Barry January 03, 2019 GE GSS25KGTAWW. Freezer set at 0 degrees. In 2 days, Freezer is -2, 4 days -6. When I reset it on the Control Box, in less than 24 hours, back to 0 degrees. What controls the temperature in freezer from getting colder than 0 degrees after setting? What part needs to be replaced? Please advise and Thank you.
1 Answer Barry, For this issue you will want to check to make sure that the sensors are good. The sensor can be tested for resistance and at 0 degrees it should have a resistance of 42.2K ohms. Read More...
Shar L September 11, 2018 for Model Number GSS25WGTABB I am going to change my sensor seal and should I buy and change the sensor that goes behind it that is in the grill on my refrigerator and freezer inside interior wall? I changed my GE limiter thermostat and defrost heater and bracket inside my freezer that I bought from you. My freezer has been forming frost on the inside interior. No seal door leak. The thermostat is the same to change with the seal on your site right? Thanks GE model no GSS25WGTABB for thermostat sensor and sensor seal. I can use both thermostat sensors inside the refrigerator and freezer behind the plastic grill it sits and snaps in? Please let me know. Does it matter if my refrigerator is a energy star also ? Thanks
1 Answer Shar, The sensor seal would normally not go bad and would want to replace the sensor behind the wall of the freezer if the unit is building heavy ice on the evaporator coils. Read More...
Matthew November 28, 2016 for Model Number PGCS1PJXASS I have a GE French-Door Refrigerator with Armoire Style Double Drawer freezer - PGCS1PJXASS and am having temperature issues. The other day the freezer reading was at 22 degrees and the fridge was at 33. I pulled the fridge out and noticed that the condenser assembly was caked with dust. I vacuumed it off and then blew it out with my air compressor. I put everything back and after one day the display for the freezer is at 0. Now the freezer fluctuates from -1 to 4 degrees (set at 0) and the fridge fluctuates from 33-39 (set at 37). In the past 6 years I have had this unit it always stayed a constant 0 and 37. Is there any fix needed for this. It seems that the fridge gets cold when the freezer warms up and vice versa.
1 Answer Matthew, There is a average normal fluctionation of approximately +/- 5 degrees in the refrigerator section and +/- 3 degrees in the refrigerator compartment. It sounds like the unit is operating normally and if the temps are off more than that the sensors would be the first thing to check and would test for 5K ohms at room temp. IF they are off then would need to replace the sensors. This should not be necessary with the temp section. Read More...
Jerry November 14, 2015 for Model Number PSCS5RGXCFSS Fresh food side very damp. Lot of moisture buildup on Freezer side wall. Water on back of fridge under the cooling coil. Fan runs, no ice on coils.
1 Answer Jerry, With there being moisture in the refrigerator section you will want to check the evaporator coils to see if there is ice build up on them. Also check to see if the refrigerator section fan is working. It is possible that either of these can cause the moisture issue. Also check the door seal to make sure that there is no air leak around the seal. Read More...
Ant October 24, 2014 for Model Number pdss5nbwarss My refrigerator keeps perfect temperature at 37 degrees but my freezer no longer drops to 0 degrees. I can get 9-10 degrees at the lowest and at times it will raise to 19-21 degrees. I checked the coil and it is not frozen, I am thinking it may be going on defrost or something too often. Any ideas on what this might be? I have cleaned the condenser coil but still the temp will not reach 0 degrees. I don't think it is low on charge
1 Answer Hello Ant, If both fans are running while the compressor is on, the air flow inside and outside the unit is sufficient, and the compressor is not running hot, the only thing that can cause this is a Freon loss. If the compressor is running hot there is the possibility of a partial restriction in the sealed system. Read More...
Brandon L July 10, 2014 for Model Number GE Profile Fridge PDSS5NBWARSS My fridge stopped cooling, both the freezer and fridge are near room temperature . The condenser fan still runs but the compressor is not turning on and does not make sounds like it is trying to turn on. When we bought the fridge 6 years ago there was a leak in a refrigerant line and a tech came out and repaired the leak. It has been working since then. I am looking for suggestions to repair or to further troubleshoot the fridge.
1 Answer Hello Brandon. Test for power to the compressor. If there is none there, you will need to order and replace the main board WR55X10956 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...
Nestor May 03, 2014 for Model Number pshw6ygxcdss The coil behind the fresh food compartment (in the refrigerator) is freezing up. I defrosted it manually and the fan runs, but it freeze again. What could this be?
1 Answer Nestor, you'll need to check the defrost thermostat WR50X10065 and heater WR51X10055. If those are good you'll need to replace the main board, part number WR55X10956. Thanks. Read More...
Andres P February 11, 2014 for Model Number GE Profile PSCS5RGXAFSS Something seems to be wrong on the fresh food side. I added a thermometer inside to see what is wrong. The panel on the front shows one reading but inside is different temperature. Sometimes outside shows 47 but inside is 37 and sometimes the opposite. it will show lower on the panel and be warm inside. I'm not getting any frozen on the coil and all fans are running Ok. I am thinking it might be the temperature sensor? Also i notice the gaskets are braking on both doors but the freezer seems to be keeping the temp just fine.
1 Answer Andres, The sensor WR55X10025 is the most likely cause for the unit not cooling properly and having a temperature variation. The sensor at 37 degrees should read 14.4K ohms and at room temp 5K ohms. If out of range then replace the thermistor. If the gaskets are not sealing properly then they will need to be replaced.

Tom November 18, 2012 for Model Number PSS26NGPA CC The refrigerator temp control is set to 37 but reads between 29-30 and the produce is freezing. Do I have a faulty sensor?
1 Answer Hello Tom, You may want to check your damper door WR49X10091 to make sure that the door is not broken. The door being broken will cause freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Read More...
George June 05, 2011 for Model Number GSS23QGTABB Im having problem with GE side by side. Freezer has frost on back wall, but warming up, and fridge is warming up. Condensor fan is running, all is clean, fresh food side I just changed the damper fan. If its the thermostats in fresh food side, how do you install??? Pry out and splice??? I still have to check the heater and if all fails the control board too.
1 Answer Hello George. If there is frost, you will need to test the heater WR51X10055, and the defrost thermostat WR50X10068. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If they 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. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
