Mavis 12 year old GE profile side-by-side model PSHWy6XCDSS working great on freezer side, fridge side fluctuating between 39-50 degrees even though it is set to 35. LCD display temp on the panel accurately shows 0 for the freezer but display temp for fridge shows 35 even though the fridge is 10+ degrees hotter. Repairman determine the fan is running and the compressor is running. He then removed the temp sensor from the inside of the fridge and when he realized he didn't have that part on his truck he put the old sensor back in. Oddly enough it started working again and has worked perfectly for 5 days. The LCD temp agrees with (is close to) the temp monitoring device I still have in the fridge and they both show that it stays within the normal range. Food is colder now in the fridge. Should we be replacing the temp sensor anyway (since the repairman didn't) or wait for this one to have a problem? One other thing noted by repairman was that drain pan under the fridge was bone dry and has been that way for some time so GE said replace the compressor, but honestly everything looks perfectly normal now that temp sensor was reconnected.
Answer Hello Mavis, from your description it does sound like the temp sensor is the problem, however the model number you provided does not show as a valid model number. If you would recheck the model number and repost your question we will be able to find the part. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, July 8, 2019
