Kim for Model Number ge refrigerator TFX26ZPDA WW side by side My refrigerator and freezer are both not cooling enough. It's about 60* in the refrig and 40* in the freezer. I unplugged the unit, let it defrost, flushed out the drain in the freezer and plugged it back in. It worked great for about a week and then the frost in the freezer built up again and it doesn't cool again. Please let me what part you think I should replace or it is time for a new unit? This one is about 14-15 years old. Thank you for your help.
Answer Hello Kim. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
