Dtyagi for Model Number GSS25JETABB Every couple of years I have this repeated problem with my Side-by-Side GE GSS25JETABB refrigerator. I do not have any frost build-up when this happens and the defrost heater was replaced 4 years ago. Symptoms: a. Out of the blue one day I will notice that refrigerator side is warm (about 40 to 45F). b. When I check the freezer, it is almost near freezing (32F) and I can see water drops on the food containers in there c. Thinking it might be dust build-up in the back, I will unplug and clean the condenser area in the rear d. After I plug the refrigerator back in, it starts to work "normally" But the issue I continue to see is that the freezer is too cold. Even with the setting of "2" (from 1-9 scale) , the freezer temp is about -6 to -8 F. And the refrigerator is running a LOT more but I have no frost build-up. Has one of the thermistors gone bad or do I have a stuck defrost thermostat or is it something else? If it is a bad thermistor in the freezer, do I replace both or the main one near the evaporator coil? Thanks in advance
Answer Dtyagi, it would be recommended that the refrigerator and freezer thermistors WR55X10025 be tested for resistance from the main control WR55X10942C. With the power cord unplugged, the wires at connection J10 can be used. From the blue/white wire at pin 5, the freezer thermistor would be tested to the blue on white wire at pin 3 and the refrigerator thermistor to the yellow on white wire. The freezer thermistor should measure 40K to 50K Ohms (0 to -8 degrees) and the refrigerator thermistor should measure between 12K to 16K Ohms (41 to 32 degrees). If the thermistors test good, the failure would be in the main control. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, August 14, 2024
