Greggor1 for Model Number GE fridge pts25shparbs GE "2003" arctica fridge not working but freezer is model# pts25shparbs. Last week we noticed the temp in the fridge rising (60F) also the LED temperature readout stopped working (dark). I removed the panel on the freezer to expose the condensor it was a block of ice. I defrosted the condenser coils, removed all standing water, reassembled and the fridge cooled for about a week (42F) now the temp has risen again (60F). dissasembled again and some frost/ice is built up but not nearly as bad as before. The fan is working, the opening to teh fridge is un obstructed. What should I be testing with my multimeter to troubleshoot the problem?
Answer Hello Greg, start by testing the defrost circuit components, the evap coil defrost thermistor at 32deg (in an ice water bath) should ohm at about 16k, the defrost heater about 20 ohms, the high temp defrost thermostat should show continuity under 140 deg, if all ok replace the main control board WR55X10942C.
