Losthope for Model Number GE GSH22KGMBBB I bought a used fridge, GE side by side model#GSH22KGMBBB for $300 and now I've put $100 more into it for a shelf and new water valve so the water dispenser works. But now my fridge does not defrost anymore. I took the defrosting unit out and it has continuity as well as the defrost thermostat. What else could it be? Also, the ice maker work can make ice, but water doesn't really dispense into it to allow the ice to be made. It dispensed water into the icemaker for about 1/2 a second and stops. If I catch it at that time, I can flip the switch on and off and it'll dispense for half a second each time I turn it on and then I stop when it's full and it'll make ice But the same thing happens on the next cycle. Any ideas?
Answer Losthope, You will want to check the defrost thermistor. The thermistor should have a resistance of 42.2K ohms at 0 degrees. If outside of this range then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If within range then the main control board would be the issue. Other points of reference for the thermistor resistance for any of the thermistors on the unit are 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. Read More...
