Cannot Force Defrost
Fridge is +50 and Freezer is -30. In the past this has been fixed by a Forced Defrost. Today I attempted this again but the LEDs went out after 3 clicks w/in 10 seconds. Is the Control Board dead? Is it something else?

The most likely issue with this fridge is a failed defrost timer. The defrost timer is a simple electronic device that turns the refrigerator's compressor off and on to distribute heat evenly across the evaporator coil. When the timer fails, it can't turn off the compressor, which causes the coils to overheat and eventually burn out. This typically happens when there's been a power outage. In order to fix this issue, you'll need to replace the defrost timer.
