We have 2 door upright refrigerator/freezer. For the last 3 days the top half of freezer side is not cold enough. The bottom half of it is cold like the refrigerator. However in the refrigerator side the top half is not cold at all but vegi in the bottom are frozen. We bought it in 2001. Please give me some suggestion.

Ice maker works- door water dispenser does not- light comes on when dispenser is pushed.

Defrost system failure.
Defrost timer, heater, therma disk, any one could be bad.
You could manually defrost and this would get the Ref back to working for a couple of days before it iced up again. Remember there is a lot of ice build up on the cooling coils in the freezer that you can't see so, a little extra time with a hair dryer is needed to do a complete manual defrost.

Hi: Your defrost heater or defrost timer is bad. There is an off chance your freezer or fresh food compartment are so full they block the airflow. If not full, Remove the food from the freezer, unplug the ref. and hit the back wall of the freezer with a hair dryer. Avoid plastic components as they will melt. When your defrost mechanism fails frost will form where it shouldnt and block the airway to the fresh food compartment. That's why the freezer still works. That will get you a week or two of fresh food getting cold. If your'e handy remove the back panel of the freezer at the bottom will be a glass tube with a metal coil in it. If the coil is broken buy the new defrost heater and install it. If not look for a defrost timer. Use the model number of the refrigerator to find the part. www.searspartsdirect.com will have a parts schematic to help you find out where the timer is located. There shipping is high so try to buy it locally. I hopes this helps, Jeff

Bad defrost heater in the freezer section .
SOURCE: ge refrigerator is not cooling
you have a defrost system problem. first thing you will want to check is the defrost heater. remove two screws holding it in at bottom of evap coils. You will need and ohmmeter to check resistance through the heater. (be sure to unplug unit first) Also look at your defrost termination (located at the top of evaporator) and see if it looks popped out. 19/20 times one of these two things will be the problem.
