You need to program the control board to match the refrigerator. Look for the serial plate and locate the number following "Code". That number is the program code and you will need that value.

1) press and hold Door Alarm keypad.
2) Press and hold the Freezer Temp Down keypad.
3) Release the Door Alarm keypad and wait 3 seconds. The refrigerator display should read PE - programming mode.
4) Press the Freezer Temp Down keypad to confirm that you are in the programming mode. Compare the Code number displayed to the one you recorded off the serial plate.
5) If they are the same, press and hold the Door Alarm keypad for 3 seconds to exit the programming mode.
6) Otherwise, press the Refrigerator Temp Up or Down keypads to change the first digit in the program code to get the correct value.
7) Press the Freezer Temp Up keypad to move to the next digit in the program code to adjust that. Use the Refrigerator Temp Up/Down buttons.
8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all of the digits match the Program Code from the serial plate of your appliance.
9) Press and hold the Freezer Temp Down button until the display begins to flash to save the code. If you hear a beep, the code is incorrect and was not saved.

If you heard a beep, return to steps 6 and 7 to correct the program code. Then go to step 9 again. If the code was saved, press any keypad to exit the programming mode.

I hope this helps.
