WRF989SLAM replaced control board

After I replaced the control board on the refrigerator everything was working for a few hours then it started giving off the door alarm while it was closed randomly and when that stops the water and ice will randomly work. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas

I'd check the surface of the left had door that contacts the door switch, see if the door liner is bowed in where the ice container housing is formed. Check the right door too, while you're at it. This issue might be entirely unrelated to the control board swap. Whirlpool actually supplies a shim kit to affix to the doors if they aren't completely closing the door switches, which would disable ice and water. I've had at least one such where the "door open" icon would go out when the door closed, cabinet lights would go out, but the switch was not "closed enough" to carry the current of the ice auger, and the unit wouldn't dispense ice.

If this is your own fridge, you might just try adding a shim to make sure the door switch is closing fully. If you replaced the main control on the behind the unit, I'd verify that all the connectors are in seated and that no wires have backed out of the connectors, especially P3.
