Harry August 27, 2015 for Model Number PSS26NGSBBB How to check damper if good or bad and how to check temp sensors?
1 Answer Hello Harry. Sensors should read around 10K at room temp. Look for a broken door on the damper and see if there is power to it and it does not open and close. 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...
Shirley August 18, 2015 for Model Number PSF26N6 My GE Profile frig is too warm on the frig side (55) and not quite cold enough on the freezer (2-3) I have replaced the defrost thermostat, the sensor above the evaporator coil,also one sensor in the fresh food side behind the evaporator coil the frig had ice on both sides I'm not sure where the other sensors are, or if they are the problem I'm sure it's an easy fix.
1 Answer Hello Shirley. You will need to test the fan motor. Here is a link to our Repair Forum, this is a free service to our customers.

Jerry August 14, 2015 for Model Number GE PFCS1NFXCSS Both the freezer and fresh food sections started to get warm, up to 45 degrees. Noticed small amount of frost around back wall in freezer, unpluged the unit for about 5 minutes, long enough to get the food out of the freezer and plugged it back up. It started runnning and ran for about 10 minutes and then went into defrost mode and defrosted. I saw the water running in the pan under the unit. After which it started cooling and now is at -1 in the freezer and 35 in the refrig. section (over night). I have it set on 0 and 37 degrees. This is the second time this has happened within a 3 month period. I called GE and was told it just needed to be reset by unplugging it for a few minutes. I find it hard to believe that you would need to have to reset a refrig. by unplugging it every so often. I couldn't get the cover of the coil in the freezer to see if it was completely iced up. What do you think I should check at this point? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the main board WR55X10956 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Retried Dad June 27, 2015 for Model Number GSS25JFMBWW Experiencing frost building up on back wall of the freezer and on the coils when I removed the cover. I removed the defrost heater and it appears to have a loose/broken end because because the meter (digital auto ranging) jumps around to various readings or to infinity depending on pressure/jiggle when I have the probes in contact. So I am waiting for delivery of a replacement heater. I thought I would also check the thermostat and temperature sensor while I am waiting. I would like to check them for continuity. From what I see at least for the thermostat, they run to a harness/block. Would I need to cut the wires to remove them and test them?
1 Answer Hello Retried Dad, The thermistors can be checked from the control board if you have needle probes for your meter. Standard probes damage the connectors when used. The defrost thermostat can be checked with a resistance meter with power turned off but it will have to be below 20°F to produce a reading. Read More...
Tina June 23, 2015 for Model Number GSH22JSTASS The control panel doesn't work. no matter what you push on it, it will not light up. refrig and freezer not working. what would be wrong with it?
1 Answer Hello Tina. You will need to check and see if the main board WR55X10942C is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
John June 03, 2015 for Model Number GE GSH25KGPA Hello, My refrigerator model #GE GSH25KGPA (GE two sided) has problem of warming the fridge side, but the freezer side is cooling or works fine. I have already changed the defrost thermostat, which worked fine for about a month and then continued the same problem (Freezer cool and fridge warm). I had to turn the fridge off wait 8 hours and turn back on and it works fine for about a month and then goes back to same problem. I wonder if the problem is with temperature sensor or defrost heater. Please help me. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check the damper assembly for the fresh food side. If it is good, then go to the temp sensor. 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...
Doug April 29, 2015 for Model Number ge gsh25jgdww Hi my refrigerator/freezer started running warm and after reading about this model I just went and replaced the control board. With no change. The compressor short cycles. runs for about 30 seconds then shuts off for about a minute and repeats. The temp of the frig is about 47 and the freezer about 40. Any guess on what it could be. Temp sensors maybe?
1 Answer Doug, If the compressor runs for about 30 seconds then shuts off then you will want to check the inverter first to make sure that it is not faulty. If it checks ok then the short cycle would most likely be caused by a bad run winding on the compressor which would require the compressor to be replaced. The part number for the compressor is WR87X10111. Read More...
Jeremy G April 26, 2015 for Model Number PSS26PSTBSS I need to replace the thermistor in the freezer section of a PSS26PSTBSS. What is the correct size butt connector to use?
1 Answer Jeremy, You will want to use a 18-22 guage butt connector to install the thermistor in the freezer compartment. Read More...
Mikel February 08, 2015 for Model Number PFSS6PKXBSS I have water collecting under the deli drawer in the bottom of my refrigerator. When I took off the evaporator cover the drain was not iced over as I expected and I ran a about 3 cups of hot water down to the drain pan. I verified water was draining. I then removed the lower vent and found ice buildup around the gasket and it appeared water was coming down the vent. The next day water is back and I see ice around the lower air dampener.
1 Answer Hello Mikel. You need to blow air through the drain hose and make sure there is no clogs. It sounds like something is clogging the hose up. Read More...
Harold February 05, 2015 for Model Number GSS25QGTBWW GSS25QGTBWW: Refrigerator was running all the time, but getting warmer. The evaporator fan motor is bad, replaced it with the temp sensor. Worked fine for 3 days, then started running all the time but getting to cold. Have since replaced main control board, defrost heater, defrost thermostat, worked great for 4 days then started running all the time. Cut it off when reached -12 degrees. What now? Harold Sewell
1 Answer Harold, You will want to check the coils in the freezer compartment and make sure that the coils are not impacted with ice. If they are then the thermistor that sits on the evaporator that has most likely failed and would need to be replaced. Also check the damper of the unit and the sensor in the refrigerator to make sure that they are good. Read More...
