Al August 19, 2013 for Model Number Ge refrigerator tpx24bpbj We came home from vaction and freezer was one big block of ice could not open door for 5 days. I thought the water valve was stuck opened as after it thawed I hooked water back up and it started overflowing ice maker. But when I unpluged it it quit flowing. So I thought it might be the ice maker board but some see to think its the master or main board. Everything else is working I pull the wire off the water valve so we are able to use the frig but we are without a ice maker now.
1 Answer Al, The issue with your unit would be in the icemaker as there is not a main control board that the icemaker would go through. You will want to replace the icemaker WR30X10093. Read More...
Brandy August 18, 2013 for Model Number gss25qgsc bb Hello. I have a GE sxs model number: gss25qgsc bb. Several weeks ago the fridge side stopped cooling. I then discovered frost on the back panel of the freezer and determined that the coils were completely frozen. After some internet research I discovered that the defrost heaters can be a common problem so I ordered a new one and defrosted the coils with a hair dryer for the meantime. Once the new heater came in I removed the old heater and using a multi-meter tested it for continuity. The old heater tested fine but I went ahead and replaced it to be sure. I also removed the thermostat and tested it for continuity as well to ensure that it was good and it was. However, all of this has not fixed my problem. The fridge will cool for a couple of weeks until the coils freeze over again at which point I have to defrost with a hair dryer to keep things working. I am thinking this may be a main control board issue, but I hate to keep throwing money into parts when I don't know for sure. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Brandy. If the heater, thermostat, and thermistor are good, you will need to replace the main board on the unit to repair it. Read More...
Nadine August 17, 2013 for Model Number Gsh25jsrfss My mothers refrigerator is running but not cooling on the freezer or frig side. Please advise.
1 Answer Hello Nadine. If the compressor is running, but the unit is not cooling, you have an HVAC issue and will need a certified tech to repair the unit. If the compressor is clicking, but not running, you need to check the starter and main 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...
Tom August 16, 2013 for Model Number PSI23SGMDFBS This unit is not cooling the freezer is at 44a and fridge at 59 compressor was not running unit I cycled the express chill function then it kicked on. I have it running now and is dropping but the express option only runs 45 minutes and then what? Compressor is warm to touch but e coil in freezer is getting cold on the lower half.
1 Answer Tom, You will want to check to make sure that the condenser fan motor is running. If not running when the compressor is running then you will want to check to make sure that there is 12 vdc coming to the fan motor. If this checks ok then you will want to test your thermistors to make sure that they have the proper resistance. The resistance values of the thermistors should be 42.2K ohms @ 0 degrees, 14.4K @ 37 degrees and 5K @ 77 degrees. If not within range then replace the thermistor. Check to make sure that the coils in behind the freezer wall are not impacted with ice. If they are then there is a defrost issue in which you will want to check the continuity of the heater and defrost limiter. If it does not have continuity then replace the part. If all these check ok and the evaporator coil has an even frost pattern then the issue would be in the control board. If the evaporator only gets a partial frost pattern then it sounds like a sealed system type of issue of a possible leak. Read More...
Joe N August 13, 2013 for Model Number GSHS6PGYAESS I have a 2 year old GE refrigerator GSHS6PGYAESS the ice and water dispenser quit working. I replaced the water valve and this didn't solve the problem. I had just replaced the water filter also. The water dispenser does not work but you can hear some clicking noises sometimes when you push the dispenser paddle. And the icemaker has never refilled with water. The refrigerator functions well otherwise. Please help with any suggestions.
1 Answer Joe, With the icemaker not making ice and the dispenser not dispensing the most likely cause of failure would be the filter head assembly WR17X22072. Read More...
Losthope August 07, 2013 for Model Number GE GSH22KGMBBB I bought a used fridge, GE side by side model#GSH22KGMBBB for $300 and now I've put $100 more into it for a shelf and new water valve so the water dispenser works. But now my fridge does not defrost anymore. I took the defrosting unit out and it has continuity as well as the defrost thermostat. What else could it be? Also, the ice maker work can make ice, but water doesn't really dispense into it to allow the ice to be made. It dispensed water into the icemaker for about 1/2 a second and stops. If I catch it at that time, I can flip the switch on and off and it'll dispense for half a second each time I turn it on and then I stop when it's full and it'll make ice But the same thing happens on the next cycle. Any ideas?
1 Answer Losthope, You will want to check the defrost thermistor. The thermistor should have a resistance of 42.2K ohms at 0 degrees. If outside of this range then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If within range then the main control board would be the issue. Other points of reference for the thermistor resistance for any of the thermistors on the unit are 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. Read More...
Tj August 07, 2013 for Model Number pfs22sisbss I got a mew main board for my fridge. the installation instructions say cut the white wire in pin 2 of j1 harness. I don't have a wire their, so no big deal. step 4 tells me to cut the green wire in the capacitor board. but there diagram looks like nothing like what I have. I have 3 wires in my harness B,W,G not the B,B,G,W,W that they show. I do NOT have the plastic housing they show, my lines just come from the power cord. also they say cut the green wire, mine is green with a yellow tracer. the wire I have is just a ground. and my board went bad from bad capacitors on the main board. SO that being said, should I cut my green and yellow wire? ? ? ?
Sammy August 07, 2013 for Model Number GSH25VGRECC My side by side just stopped working. Lights go on but no other noise or controls for temperature are on. It is all blank.
1 Answer Hello Sammy, The most likely cause of this symptom is the main board WR55X10942C. Read More...
Jeff August 06, 2013 for Model Number PDS22SHRBRSS The box that contains the digital temperature readout and lights on the inside top of the refrigerator has stopped working. As it was dying it was making clicking sounds. The refrigerator and lights are still working fine, but I do not have the ability to control the temperature. Has the Main Control Board gone or is it something else? Thanks for your help!
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the main control board on the unit. Read More...
Marianne August 05, 2013 for Model Number PFS22MBSBBB Concerning a GE Profile Refrigerator purchased Nov 2006. Had the control board replaced June 2010. Now is displaying erratic temperature changes just as before. Has GE improved the quality of part No WR55X10942? Hate to exchange it and face the same problem again!
1 Answer Marianne, We are unaware of any significant changes in the control board made by GE. Read More...
