How to fix GE refrigerators with a red triangle

The red triangle flashing on your Defy DFF417 refrigerator indicates a fault or error. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the temperature: Ensure that the temperature inside the fridge and freezer compartments are set to the correct levels. The ideal temperature range for the fridge is between 2°C and 8°C, and for the freezer, it is -18°C.
2. Check the door seal: Make sure the door seals are clean and not damaged. A damaged seal can cause warm air to enter the fridge, causing the temperature to rise.
3. Check the fan: If the fan is not working correctly, it can cause temperature issues. Make sure that the fan is spinning freely and is not obstructed.
4. Check the condenser coils: Dirty condenser coils can also cause temperature issues. Make sure the coils are clean and not obstructed.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it could be a more serious problem that requires professional assistance. Contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Usually it means your temps are too high.. If you don't notice any cooling issues it could be just a glitch. Try unplugging your fridge for 15 minutes to reboot it..

sounds like the fridge is telling u the story - something wrong with compressor circuit - compressor, refrigerant, power, or line blockage.

If you get a red triangle with the two tone beep, and no voice prompt, roomba 770 runs for a few minutes or just immediately goes to red triangle...if you have thoroughly cleaned moving parts and find no obstructions, you may have the problem I had that stumped me for a week. Remove the trash bin, with roomba upside down, and there are 4 silver contacts that connect to two metal tabs on the trash bin. Over time the contacts lose some of their contact pressure. Use needle nose pliers to slightly rebend them so they make good contact to the trash bin contacts. These contacts feed the vacuum motor inside the trash bin. That fixed mine.

Refrigerator - Explanation Of Red Glow

In a no frost refrigerator, the defrost timer activates defrost heaters in the evaporator section (rear of freezer) which heat up and melt the frost off the evaporator coils. This process lasts for approximately 25-45 minutes and usually happens up to twice a day.

During this time, there will be no running sounds, no fan noise, and you may hear water dripping or sizzling as it hits the heaters. On side by side models, you may even be able to see an orange glow at the bottom of the freezer.

This is normal.

means the temperature has gone up and freezer temperature is too high. fault should rectify itself given some time
