Sooz I wanted to comment on my previous question for my GE Cafe, however I couldn't add or delete. I am Sooz and we did get our problem resolved. We changed out our ice maker blower fan, and the new fan didn't seem to work, just rocked off on and on. Now that was when we had the bottom freezer drawer open and then we would open the fridge door to check the upper vent and no air was coming into ice maker. We put the freezer drawer back together and then replaced the control board on the back of the fridge. We then opened the door to the fridge and still no air flow. We didn't think it was fixed, however it started making ice. We then had a thought that we hadn't seen in any blog that maybe when you open the door the air flow stopped so we opened it and pressed the door switch as if the door was closed and then we felt the cold air flow out the upper vent. Our problem was the control board, so now we have an extra fan.
Answer Sooz, Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you're refrigerator is up and running properly. Most manufacturers have designed and wired the controls to eliminate the evaporator/circulation fan motors from running when the door is open, this reduces the possibility of the warmer room air being drawn in and circulating through the compartments creating frost and ice. You may want to hold on to the extra fan, just in case, or list it for sale on one of the internet web sites? Thanks Again, Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, November 19, 2019
