My GE profile refrigerator model #pfss2mjyc stop working.It has power and i hear the fan running.

Jello Joey,

Could be several things...

If there are small kids in the house... there are button
sequences that can place a REFRIGERATOR in
"SALES MODE"... as a DEMONSTRATOR the lights
are on... Not any MOTOR running...

Could be a defective door switch... Most modern models
are designed to STOP COOLING while the doors are open
(holding FROST accumulation down (warm/moist air)).

Could be a bad start capacitor on the compressor...
Evaporator & condenser fans might be heard but
COMPRESSOR only hums (occasionally)...

~~ Condenser FAN is a biggie (Perhaps just a
clogged/blocked CONDENSER...

Even a (remote possibility) a refrigerant issue...

WHICH can actually be fixed...

We will need to know how the machine is sounding...
behaving...(etc.).

Please expound... Your MODEL number
does not resolve to ANY USA refrigerator models...
but the PRINCIPLES are all the same...

Those "round" condenser coils need to be cleaned regularly...

This is a common problem with the GE Profile. In most cases this is caused by failure of the motherboard. If you would like a manual, part numbers and assistance on how to repair please let me know because the instructions are detailed and a lot to Wright if you are only wanting to know what is wrong. You can find a service manual by going here http://appliance911seabreeze.com/

This could be a fan motor problem. Check to see if the fans are running and if not take a look at this page http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/refrigerator-fan-motor.html

If the compressor is not running this page will help http://appliance-repair-it.com/GErefrigeratorrepair.html

There could be a defrost problem, look on the back wall of the freezer to see if it is covered with heavy frost. If so your problem is that it is not defrosting. This page will help http://appliance-repair-it.com/GE-refrigerator-repair.html

If the compressor is running it either has broken valves or the refrigerant has leaked out. Without knowing more than the information you've provided I would start with the basics. Does the fridge have power? Can you hear both the condenser and evaporator fans running? Have you checked the coils under the fridge to see if they are clean?

. Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start.
Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay.
Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath near the compressor is running. If no check fan.

Are the condenser coils near there warm or room temp. should be warm

Verify you have voltage at your fan. If you have voltage and the fan is not running then it will need to be replaced.

Hi yes the fan blade could be hitting the shield or ice, remove the fan cover & check

Check the compressor.
Unplug for 15-20 min. plug it back in and listen for the compressor to start. You will have to be behind the ref to listen and make sure you hear the compressor start and not just a fan running. If you hear a clicking noise then the compressor relay is bad.

See if freezer fan is running when the unit is on. If you hear no fan when it's running. You probably need an evaporator fan motor.
Also check for ice or frost build up around fan.
