GE Profile PDE 18LBRARSS Freezer bottom. Fridge fan freezes up

Thank you for sharing in the future your post will help many people.
Thank you

Did you check to see if the auto defrost mechanism is working? Defrost heater any good? Ice in back of freezer?

is it freezing everything in the fridge as well? if so i had the same problem with my side by side fridge a while back. the appliance repair man told me to vaccuum the fridge underneath and all the other parts behind i did and it seemed to work well after that. also have you checked your temp controlls in the fridge.

Check your Model # and Ser#. Probably your Motherboard and condenser fan board. No help from GE but file a complaint 1-800-386-1215. Board # GEA Part no. 200D4860G015 is junk and on every piece of internet writings this board is warranty, however, they(GE) go by the ser# of your fridge. $391 to have A&E come out a replace in 5 minutes. I would recomend working locally.

Air circulation problem. Evaporator fan in freezer moves some air to refrig. Either fan is not working or air passages are blocked with ice. If ice found, then a defrost component failure has occurred. Fix what you find.

you might have a defrost problem, timer,heater or bimetal when the coils freez up they dont cool enough .

Replace the master control circuit board on the rear of the fridge.

Hi, Can you see if there is any frost build up in the freezer? Can you hear the evaporator fan motor running in the freezer? Most common problem is a defrost issue.
Please let me know if I can asstist you further.

Thanks

I had the same problem. I changed the defrost thermostat and that has solved the problem. Just to make sure the problem is not recurring I drilled a small hole in the back of the plastic drain(behind the fridge) so that I can put a long screw driver inside to determine if there is any ice build up. None so far after 3 weeks.

HI .did you pull the fridge, away from the wall, and clean out the drain tube ,at the back. if not pull fridge away from wall, find the drain tube, and clean. thanks the appliance doc
