Genuine Friedrich Main Board PTC

This genuine Friedrich main board carries part number 68700171 and replaces the earlier P68700106 revision. It is a direct-fit replacement for 15 listed Friedrich models including PDH and PZH series units. The part is sold individually as a new appliance component.

Thermals noise and power draw

The board operates as the primary control module for the appliance, managing PTC heating functions and system logic. Power consumption and thermal output are determined by the host appliance design rather than the board itself. No active cooling or fan noise is associated with this component.

Replaces earlier revision and fits 15 models

This part supersedes part number 68700106 and serves as the exact functional equivalent. The upgrade is warranted when the original board fails or shows control errors on any of the 15 compatible Friedrich models. It is not intended for non-Friedrich appliances or models outside the listed compatibility set.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 68700171 main board in my Friedrich PDH15R5S and what step is often missed?

Disconnect power, remove the control panel, unplug the old board, connect the new 68700171 board, then re-secure the panel; the step often missed is verifying the PTC sensor harness is fully seated before powering up.

What maintenance or replacement will the PTC-type main board need over its service life?

The board itself has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace it only if a diagnostic code indicates a board fault or if the PTC sensor circuit fails.

What is the first limit that appears when the board runs continuously in a PZH12K3SA unit?

The thermal limit of the PTC sensor circuit is reached first, causing the board to cycle the compressor off until the sensor cools.
