Freezer is 0-6 degrees. Fridge side is 47 degrees. Fan on freezer seems to be running ok. Compressor running, On fridge side I can feel some cold air coming from the top center vent (not a lot). The other vent down the center don't seem to have a lot of air coming out (if any). Vacuumed the back side and the condenser coils. Temp on fridge side staying at 47.

Hi, I'm Mark.
Check the position of the two controls at the top of the unit inside the fresh food compartment. SET BOTH controls to the 12 o'clock position. Wait about a hour, then check temperatures. Then wait another hour and check temperatures again. Record the values on a piece of paper. When you do check fridge temperatures, do so quickly as the compartments become warm just a few seconds after the doors are opened. Please let me know what happens to the fresh food readings.
Thanks, Best Regards,
Mark

Hi First
use a multi-meter to test the compressor. For that you have to unplug the
refrigerator and remove the start relay off of the side of the compressor. Go
to the single pin on the compressor and check to one of the pins that are side
by side on the compressor. The run winding will read 1-5 ohms resistance. Then
stay on the single pin and go to the other pin. The start winding will read
3-11 ohms resistance. If your readings are out of these ranges, then you have a
bad compressor. If they are within these ranges, then you have a bad relay overload. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/refrigerator-not-cooling.html http://www.appliancestuff.com/refrigerator.html http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/diagrefrigerator.php Please
get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.
However there are various reasons to this no cooling issue. Please check this helpful
links to get an in-depth idea about why the refrigerator stopped cooling. It

Hello, welcome to FixYa.
I understand based on your post you have a GE profile PFS22MIS fridge not cooling in the fridge (upper cabinet) section, correct ?.
It is possible the problem is related to the condensor fan, but not likely. The difference with these fridges and many others (especially the older fridges) is the condensor fan does not run all the time. Instead the control board at the back (pcb) tells it when to run and at what rpm to run as well, it is a variable speed fan motor...and may in fact not run at all at periods.
The one thing I'd suggest you inspect is the back wall of the freezer. You mentioned the evaporator fan motor is operating, correct ? Is there any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer section, or if not visible have you removed the back wall of the freezer ?
I will need to watch for your reply before going forward. I hope you can appreciate there are so many variables since the fridge has many factors controlling air flow which in turn determine what the possible problem and solution will be.
Sounds to me it is a damper or blocked evaporator initially at least. Let me know what you find and we'll go from there.

Macmarkus :)

Here are some examples of the part beakdown on a=> PCF23NGTCWW_Fresh_Food_Section Parts
See the part labeled 420? That is the WR49X10091 Damper
Not sure if you are having problems with this part yet but we need to keep it in mind as a possible cause. I am leaning to a most likrly defrost heater listed as 230 and defrost thermostat listed as location 240 in the=> PCF23NGTCWW Freezer Section Parts
The defrost heater is=> WR51X10055 Defrost Heater
and the defrost thermostat is=> WR50X10069 Defrost Thermostat
I may be wrong so I need you to look at the rear wall of your freezer and see if ice/snow is building up causing air flow to be restricted to the fresh food compartment. Photo HERE if yes you do see frost buildup the evaporator will look like this photo HERE I am leaving you a service manual here=>

Refrigerator Technical Service Manual
Follow with me in the service manual to see what is causing the air flow problem for eaxample a temperature sensor or problems with the air damper with fan, I am here if you have questions, Thanks Sea Breeze
