Jim September 09, 2013 for Model Number pss26psta (GE Profile) My temperature runs about 8 degrees warmer than I have it set for in both the refrigerator and freezer. If I want to get the temperature in the freezer as close to the 0 degree recommended setting I have to set it at -6. For the fridge I have to set it on the lowest setting of 34 degrees to get the temp down to 42. What is the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Jim, You will want to test the temperature sensors to make sure that they are within range. The sensors should have a resistance value of 42.2K ohms @ 0 degrees, 14.4k ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. If not within range then replace the sensors and if within range then replace the main control board. Read More...
Christopher September 04, 2013 for Model Number glht212hq3 i have a frigadaire gallery that is not running cold enough to keep the milk fresh, i have adjusted the control , but still it isn't cold enough what part may i need to fix this issue
1 Answer Christopher, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello Donna. The Sensor resistance should be as follows: 42.2K ohms @ 0 degrees, 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K... more ohms @ 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...
Roger B August 23, 2013 for Model Number pfss5njwass Fridge cools off but after it sets it will get warm.
1 Answer Roger, You will want to check the temperature sensors resistance to make sure that they are good. The Sensor resistance should be as follows: 42.2K ohms @ 0 degrees, 14.4K ohms at 37 degrees and 5K ohms @ 77 degrees. If the thermistors check ok then you will want to make sure that the unit is defrosting by checking the evaporator coils in the rear of the freezer compartment. If it is approximately every 8 to 12 hours that the unit shuts down then it may be sticking in the defrost cycle in which you would need a new control board. Read More...
Paulo B August 10, 2013 for Model Number GSS22JETA The freezer once in defrost mode takes too long to restart. Most of the frozen items inside thaw out before it re-starts. I replaced the thermostat. Is there anything else I should replace?
1 Answer Paulo, It is possible that you have a faulty defrost sensor. You can check your defrost sensor for resistance. The resistance values should be 42.2K @ 0 degrees, 14.4K @ 37 degrees and 5K @ 77 degrees. If not within range then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If it checks ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
Randy August 05, 2013 for Model Number PDS20MBPBCC Hi, The freezer works great. The fridge is at 68 degrees on the temp indicator. I try to change the temp colder but the numbers pause, then goes back to 68 degrees. The fridge will not allow for me to select a colder temp. Any ideas? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Randy. Check and see if there is a sruck button on the temp board WR55X10340. If so, it will cause the issues you are having with the unit. Read More...
Sgtjoe August 03, 2013 The refrigerator compartment temperature does not agree with the display temperature. If I set the display to 41 the actual temp would be 34 - 37.
1 Answer Hello SgtJoe. It sounds like the senosr may be going bad and need to be replaced in the unit. It should only be about 3% off to be working properly. Read More...
Thomas August 02, 2013 for Model Number ge monogram ziss480d Our refrigerator was not cooling. Our technician replaced the Inverter. It worked for 2 days, then the compressor went dead. Then he replaced the compressor. It worked for 2 days then the compressor became very hot then the refrigerator stopped cooling again. The main board was tested, and J15 is good. There is power into the inverter but no power out to compressor. The compressor coil tested and at 7.1 ohms. Does this mean the compressor is dead? Why did the compressor went hot after it was replaced?
1 Answer Thomas, Because there is power going into the inverter board but nothing coming out, this would be a bad inverter board. You will want to check to make sure that the condenser fan motor is operational. If not then this could cause the compressor to shut down prematurely. It is possible that the original compressor was faulty and caused the inverter to fail. If this is the case and the same compressor ran off the new inverter for 2 days then this could have damage the new inverter causing it to fail again. Read More...
Tony July 24, 2013 for Model Number GSS23QG Why is my refrigerator temperature change by itself 10 to 20 degree all the time?
1 Answer Hello Tony. If the thermistors are good in the unit, you will need to order and replace the main control board WR55X10942C on the unit. Read More...
Derek July 21, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JGBBBB My fridge and freezer gets colder then what I have them both set at. could it be the temperature sensor?
1 Answer Derek, It could be an issue of the thermistor/temp sensors being faulty. You can check the resistance value of the thermistors and see if they fall within range. The resistance values should be at 77 degrees 5K ohms, at 37 degrees 14.4K ohms and at 0 degrees 42.2k ohms. Read More...
