Peace through strength
Do you hear it "ticking" every 1 to 2 seconds?
Do the front water/ice dispenser buttons no longer work?
Of course, might be something else.
I took a chance on the board being bad.
Tribles has them for $200 + core charge of around $55. Just like the batteries, the core charge is refundable when you bring back the old one in the same box as the new one (has some sort of decal).
Amazon has the boards much cheaper - I wanted mine fixed ASAP without a couple day's delay.
Mine is 15 years old so it doesn't owe us anything and now my wife tells me to buy something in stainless so it will help sell the house.

With the way the real estate market in MD is I would consider that 1800 or so you're gonna spend on a fridge a complete waste. I did a bunch of crap the realtor recommended when we sold our last house and can honestly say we didn't get it back, and that was 3 years ago. The market is hotter than ever right now so a fridge shouldn't keep you from selling.
The fridge stopped cooling, but the light inside was working and the inside control panel still had readings. But the panel wasn't responding to the buttons that we pushed. It's a circa 2005 GE Profile fridge. Luckily, we have a backup in the garage that usually is only 50% full, so could move stuff there.
I got this panel from Amazon for about the same $150 price that they have now ...

You could throw the fridge in the trash and sell with no fridge. It won't impact the sale in either direction in the current market. But who knows what a few years from now will look like.
Two years is our goal. Out of here by Dec 2022.
Did the freezer continue to work? Mine is.
^This^ pretty much sums it up. I dint have any idea how often markets like this occur but it sure does seem it is nice to be a seller in a lot of zip codes right about now ...
G*d D*mn FERRETS!!!!!!!

No, not in our case. The freezer wasn't chilling, and the fridge wasn't cooling. But I don't remember the clicking noise that some experience when their circuit board goes bad. The Amazon comments cover some of the issues people had which the board replacement fixed.
Freezer cold, fridge warm is a circulating fan failure til proven otherwise.
Old days when freezer was on top took less fan cuz cold air falls.
Grandma had a side by side that ate fans for a hobby.
New one every 2 years.
