SOURCE: GE refrig Model # GSS25WGMD WW freezer is cool,

I pulled the refrig out from the wall, turned it off, took off the back panel (that covers the compressor fan and motor) and used the attachment on my vacuum to remove the dust from the area. Then I closed the flapper that allows the ice to release from the ice maker compartment to the dispenser, so no warm air would get into the freezer area. I plugged the refrigerator back in and within an hour it was freezing again! So far this week, I have had to repair the garbage disposal and the refrigerator.....I saved some nice $$$ by figuring this out by myself!

SOURCE: The refrigerator and the freezer is not working

Possible defrost problem. If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air.Since you've already replaced the motherboard Checkdefrost heater, defrost thermostat

With the PSS26MRSS model the mother control board is suspect in that happening. Unplug and pull away from the wall and remove the cover over a panel that has the board inside. Look at both sides of the board for burn marks. Let me know what you find and if you find the board looks OK then we need to look at the compressor relay and start relay. Thanks, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: ge 25tfx25pp refrigerator not cooling properly

Need to have a look at the compressor and main mother board part number WR55X10942. If you would like to do it yourself I will assist you. Will need to spend a little time on this to make sure a fan is not the root cause. If a fan fails it takes the motherboard out with it. So if you change the fan you must change the board. The only thing I think is a good idea now until repaired is to feel the compressor to make sure it is not trying to start and getting too hot to keep your hand on. I will return in a moment with a link to a manual and help you all the way if you choose, Thanks Sea Breeze

Freezer temperature keeps climbing thawing out the food.

Check the thermostat, and the cooling fluid.
Tao the thermostat en see if it will start the compressor. When you hear the compressor running and still no cooling, you must have lost the cooling fluid. (used to be freon)

Auto-defrost refrigerator freezer ice build-up

Check vents/grills to make sure they are dust free. May need to be replaced. In meantime, leave freezer door open to thaw away ice (remove food not wanting to get thawed)

Je your defrost thermostat, heaters or timer is not working correctly or at all. The freezer has the coils that freeze the freezer and cools your fresh food area. When your defrost does not work these coils become blocked with ice and will not let air from fans pass through!!! Leaving a moderate temp in fresh food area.

Refrigerator/freezer is warm, fan is running.

The problem is the compressor isnt starting. The relay is probably ok. It should have 5yr warranty on the compressor. However if you purchase a Supco RC0810 start assist relay available at all appliance parts stores, it will start the compressor, however this is only a temp fix. But it should last till sears can put a new compressor in.
