your ptc relay on the compressor when they go out they
make a clicking noise. The compressor will quit and little bit later
might try to come back on and click again. You need a new ptc relay. It
is on the compressor little black box just unplug your refrigerator and
pull the relay off. undo the wires and get a new one. Kinda staight
forward compressor has 3 prongs that the relay plugs into.

first the model is a GE PSS26MSTD SS. now the problems. i purchased the unit new in april 2007. first the water the water on the door would stop working some times this started probably almost a year ago. then more recently we noticed that ice cream would get soft and both side would be up 4 degrees 4 on the frezzer and 41 or so on the fridge side. next my wife started complaning about frozen veggies in the produce drawer in the fridge. then last night the frezzer went up to about 7or 9 and the fridge was up to the hidh 40's. so i called best buy and they sent out a thrid party tech today(under the extended warranty). i was at work but the wife said he never looked at anything he just opened the fridge door and said it was the board. i spoke to him on the phone and he told me that it was a common problem with these units and that the water problem was a design flaw with not enuff insulation in the door. so they are ordering the part which will 3 to 10 days to get. tonight i started poking around my empty fridge and freezer and noticed the bottoms were cold and some minor frost on the freezer back panel at the bottom. also had some frost on the produce drawer in the corner were the cold air came out of the frezzer into the fridge. i heard no fan inside but the fan underneath is running. i then ran the express chill in the fridge with the drawer for the express chill removed thinking that would circulate enuff cold air from the bottom to at least chill drinks and ketchup and stuff. after about 30 or 40 mins with the express running i now here the fan in the freezer running and there is cold air circulating. so what gives? does this sound like a board issue or something else? i would like to try to figure out whats going on so i dont wait two weeks for my fridge to get fixed only to find it still dont work. thanks a million and happy holidays, ron
