If you are replacing the control board shown I suspect you are not really fixing the real problem.
The solenoid it controls can be intermittent and give you indications your BIRD device is malfunctioning.
You need to find the solenoid it controls. I would replace that solenoid in a second. It is such a common failure item.
Likely what is happening is you change the control board without actually diagnosing that is does not have a control voltage output. The solenoid it controls gets to rest a bit and when you re-engage it with a new BIRD the solenoid hits a clean spot and fools you into thinking things are fixed.
My humble opinion of course based on 50 yrs experience.
