Tomas December 16, 2013 for Model Number PDS520MCRABB Hi Good Morning. How do I know if the temperature sensor .(How do I Check it), Is No Good ????? How to determine if the temperature sensor does not work???.,., Cools well below the fridge does not keep the temperature as it should be.,.Tnks.,.,Tomy,.
1 Answer Hello Tomas. The resistance value of the sensors should be 42.2K ohms at 0 degrees, 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. 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...
Helzing December 02, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JSXBSS I am having trouble getting my refrigerator defrosting. I hired a technician to fix it but it still doesn't work correctly. I am having to manually defrost the coils once a week or once every 2 weeks. I have replaced the heater and the mother board hoping that would fix the problem. I recently saw a video you have on replacing the defrost thermostat, would that be what is keeping my heater from turning on? I have done other research and found out that there are 2 temperature sensors in my freezer. What should i change first the thermostat or the sensors?
1 Answer Helzing, You would want to change the thermistor that sits on top of the evaporator coil. In most cases this is defective and causes the unit to not enter the defrost cycle. The thermistor is part number WR55X10025. Read More...
Mike December 02, 2013 for Model Number Gss25lgtaww My food compartment has been freezing the food. I have lowered the temp as low as it will go. I suspect the thermistors to be at fault, there are two. I have pulled out the wiring as far as it will go, there is a blue plug at the end in the hole not sure what it is. I'm afraid to pull it out. If I replace the thermistor how is the connection made The part number I have for replacement is wr55x10025 is this correct?
1 Answer Hello Mike. No, these are spliced into the existing wires. You must cut the wires and splice in the new part. Read More...
Ronny November 22, 2013 for Model Number PFSS2MIXBSS Hello. I have a problem with a GE bottom freezer refrigerator . The problem is that the temperature displayed on the control panel does not match the temperaruta of thermometers , which were made to verify the true temperature of the refrigerator . While the panel shows that the freezer has 4 temperature , the thermometer reads 0 . While the fridge shows 39 , the thermometer shows 37 . The initial problem with this GE refrigerator was that temperature gauges never coincided with the programmed temperature , 37 in the fridge, freezer 0 . To solve this problem the thermistor(I replaced the thermistor from the refrigerator, freezer and evaporator) and the motherboard is changed . But the problem persists. The temperature never reaches 0 or 37 . Today I found another problem in the refrigerator. When press the button Turbo Cool is shown in the temperature display from the refrigerator letters EC....... That may be happening with this refrigerator ? .... why so many problems?...
1 Answer Ronny, The temperature fluctuation of a refrigerator is plus or minus 5 in the freezer and plus or minus 3 degrees in the refrigerator section. The temps that the unit is reading is within range of this temp fluctuation. Read More...
Robert November 20, 2013 for Model Number GSS25WGMDBB Freezer appears to be working but food cabinet not getting cold. Damper door was closed and I opened it and it started to get cold again. Food cabinet again stopped getting cold air and I opened damper again, but has not received any cold air from freezer (left damper open overnight). Bad temperature sensor?

Peggy November 08, 2013 for Model Number PFS22SISBSS The freezer is not keeping temperature. Changed the main control panel and the ice maker works now! Freezer temperature still runs between 0-25. Does it need a new thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Peggy, If the fan in the freezer WR60X10146, or WR60X10196, will start back up at full speed when you force it to stop, replace the temperature sensor WR55X10025 in the freezer compartment. If the fan motor starts slowly or has to be bumped to get it spinning at full speed, the fan motor will require replacement. Read More...
Fm November 04, 2013 for Model Number PSS26SGPASS How do I determine if Evaporator Fan, Damper or Sensor is bad for the following symptom: Fridge temp won't stay at 37 degrees and freezer won't stay at 0 degrees. I assume the Temp Control Sensor is not working. I set both and neither will come to the recommended temps. I have already replaced the Defrost Heater P/N AP3183311 and Defrost Limiter Thermostat P/N AP3884317
1 Answer Hello FM. If the freezer has frost in it, you need to replace the main board if the thermistor is good on the coils. If there is no frost, you will need to try cleaning the condenser coils and check the condenser fan motor. Read More...
Cannon C October 28, 2013 for Model Number GSH25ISXBSS Fridge temp won't stay at 37 degrees and freezer won't stay at 0 degrees. I assume the Temp Contol Sensor is not working. I can set both and neither will come to the recommended temps. The freezer is at 4 or 5 degrees and the fridge temp is around 31 degrees.
1 Answer Cannon, You will want to make sure that the condenser coils are clean and the condenser fan motor is running. With the Refrigerator temp at around 31 degrees you will want to check the damper door in the refrigerator to ensure that the damper is not staying open. You will also want to check the temperature sensors to make sure that they are good. The resistance value of the sensors should be 42.2K ohms at 0 degrees, 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. Read More...
Addison October 27, 2013 for Model Number GSS25SGRESS Top shelves are not cold or freezing in the refrigerator and freezer.
1 Answer Addison, You will want to check to see if the evaporator fan motor in the freezer is working. If it is not then most likely the fan motor is burnt out and would need to be replaced. If it is working then you will want to check to see if there is frost building on the rear wall. If so then you can check the defrost limiter to see if it has continuity. If it does not have continuity then you would not need to change it out. You will also want to check the defrost thermistor for resistance. The resistance values should be as follows, 42.5K at 0 degrees, 14.4k at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. If not within range then it would need to be replaced. If it checks good then also check the defrost heater for continuity. If no continuity then replace and if good with continuity and all other components check ok then you would need a new main control board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Mickey October 24, 2013 for Model Number pss25ngmdww My refrigerator gets too cold and does not respond to the temp set. I purchased a replacement sensor temp part number WR55X10025. I need to know where the sensor temp is located and how to get at it. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Mickey. I am providing a link to the diagram page. The sensors are located behind some covers on the side wall of the unit. The covers unsnap from the side wall. They are number 234 in the diagram link. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/fresh-food-section-parts-for-ge-pss25ngmdww.html Read More...
