Robert B Morgantown , WV October 19, 2014 Ge side by side psc25 series ff section was not cooling well (42 degrees best it could do) Common theme on the blogs was thermistors and or defrost heater/thermostat. Ran self-diagnostics which turned on defrost heater which was fine. All five thermistors indicated ok on diagnostic also, but I read more than one time "replace the thermistors no matter what if your FF section isn't cooling". So I ordered all five thermistors and defrost limiter thermostat. Received all in 48 hours (great shipping service), took me about three hours to replace all thermistors and thermostat just as excellent how-to video indicated. Set to factory presets of 0 and 37 degrees. Next morning came downstairs, actual temperature: 0 and 37 degrees! Lowered FF section to 35 (wife's preference), reefer went right down to 35 and has stayed there since. Also had the common melting ice problem in ice maker which appears to be resolved by this repair. An hour or two of diagnostics, few hours to repair, 60 bucks and it's performing better than ever. Very pleased with the results. Read More... 30 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
Darryl M Bonfield , IL November 23, 2014 Was not getting cold in either freezer or frig section After taking the covers off the freezer section , I plugged the power cord back in to see if the evaporator fan was working, it was , then I looked at the condenser fan, it was also working ,I wondered at that point if it was the compresser. It started cooling so I left it plugged in, after a short time I noticed the compresser shut off and the defrost was on. I new at that point it was either a sensor or the mother board . The sensors checked out with the power but I wasn't sure if they were working properly so for 8.00 a sensor I changed them along with the mother board. Upon removing the motherboard I noticed a burnt spot in the back of the board , so at that time I'm thinking it was the motherboard. Installed the parts and it's been working ever since. Read More...
