I called GE for repair and they told me the earliest they could repair the refrigerator would be a week away. It was dead, no lights or sounds. I looked online for hints and found that there are only a couple of items that would cause it to be totally dead. The wall outlet was working, the line cord to the fridge had 120 volts at the end. So I followed the wires to the Mainboard and found it was getting 120 volts at the power input to the board. So I took a shot and ordered the board. It was here the next day. Unplugged the fridge and carefully replaced it and poof all is well.
Oh BTW, vacuum out the air intake around the condenser coil. It was clogged with dust.
