Question about GE Refrigerators

1 Answer

Freezer not cooling enough to make ice.

I have a GE model #GSL22JFPCBS. (side by side fridge/freezer) I first noticed a problem when the freezer stopped making ice. Everything in the freezer has started to thaw and the bottom portion of the freezer seems to still be cold. I noticed the back top wall of the freezer is covered in frost. The lights are on and all appears to be working. Just not cooling enough to freeze and make ice! I tried unplugging but no change. Any ideas what this could be? I hope to replace the part myself if I can.
Thank you in advance,

Well countney778 it sounds like either your drain is clogged upo and holding water in the freezer or your defrost timer is bad. the timer shoiuld be by the thermostat area and the drain is at the boittom of the coil that is currently freezing. also look underneith and if you see abunch of dirt then you may have to clean the coil on the bottom of the unit. use a shop vac and a long brush to clean.

Is the fan blowing in the freezer section? Also, check to see if you have airflow thru the damper (vent) in the frig section.

My GE Adora side by side refrig. has stopped making ice and I am having a hard time regulating the settings on it. The freezer is too cold and the refrig. section isn't cold enough. I also have noticed...
Defroster circuit/timer has failed.

The water line to the icemaker has probably frozen,so no ice. The cooling coils are in the freezer, and the cold air moves to the fridge via vents and circulation fan.

When it all ices up, no air gets to fridge, fridge gets warm.

Many models have a mechanical defroster timer located under the lower front kick panel. Manually rotate the timer until you hear the compressor stop.

Defroster heater then should come on and you hear scorch/hiss/gurgle of defrost sounds. If the timer is working, the fridge should come back on after about a half hour or so.

Sometimes timer fails, sometimes heater element fails. There is also a defrost thermostat that's part of the heater assembly.
