James February 20, 2014 for Model Number GTS22FBMARWW I just changed my main control board in my ge GTS22FBMARWW with a new WR55X10942. My serial number begins with TA so I did not cut any wires. I just swapped the boards out. My original board had a burnt resistor and the evaporator fan would not turn on. Well, know the fan turns on, but I have a new problem I didn't have before, my freezer is way to cold, I have it turned down to a minimum at "1" and my fridge at "5". So my freezer is at 10F and my fridge is a 40F. I would like my freezer to be at 32F. but its at a setting of "1" so I can't turn it down anymore, and its consuming a lot of electricity keeping my freezer that cold. What do you guys think???
1 Answer James, It sounds like your freezer is sitting at 10 degrees and the refrigerator at 40 then it is working properly. The freezer should run at 0 degrees when set on the middle setting of 5 with a plus or minus 5 degrees. If the freezer were at 32 it would not freeze items properly. Read More...
Rich February 19, 2014 for Model Number dss25kstb (GE) Sometimes the evap fan runs - BUT, most of the time not. Compressor is cycling REALLY screws temps/things up in freezer/frig compartments when evap fan's not running No large "burnt" resistors on control board. How do I take off the evaporator fan's plunum cover to get to the evap fan motor?
1 Answer Hello Rich. Here is a video to help you replace the part in the unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny_EUPAm5VU Also, here is a link on how to test the part. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/refrigerator-freezer-repair/4220-ge-refrigerators-gs-ps-models-evaporator-fan-motor-test-replacement.html Read More...
Peter S. February 16, 2014 for Model Number GSS25UFMB BB Both sides of refrigerator are not cooling. I have turned off temperature control and turned both back on and it still does not cool. I do not hear a clicking sound like the compressor trying to start. Does this sound like the compressor has failed or could it be the main control board? Would the best solution be to buy a new refrigerator?
1 Answer Hello Peter. Test for power from the main board to the compressor. If you do not have power there, you will need to order and replace the main control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello Amy, You will need to pull the unit out and unplug it from the power supply. The board WR55X10942C is behind a panel on the back wall of the refrigerator cabinet. Read More...
Heath February 09, 2014 for Model Number GSS25WSTFSS My GE Profile side by side refrigerator no longer dispenses water. I unplugged the appliance and waited 5 minutes and when I plugged it back in, the display on the temperature panel cycles through 0s from left to right and then will occasionally blink 4 zeros. It seems to be stuck in diagnostic mode. Is there a part I can replace to repair this problem?
1 Answer Hello Heath. Try resetting the unit again. If it continues, replace the main board. For the dispenser, your water line in the freezer door may be frozen and need to be thawed out on the unit. Read More...
Rob February 08, 2014 for Model Number gsc23kstass My water dispenser don't work. I tried thawing out the line by leaving on the light of the outside of the refridge for a 2 days and nothing happened. What may be the problem for this unit? Thx Rob
1 Answer Hello Rob. Remove the line from the bottom of the door and see if water comes out there. If so, the line in the freezer door is frozen and will need to be thawed out. Read More...

Pat Miller January 28, 2014 for Model Number psc23sgpa Neither side cooling or freezing yesterday. turned on turbocool last night and now they are both working this am. Replace motherboard? thanks. pat
1 Answer Pat, This issue does sound like it would be caused by a bad control board but may also have to do with the thermistors. You will want to check the thermistors in the unit. At 0 degrees the thermistor should read 42.2K ohms, at 37 degrees the reading should be 14.4K ohms and at room temp of 77 degrees the resistance should be 5K ohms. If out of range then replace the thermistors. If the thermistors check ok then it would be the main control. Read More...
Clayton January 27, 2014 for Model Number gsh25jsta ss My GE refrigerator is continually freezing the drinking water line. I have thawed the unit and placed some weed whip cord inside of the water line so when this occurs we only need to pull out the line to clear the ice. as much as I enjoy redneck engineering I would love to really fix this. was thinking that replacing the control board would do it but was wondering if it may be a sensor?
1 Answer Hello Clayton. You will need to order and install the heater kit WR49X10173 onto the unit. Read More...
Mike G. January 23, 2014 for Model Number GSH25JFXBWW Will not make ice and no water at the dispenser. Have changed the filter. Thank you
1 Answer Mike, you'll need to check the water inlet valve WR57X33326 and replace if defective. Thanks. Read More...
