Fredw November 29, 2022 for Model Number GFSL6KKYCLS The bottom freezer is not freezing (38F) although the control panel shows it at -2F. There is ice buildup at the very top of the freezer back wall evaporate coil and where the freon line enters, not too much. both evaporate fans are running fine, defrost heater was tested at 54.8ohm, defrost thermostat was tested open at about 60F. The compressor and condenser fan all run ok. The condenser coil is clean, the fresh food section is cool at 38F, and the condenser is not hot to the touch. Shall I replace both temp sensors WR23X10582 and WR23X10580 in the freezer or add freon? The upper fresh food section cools down ok but there is water buildup at the bottom of the pull-out tray, is this due to sensor WR23X10582?
1 Answer Fred, Thanks for the question!!! Two things I would suggest. First, for the water in the fridge section. This is likely caused by a clogged defrost drain in the fridge section. The freezer section is likely a sealed system issue but this can be verified by testing the freezer thermistors. Reading for the thermistors should be in a range like @ 0 F…………...42.5k Ohms, @32 F…………..16.3k Ohms, @37 F…………..14K Ohms. Check your tech sheet for more details. Read More...
Craig November 27, 2022 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS Ok, my S/Blue wire has no voltage on it, the red wire has 120 volts. what does this mean no pwr coming from S/Blue wire?? Thanks My compressor does not come on. How can I test to see if power is getting to the compressor? my compressor has 3 pins in total. 1 upper and two lower. the overload relay is on the upper and the start relay is connected to the lower 2 pins. How do I test the wires coming into these pins for pwr with a multimeter? Craig for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS ANSWER Craig, Thanks for the Question!!! The voltage to the compressor would be tested at the S/Blue and Red wires: Here is a good video that will show how to check the relay and overload: https://youtu.be/OPVZeKvxjEI
1 Answer Craig, Based on the model number provided you should read 120vac with the meter leads to the blue and red wires (one meter lead to each wire) and this should be done when the compressor should be on and running. When testing for power be careful not to touch the wires or let them touch the cabinet due to the chance of shortage or shock. Read More...

Craig November 23, 2022 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS The compressor is not running. There is one temp sensor in the fridge evap coil wr23x10582 and also one in the freezer wr23x10580. Can either of these temp senor's cause the compressor not to come on, if the sensor is bad? Also, question is what should the start relay on the compressor test out at in terms of ohms? Any other ideas? The overload has ohm tested at .3 ohms - is that good? The start relay has ohms is 1.2 ohms?
1 Answer Craig, Thanks for the question!!! Yes, a bad sensor can cause the compressor to not run. For the details on the overload and relay check out this video, it will have more troubleshooting for your issue as well: https://youtu.be/OPVZeKvxjEI Read More...
Craig November 17, 2022 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS What is the ohms at room temp and also 32 degrees for temp sensor da32-10104n. and yes i understand this is a samsung part and not for my GE. Thanks
1 Answer Craig, the Samsung defrost sensor would measure 5K Ohms at 77°F and 13.290K Ohms at 32°F. Read More...
Craig November 17, 2022 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS I noticed that there are two temp sensors, one for the fridge fresh foods section evaporator wr23x10582 and also the freezer wr23x10580. what should the ohms reading be on these two sensors at room temp and then at 32 degress? should they be the same or different? Thanks
1 Answer Craig, the resistances for both thermistors would read 13.2K Ohms at 32°F, 8.9K Ohms at 50°F, and 5K Ohms at 77°F. Read More...
Garry May 23, 2022 for Model Number PFSS6PKX Replaced the main board, now the temp on the front doesn't display....just blinks. what now maybe? I can't adjust any settings...ice, water, temp, alarm.
1 Answer Garry, We will need to get the full model number of your refrigerator to be able to assist with your question properly. There may have been changes in design between the one you got and several others that come up. Read More...
Mark October 15, 2021 for Model Number PFSS6PKWASS Food compartment not cooling to set temp. I have the fresh food temp set to 36-degress, but the cooling range is 36-44. 44 seems too warm (my other refrigerators range between 34-38). Fan is blowing, coils are not frozen over. Freezer works perfectly (set-point is 0 and range is -4 to 2). Is this a problem with the temp sensor or within expected range?
1 Answer Mark, Thanks for the question!!! You would need to test your thermistor in the fridge to see if it is ok, see chart below. If the thermistor is good, it would most likely be the control board. @ 0 F…………...42.5k Ohms @32 F…………..16.3k Ohms @37 F…………..14K Ohms @41 F…………...12.7k Ohms @50 F…………...10k Ohms @77 F…………...5K Ohms Read More...
Nick May 30, 2021 for Model Number PFSS6PKXSS Unit temperatures are at set point but I still hear the compressor running last time I had issues with the defrost sensor I changed that the heaters and the fan motor so I don’t have issues but do you think that the board is going
1 Answer Nick, It would be recommended to see if the temperature sensors are good by testing the resistance at the board. The room temperature resistance should be 5k ohms. Read More...
Nick May 13, 2021 for Model Number PFSS6PKXDSS Evaporator ices up in two months in the refrigerator section what needs to be replaced and does it have a defrost timer?
1 Answer Hello Nick, first access the ref evap coil and check if the defrost thermistor is still secure to the coil tubing, if not correct it as needed, it has to be making good contact with the tubing. If it is secure to the tubing, replace it with part WR23X10582 defrost thermistor. If the problem continues then replace the main control board. Your model does not use a defrost timer, defrost operation is through the main control board. Read More...
