Jon October 21, 2020 for Model Number GE PDSSOMFYCLSS Over the past few weeks my refrigerator will stop working for a few hours or even a day. The temperature will increase past the 37/0 settings. Then it will start working again and get down to the correct settings. No issues with power. No issues it seems with defrost cycle. The fan works but it seems the compressor will not start. Could it be the board or perhaps the defrost thermostat? Maybe a sensor?
1 Answer Jon, if the condenser fan near the compressor is operating when the temperatures are rising, the compressor should be operating as well. If the compressor is not operating in this circumstance, the failure could be in the main control WR55X10832, start relay WR07X10131, or the compressor WR87X20798. If there is 120VAC being sent to the start relay after the temperatures have risen 7° above the set temperature and the condenser fan is operating, then the start relay has more than likely failed (commonly a click from the overload will occur). If there is not 120VAC and the condenser fan is running, then the main control has failed. By isolating whether the main control is or is not sending voltage, and if the relay is good, the compressor can be identified as being operational or not. Read More...
Richard June 08, 2019 for Model Number PDSF0MFXARWW When I plug in the refrigerator the temp shows 63 for both. I set the freezer on 0 and the fridge on 34. After a few seconds they both go back to 63. I can hear the unit running but I can't change the temp setting back to 0 or 34 it goes back to 63. I was wondering if it is the main control board or the temp control board.
1 Answer Richard, the user interface control will display both the set temp and the current temp. When it is switching to 63, it is displaying the current temperature that the unit senses each section is at. Read More...
Nate May 05, 2019 for Model Number PFSF2MJXBWW Hi. The digital display on my refrigerator shows a scrolling "0" and then switches to a flashing "00 00". The compressor seems to be working. The water dispenser does not work.
1 Answer Nate, the scrolling zeros indicate that the refrigerator has entered diagnostic mode. You will need to unplug the unit for 5 minutes and then plug it back in. If the problem persists, then you may have a control board [WR55X10832] issue. Read More...
Stanley August 23, 2015 for Model Number PFSF2MIXA-WW This is a 3 door model. Ice forms at bottom of freezer and refrigerator does not cool. I'm sure I need part/parts but don't know what to order.
1 Answer Stanley, This issue would not require a part. This issue is caused by a clogged defrost drain. The reason that the refrigerator is not working is because the return air duct for the refrigerator is behind the evaporator and the ice build up in the defrost drain trough is clogging the air duct. You will want to clear out the drain trough and flush the drain tube. Once clear you will need to get the air duct unclogged. The only way to do this would be to try to thaw using hot water or empty the unit out and let it thaw with the doors open. Read More...
Uncle Ernie February 27, 2015 for Model Number PFSS2MJXBSS Sometimes my freezer will warm up to the mid 30s and some times it will drop down to -6 below 0. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Uncle Ernie, You should change the defrost thermostat WR50X10068 since it sounds like it may be sticking, (not always opening at the proper temperature). Read More...
