Bob K for Model Number gsl251frf-bs My G.E Side By Side is acting up. The freezer temp is good at approx 0 degrees and the frig side is good for awhile but after about 2 weeks it will start to get warm on the frig side so I am sure the coils are freezing over, because if I unplug it for a couple days it will run fine but some times it seems to run a lot and sometimes I have to manually open the small trap door so that the frig side will get cold ( not often but I do once in awhile. ) and some times to get it to stop running I have to turn the freezer selector to 0 the back to 3 and it stops running. I live in an area where we occasionally have power outages / surges and a couple years back I had to replace the circuit board because it was doing all kinds of crazy things like the ice dispenser wouldn't drop the ice and the light on the front of it would dim. would the circuit board cause my issues I am currently having? And if so is there anything I can do to protect the new circuit board from this happening again. Thanks for your time.
Answer Bob, If the damper is not opening and closing and the unit is not going through defrost then it does sound like the control board would be the issue. The only way to protect the unit from surges would be to add a single plug surge protector behind the unit. This will help with surge issues. Read More...
