SOURCE: freezer refreezing continuously
Yes the defrost system is not functioning properly. You will need a Ohmmeter to properly diagnose it. If you are going to tackle it and need to know what to check, let me know. If so the defrost thermostat (clipped to a freon tube near the top of the coil in the freezer) Should be closed when its below 20deg and open when its 50+deg. Also the heater should have somewhere between 10-20ohms reistance.

Hello dan_2137
Welcome,
You said, overloaded freezer may have caused fan to go out? Is this possible?
Cleaned dust from compressor and shut off to let it cool down but it is
still not working
Yes It's possible. If the freezer is so packed full where the packages cover the air vents in the rear of the freezer.
The freezer and the fridge share the cold air and this is the first think we look for if the fridge is warm and the freezer cold, And the fan works nonstop rather than cycling off and on!
What is the model number and year of your fridge!
Waiting your response.

doesnt make adiff how you loaded freezer, shouldnt affect fan operation anyway. if you have a meter you can check for proper voltage(110v) to fan wires and if you have power youll need to replace fan, easy enough to do just a few screws and about $50.. part number 5304445861.

I can help you diagnose the problems with your GE. Several things can cause these symptoms. All you need is a voltage meter patience and a want to, to repair and do it better than a paid technician. In most cases with the PSS26MSRSS the defrost heater is the cause for this. Look into rear of your freezer and back wall. Is Ice or frost building on rear wall? If yes unplug and prepair to remove contents in freezer compartment. Remove rear panel in freezer and use hair dryer to defrost ice until the defrost heater is visible. BRB , Sea Breeze
