Anthony for Model Number GE Side by Side Refrigerator I have a GE side by side refrigerator. My problem started with the freezer going warm and frozen food would thaw then freeze up again the next day. Started happening as the weather got warmer. Now it's not freezing. I have since replaced all 3 thermistors but still freezer remains slightly below 40 and fresh food side around 45. I have checked coils and they are not frozen. Evaporator fan and condenser fan are both running. Compressor is hot and I have cleaned the condenser. Please advise.
Answer Hello Anthony, If the compressor is hot there is a high probability of a sealed system restriction. This would start giving a problem a little at a time until the unit won't keep food at all. The issue normally takes a filter/drier, the evaporator coil, the heat exchange assembly, (capillary and low side return lines), and sometimes the compressor. Of course the air circulation inside and outside of the unit should be verified first. This includes making sure both fans will start back up to full speed on their own when you stop them physically. If they have to be helped to start back up or gain full speed, the fan motor should be replaced since this will cause temperature issues. Read More...
