Roberto L September 22, 2013 for Model Number gss27rspabs Compressor is not starting to work and digital panel that controls temperature is off as well the outside control panel to select water, ice, etc. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Roberto, This issue would be caused by a faulty main control board. The control board will operate the compressor and the display board and if both are not working then the main control WR55X10942C will need to be replaced. Read More...
Fred September 22, 2013 for Model Number GSS25WSTISS I have a GE side by side refrigerator model GSS25WSTISS . At first the water and ice dispenser would not work at all , but the lights on the key board would light. Now the key board does not work at all.I feel the main circuit board is the problem . Do you feel this to be the case , if so will your board listed as AP4436216 work as a replacement? Thanks Fred
1 Answer Hello Fred. If there is no power and the wires are good, you will need to replace the main board WR55X10942C. 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...
Daniel P. September 22, 2013 for Model Number GE PFS22SIS Freezer is intermittently melting and re-freezing, evidenced by the ice tray becoming a solid joined mass of ice cubes.
1 Answer Daniel, The first check should be at the defrost bi metal (thermostat) WR50X10047 If it is "sticky" or has become dislodged from the evaporator, due to excess ice, etc. the heater will remain on longer than designed and cause excessive heat and melting in the freezer compartment. If the thermostat looks and checks OK, then replace the control board. Read More...
Mark S September 16, 2013 for Model Number GE GSH25JST SS Hello, My freezer is making an intermittent 'howling' noise. It seems like it is coming from the fan compartment in the freezer below the ice maker. The fan seems like it is running at variable speeds. In looking at the forums I believe the fan motor needs replaced but I am also seeing some posts saying that it is the main control board. Please advise which part you think needs replaced based on the symptoms. Thank you!

Ryan September 14, 2013 for Model Number hss25gfta I have a hotpoint side by side and it will not defrost. I have replaced the control board and the defroster and it continues to frost over. It is notw making ice which is was not prior to these items being relplaced but not keeping ice cream frozen. I do not see the defroster heat up. I am going to purchase a thermostat . Is there any other thing that might be causing these issues
1 Answer Ryan, You will want to test the thermistor that is located on the evaporator coil. This thermistor controls the defrost. The resistance value of the thermistor WR55X10025 should be 42.2k ohms at 0 degrees. With replacing the defrost heater and control board this is the most likely cause. Read More...
Ramon September 09, 2013 for Model Number PTS25LHPARBB I have a GE Artica top freezer - refrigerator. The temperatures have risen in both units. I cleaned the coils and the temperatures remains too warm -- 28 (set at -4) and 50 (set at 34). Do I need to replace the motherboard? If so, is there a YouTube Video showing it being done? I see that there are instructions, do they come with the part? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Ramon. You need to check and see if the condenser fan motor is running good. If not, it could be the issue with the unit. If it is good, look for a defrost issue or partial frost on the coils. Read More...
Tonya September 03, 2013 for Model Number pds20mbrbb Temp controls don't work. Try to set fridge &/or freezer temp to recommended levels (or any levels) but the display just reverts back to 70 for fridge & 40 or so for freezer. Have heard online suggestions that mainboard may have circuits damaged or that the board is bad, was recalled & may be replaced under warranty. Not sure if it's still under warranty. Guess I can find out. But if replacing the mainboard (which I heard is really easy) then why not do that? Any ideas would be appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Tonya. It doews lead to the main board if the display board is good 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...

Debbie September 03, 2013 We have a GE side by side refrigerator model no. HSM25GFTA SA when the defrost cycle goes on in the freezer, it gets so hot that everything starts to melt, can no longer keep any food in the freezer. Do we need to replace the whole mother board to correct this problem. I am hearing that the defrost timer is on the mother board.
1 Answer Hello Debbie. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the mother board is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Leon September 03, 2013 for Model Number GE Mod#PSC23NSTDSS I have a GE Arctica Mod#PSC23NSTD that just went completely dead a few days ago with absolutely no function except some very faint blinking on the temp display. This unit has had some temp control problems over the past couple of years. Back then I had talked to a local appliance dealer/parts supplier (I fix some appliances localy among other things) who said it was probably the mobo because they were known to have problems with faulty caps on the mobo itself. The temp control problems went away when I started running the "custom cool" option a few months ago. Now the fridge is completely dead and I am pretty sure it's the mobo. So if I replace the mobo - what are some of the other things that can cause it's failure other than defective caps? Evaporator fan motor? Condenser fan motor? Fresh food motor? Appreciate your input - thanks.
1 Answer Hello Leon. It just sounds like the main board has failed and will need to be replaced. It does not sound like an issue with the other parts. Read More...
