GE Monogram Side by Side 42" Freezer light is lit on front panel.

First start by Cleaning Your Condenser. If your condenser is extremely clogged. Clean it and let it run over night. Then check if there is a difference in the morning. If your condenser is clean then disregard. Make sure that you have good air flow into the fresh food(refrigerator) section threw the damper control. Click here to see your damper it is number 426. Another thing to check. Open your freezer and look on the back wall to see if there is defrost frost forming. Sometimes you have to remove the back panel to verify if your coils are clear. If you have a defrost problem starting it will restrict air flow into the refrigerator section. This is the most common problem on your model. If you remove the panel and the coils are frosted and restricting air. You can take a hair dryer and defrost them to get yourself by for a few days. This would either be your defrost termination switch, defrost timer or defrost heater bad. Here is your UNIT. Click Here to contact me.

What is the model number of your unit?

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.


The opening should be at the top probably behind the plastic removable cover.

erwfj,

I have this same problem. Now, the freezer will not get cold enough, but still water runs down into the ice bin and just turns into a big solid block of ice. The water is dripping from the top of the freezer compartment. I have disconnected the water coming to the refrig to not allow it to make ice, but still happening. Please post if you have found a solution? Defroster issues?

Turns out the problem was because we didn't shut the freezer door tightly. The temperature re4set itself in about three hours. All OK and no expense :-)
