Problem with fresh food side of my refrigerator freezer

Dear sir, I have overseas (240 volt)GE Profile Side by Side Model TFG28PFD Refrigerator Freezer. The problem started with the Fresh food side not cooling. The repair man determined that the problem was with the cooling fan located in the freezer section of the unit. The fan was changed and the system seemed to function OK, however, the next morning The upper light bulb in the fresh food section was malfunctioning, It had a dull orange glow and after a short time ceased to function entirely(the bulb is OK). It was also evident that the fresh food section was again not operating. The repair man is unable at this time to determine cause although he suspects it may be a circuit board problem. I would be happy to hear your opinion about this probblem. Regards John Charters.

    We have a Samsung side by side 25 cu ft refrigerator. The freezer side is set as low as it can go and it still freezes ice cream hard as a rock. However, the food side is set as high as it can be set and food still ruins too soon and my thermamature shows barely 40 degrees???

The bulbs dim glow is a worry, sounds like not enough voltage is getting there. If you are comfortable with a multimeter, check what the voltage is at the bulb socket. If you have a low voltage issue due to say the transformer not working properly then the fan will also have low voltage (or no voltage). No power, no fan, no cooling. I'd suspect there are voltage issues with that transformer, especially since it's a 240 VAC model. A transformer typically steps down the 240 volts to 120 volts for light bulbs and maybe even the fans (or the whole refer). The repair man may be correct in that the transformer is built in to a circuit board but it COULD be a stand alone transformer.

Refrigerator inside not getting cold enough. A GE refrigerator side by side.
If it is just the fresh food section and not the freezer. Check out this link to see a GE condenser problem. Make sure to clean that condenser once a year. In most cases when the damper assembly flapper door goes bad in the fresh food section, the fresh food side will start to freeze your food. The next thing I would check is what John is talking about. Pull the freezer back panel off to see if your evaporator coil is frost over. When this happens it will restrict air into the fresh food side(refrigerator side). Click Here to see what a defrost problem looks like.

I have a refrigerator that is 10 years old it is a tpx24pbe bb model number and the refrigerator side is staying at 50 degrees what is the problem?
On my GE side by side (model GSS20IEMDWW), a warm fresh food side, as well as iced-over evaporator coils in the freezer, was caused by the temp sensor in the fresh food side sending faulty data to the computer.

The temp in the fresh food side would climb because air could no longer pass over the iced-up coils in the freezer side.

For me, the faulty fresh food side sensor made the computer always thing the fresh food side was too warm, making it constantly run the compressor (thus icing up the coils).

If you do not have a coil icing problem in the freezer, then your fresh food side temp sensor may be telling the computer that the fresh food side is already cold enough.

Reset Filter Indicator Light is on
Look for your model number from the sticker inside the fresh foods section of the refrigerator, usually on the liner near the door opening. Now, go to http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/ to download a use and care manual for your model, as the reset procedure may vary by model. The filter is usually located at the very back right upper side of the fresh foods compartment, but again, it may vary by model.

GE fridge: Freezer working but fresh food side not cold
The problem is the refrigeration evaporator, located in the freezer section is blocked with frost and ice and not air can pass through it. Four different failed parts can cause this problem. The defrost timer, the defrost heater safety thermostat, the defrost heater, or the evaporator fan motor. Unless you are very good with a volt-ohm meter, it wiil be difficult to distinguish which one of these parts has failed. A qualifed refrigeration service tech or a good appliance service tech with a refrigeration certification can find this quickly.
