To solve this GE Refrigerator problem, check the unit asfollows: 1. The freezer section has the only cooling coil. It soundslike it is blocked with frost and thus won't let the air circulate from freezerto refrigerator.

2. There is a defrost timer, (or board), a defrost heater, and a defrost safetythermostat. Any One of these or a combination of 2 can be your problem. If youhave an energy efficient model that has electronic controls then you will havea board. The procedures for checking the circuit on a board vary bymanufacturer of the board used and manufacturer of the appliance.

3. The defrost heater always has resistance and is attached to the freezercoil.
The defrost thermostat is also attached to the heater electrically, unless itis an electronic sensor type. Sensor types have a range of resistance thatneeds to be known to check and varies slightly with the temperature of thesensor. If you can reach to the circuit board,you may find wires to the defrost heater which is fused. If you find such thinglike fuse, make sure that the fuse is not blow out, and you can also check thosewires for continuity. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

The cold control needs replacing. Thats the knob with the numbers that turn the Ref OFF and ON.
What I do is call my local Appliance Parts Store with my model no. They are extremely helpful .
Get freezer and ref thermometer. Ref is probably too cold.
Freezer should be 0 to 10 degrees. Ref 33 to 35

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Ge refridgerater model no. tfx28pbda ww the de light is flashing-no defrost current>64 hrs. what is the problem,where is the part located

Normally the auto defrost timer is placed close to the main compressor unit and all you need to look is a the back panel, move the fridge forward and check at the base section where the timer will be found. A quick check for the connection and the working can be confirmed if the stepper motor is not working to move forward. If so you need to replace.

I have a GE model #dss25pfmd ww and it stopped cooling both sides, the fan still runs, i have vacuumed the condensor coils, unplugged and replugged, the compressor isn't hot, but no cooling inside? Please...

FIRST WE YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR COMPRESSOR STILL GOOD OR NOT. THERE'S A 3-N-1 BOOSTER YOU CAN GET AT LOCAL APPLIANCE PARTS STORE. YOU CONNECT THAT TO COMPRESSOR AND IF IT RUNS GOOD. THEN YOU HAVE A BAD CONTROL BOARD(WHICH IS RIGHT THERE BEHIND THE METAL PLATE).

I have a GE side by side ref. model # GSS22JFMC WW that is not cooling. A few months ago I replaced the defrosting element. It is not freezing up but for some reason it sometimes stops cooling. I can turn...

First this refrigerator has very low consumer rating. They are plagued with problems with very poor company backing. But without be able to diagnosis the problem in person I would say it's the mother board. And you may find that GE has a new updated board for your appliance. I would go to Amazon.com and search for your motherboard for your refrigerator and read the reviews. Some people leave some great idea. Plus it you bought this refrigerator brand new you can fight with GE to send you a new board.

GE Model # GSS20IEPA WW Fridge warm...freezer is fine

HI,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

any further question let me know.

thanks,
