Doug for Model Number PSH25MGTABV My issue is the fresh food side won’t cool properly. History of the unit and repairs. Since summer time 2012, the freezer would bounce between 0-10 on a normal basis, and the fridge was usually 42-49, with the temp controls set at 0 and 37. Finally got tired of food spoiling, and decided to start tearing into it. Through research, found a bad defrost heater element, one end was burnt. Replaced, and started keeping a very close eye on temps now. Freezer improved, but fresh food side did not. Took the next logical plunge, and replaced the system board. A week or so later, fridge went bezerk, started running all the time, temps displayed were 20 freezer and 80 fresh food. At the same time, everything in the fridge was freezing, which is what causes me now to be baffled, as I know it has the ability to keep things cold to the point of freezing them. Found it to be a bad fresh food thermistor, located in the side wall of the fresh food compartment. Replaced it and when things got back to my normal, -3 to 10 freezer and 42-49 fresh food, I also replaced the same thermistor in the freezer section in the side panel. Things have not improved. I had stocked the fridge a week ago and the freezer, left the door closed for 48 hours and then checked temps, -3 freezer, and 45 fresh food. My only other thoughts are to replace the two remaining thermistors, and the defrost thermostat. I know the doors seal well, and I have even checked to make sure that the lights aren’t staying on causing it to heat up, and again, the fact I found from the bad thermistors, it has the ability to freeze food in the fresh food section, so something is telling it to not cool enough
Answer Hello Doug. Make sure you are clearing all the ice off the evaporator coils in the unit. If all the ice is cleared off, then you need to check the evaporator fan motor.
