Randall S Pawcatuck , CT October 01, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator GTS22KBMARCC Freezer very cold and fridge warm Replaced defrost heater, temperature and defrost limiter thermostat. After taking the cover off the air chiller I found the coils frozen solid and defrosted it with a hair dryer. Once defrosted I remover the heater coil to test it it was fine, then I could see the defrost limiter was broken and as I put the unit back together I broke the heater tube (it is glass) so I ordered all the parts that might be defective and replaced them for less than the charge of having some one come to check it out.

Athelstan H San Diego , CA April 26, 2018 Appliance: Model GE GTS18JCPBRWW Freezer cold; refrigerator warm coils filled with ice sheet First I replaced the defrost timer because I read this was a likely culprit. I didn't have a multimeter to test. After a week the problem re-surfaced. I researched further and found that if the Defrost Limiter Thermostat was exploded that it was probably bad. By exploded I mean that the seals on either end were uneven and burst. I replaced the thermostat and it looks like the problem is solved!
