I started with a Google search:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=Whirlpool+WRS325FDAM04+power+supply>
I picked the first parts supplier (Coast Parts):

Parts suppliers usually have online exploded views of their equipment.
<https://www.coastparts.com/lookup/257008/1693014>

I tried to find the LED control panel, but failed.  It's probably on
here somewhere:
<https://www.coastparts.com/lookup/257008/1693014>
The best I could do is:
<https://www.coastparts.com/lookup/257008/1693023#diagram>
I found one board with electronics (item #6), which is an "adaptive
defrost control":

If the LED's are "flickering", it means that they will probably light
correctly when power is applied continuously.  Therefore, the LED's
are probably not defective and the flashing problem is elsewhere.  The
the LED's were totally off, then I would worry about defective LED's.

Good luck.
