We had a similar, but much worse experience with two of our whirlpool gold French Door refrigerators. I say refrigerators because we're on our 3rd one in less than 2 years. The first one was a disaster, the door ice maker auger motor went bad, then the evaporator fan motor iced over twice, and the water inlet valve stopped working. Whirlpool replaced the first one under a lemon law type of situation.
We only had the second refrigerator about 1 week before it started getting getting warm (48 degrees). My wife just about lost it, she'd spent hours and hours of time, holding for customer service over the previous year, and we'd lost 100's of dollars of food due to unsafe high temps in the fridge. Whirlpool customer service is pretty good, they immediately set up an appointment to exchange the 2nd fridge for a new one, with no questions asked.
We've had the current fridge for about a year now with no problems (knock on wood). As I said whirlpool customer service is very good, but I wish we never had to find that out.
Multiple different repairmen also reiterated the fact that we were lucky we didn't buy a Samsung or LG fridge (kind of ironic, as they were there to fix our "good" broken whirlpool), they said most of their service calls were for LG and Samsung refrigerators.
I expected much better quality from an $3,000 American made refrigerator from a well known manufacturer.

On the flip side, the Korean brands (Samsung, LG) were the ones we got calls for the most and they were generally a pain in the rear to service. They constantly have recall programs going on that we were called out for. They try to over-engineer their appliances and their "innovations" end up failing, resulting in a costly repair. Many customers out of warranty would just opt for purchasing a new appliance from another brand because repairs were so frequent and expensive. Also both company's customer service and technician service hotlines was terrible, like they put people on the phone with no formal training.
The board you mention is a module made up of AC to DC components which are all super common and used in everything from radios to server power supplies.
They're so frequently used that producing and implementing a bad batch that goes undetected for a decade is less likely than winning the lottery.
It's never brought up, but clean power with a proper ground on a circuit without much load is more important than ever with these newer units.
I'd be willing to bet your house fried the module, rather than it failed on its own.
My point is that these newer technology appliances probably would work as designed for decades in an engineering lab, being fed perfectly clean 115 VAC, RO purified water at 72 degrees, and MERV 20 filtered air. In the "real world" of power spikes, global warming, dust, pets, kids, and (for some) suboptimal wiring these advanced technology appliances are simply more prone to failure.
There's no way that I saved as much energy or $$ with this "high efficiency" Samsung inverter fridge so as to negate the cost and emissions (and 4 letter words) of its repair parts and labor needs.

Check consumer reports.
I had a compressor leak in about 2 years...just outside the warranty!
Had a second fridge (also a whirlpool) door seal break ...just outside warranty again!
they tech said these are becoming very common with whirlpools...quality is going down the tubes!
Same thing with my whirlpool microwave....sometimes it starts by itself as soon as i close the door.
