Type and Function
The main control board is the brain of the refrigerator's cooling system. It reads input from the temperature sensors and tells the compressor, fans, and defrost heater when to run and when to shut off. Without a working board, the unit can lose its ability to hold a set temperature, cycle through defrost correctly, or respond to the control panel at all. This board ties all of those functions together to keep the fridge and freezer sections at the right temperature.

How to Install a Samsung Refrigerator Main Control Board
Start by unplugging the refrigerator before you touch anything inside it. Remove the rear or internal access panel to expose the control board, and take a photo of the wiring harness connections before disconnecting them - it makes reinstallation straightforward. Disconnect each connector, unscrew the old board from its mounts, and set the new board in place. Reconnect every harness to its original position using your photo as a reference, then replace the access panel. Most people finish this install in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Once everything is back together and powered on, give the unit a few hours to settle into its cooling cycle before you judge whether the repair worked.
