We have a GE Profile Arctica PSW26PS side by side stainless refrigerator. The freezer is working fine, but the fridge side is not cold and temperature keeps rising even though it is set at 35 degrees F. We have unplugged it and there is no frost on the back of the freezer. What might the problem be?

Change the motherboard as GE had problems with these.

see if there is heavy frost on freezer back wall, if there is ddefrost heater most likely

bad control board

check for heavy frost in freezer ,rear if so defrost heaters

Tell me what the temperature is in your freezer. The freezer in a PSW26PS must work to keep the fresh food section cool. I would have a look at the defrost heater before I would give up on this problem. I do not deny that it is possible but it is more likely a defrost problem and if the model is a PSW26PS the defrost heater, defrost thermostat or the mother control board are the likely reason and in that order, Sea Breeze

The Profile and Artica are good refrigerators. the problem may be the defrost element, defrost thermostat or the mother board. Let me know if you want help on this one. Thanks Sea Breeze

You have a problem with the defrost timer.

HI,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

any further question let me know.

thanks,

Unplug / Replug the fridge. If doesn't work might be the mother board in back.
