Model GSL22JFPHBS Last winter our water dispenser stopped working and then the ice dispenser stopped. I called a guy and he tested the little pumps in the back. Everything checked out o.k. Then he said to try leaving the freezer door open. He thought it was frozen up inside the door. I did this and then after a couple of hours the water started to flow. It seems like the freezer was too cold in the winter. We keep our house cool in the winter. The water dispenser continued to "freeze" up occasionally in the winter. I would turn down the freezer all the way and then leave the door open. It would eventually unfreeze and flow. I change the filters regularly. Now it is summer and neither the refrigerator or freezer are cold enough. The freezer cannot freeze anything. It doesn't make ice. The water flows fine however. The machine is only about 3 years old.

Hi Battlesmith,

I wrote a bit earlier about the side by
side refrigerator problem and you suggested cleaning the condenser coils and
adjusting the fan. I pulled out the machine from the wall. I don't
know how to get at the condenser coils and cannot locate the fan.

However I did find a problem on another website that looks exactly like mine.

Check it out below.

I
purchasedmy GE side by side refrigerator a year and a half ago. All of
a suddenmy both the fridge and the freezer stopped getting down to the
propertemperature. the fridge stays at about 40-50 degrees and the
freezerstays at about 30 and there is frost on the back wall of the
freezer.Luckily for me I have a home warranty and the only reason we
have it isfor the fridge. They send someone out and say we need a new
motherboard. I asked if it was an updated one and he says no it is just
a newone and may go out again in another year or two.

After
alot ofresearch on the internet i discovered many people with this
problem. Iam thinking that aparently this mother board is a poor design
and whyshould me or anyone else have to pay to have a new one put in
every 2years. I mean if the fridge was 5 years old ok fine ill pay for
it but1 1/2 years i need a new mother board. Plus we have to wait
another 2days for them to be back to instal the part. I will never ever
buyanother GE product again!

we lost food from beef to milk and many other frozen and fresh foods.

Battlesmith,

I am still waiting to hear from you about how to clean the condenser coils and adjust the fan.
