Defrost does not stop




By JOHNOPQRST on Oct 02, 2007

" "
I have a GE side by side Mod# TFX25JRBAWW.
My problem is sometimes when it defrosts it stays on defrost until I play with the temp. control. Sometimes that doesnt work and I will unplug it for 5 or 10 min. and it will start to cool again when I plug it back in.
Someone suggested replacing the defrost timer and another person suggested replacing the temp. control. I was thinking about replacing both. Any suggestions?

- I went to my local appliance dealer and he was outside having a cigarett break, when he saw me pull up in my old chevy pickup he was interested in looking at it because he just bought on the same year.I was able to help him with some questions about his truck and in exhange he sold me my refrigerator parts at wholesale so my repair cost me $42 and it only took around an hour for me to install them witch i'm sure was a lot cheaper than a service call. My refrigerator works like brand new again. Thank You very much,John

Yes the timer stops when the cold control cyles off (satisfied) i have also has plenty of your exact model have faulty cold control cycling off when the fridge is very warm +40) both are relatively inexpensive and you will save a ton off a retail repair.
