Cheryl May 11, 2013 for Model Number PSC23MGSAWW Fridge section cools fine. Freezer not freezing very well even though turned up to max of 9. Top shelf at about 20 degrees, bottom basket at 11-15 degrees, but did reach 6 degrees after being away from home for a month. Refer used to "moan". That has stopped. Fan down at bottom in back goes off when either door opened; otherwise it runs all the time. Water seems to be frozen in ice cube tray, but cubes not being dispensed (ice maker is turned on). A little bit of frost accumulation on back interior freezer panel.
1 Answer Cheryl, You will want to pull the rear cover of the freezer compartment to check the frost pattern of the evaporator coils. The evaporator coils should have a full even pattern of frost on them. If not then you will want to check the condenser coils to ensure that they are clean and check to make sure that the condenser fan motor is operating. If the fan is not running you will want to check to make sure that it is getting power. If it is then replace the fan. IF coils are dirty they will need to be cleaned. Read More...
Grandnational10 May 07, 2013 for Model Number PSS29NGPA WW My ref. turns off or goes into a defrost mode and does not come out. I can turn it off and turn it back and it begins to cool like it is suppose to. It has turned off 2 times and has restarted both times. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello grandnational10. Based on the information you provided, if the unit is sticking in defrost, you will need to replace the main control board in the unit. Read More...
Areadm10 May 06, 2013 for Model Number gsh22jfte Refrigerator lights are on in the inside, but it is not cooling. No fans are running, front control panel will not light up, and I don't here the compressor running. Do I need to replace it, or can it be repaired.
1 Answer Hello areadm10. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the main control board is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jeff May 01, 2013 for Model Number psc23sgmd bs Fridge temp keeps going colder and colder untill it starts to freeze stuff. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. You will need to check and see if the temp sensor is bad in the unit. You will want to do a resistance check on the thermistors in your unit. The thermistors should read a resistance of 62K ohms at 0 degrees, 24.48K ohms at 37 degrees and 10K ohms at 77 degrees.... more If outside of range then replace the thermistors. 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...
Lisa April 29, 2013 for Model Number PFSS5NFWA SS How much should the temps fluctuate. Since 11/2012 I have replaced the mother board , fan freezer, and electrical damper. This morning the there was no display on the LCD and then it came on. Food is freezing. What else could the problem be?
1 Answer Lisa, You will want to check your thermistors for proper resistance. The resistance values of the thermistor should be at 0 degrees 42.5K ohms, at 37 degrees 14K ohms and at 77 degrees 5Kohms. If outside this range then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If they check ok then the temp control board would be bad. Read More...
Frank B April 20, 2013 for Model Number PSS25NGMDCC How do you replace the temperature sensor, the wires looks like go to the back on the fridge
1 Answer Frank, To replace the temp sensor, you will need to cut the end off of the old sensor and remove the insulation from the ends of the 2 wires. You would trim the insulation from the wires on the new sensor and connect the old wiring to the new wiring either using appropriate butt connectors or bell connectors. Read More...
Meggann April 20, 2013 for Model Number GE: GSH25JSTSS My GE refrigerator Model GSH25JSTSS side by side: The back of the freezer has built up ice the food is cold but not frozen, the fridge is warm. I have replaced the defrost thermostat it worked for about a week and same problem accrued.
1 Answer Hello Meggann, On the GE style defrost circuit, the most common failure is the defrost heater WR51X10055. Read More...
Gary April 19, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JFta bb My ice maker is working fine but the water dispenser line is freezing up in the door. The temp setting on the freezer is on 2(fridge 5),yet the actual temp is well below zero. What would likely be the cause?
1 Answer Gary, The most likely cause of failure would be a bad thermistor or control board. You will want to do a resistance check on the thermistors in the freezer to make sure that they are good. The resistance values should be as follows: @ 0°F (-18°C) 42.5k ohms @ 37°F (3°C) 14.0k ohms @ 77°F (25°C) 4.92k ohms If outside this range then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If within range then the control board would be issue. Read More...
Walt April 12, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JSTASS The water dispenser line keeps freezing. The freezer temp control is set at the warmest setting and it is well below -10 degrees. Refrig is now starting to run cold as well.
1 Answer Walt, You will want to do a resistance check on the thermistors in your unit. The thermistors should read a resistance of 62K ohms at 0 degrees, 24.48K ohms at 37 degrees and 10K ohms at 77 degrees. If outside of range then replace the thermistors.

Walt S April 12, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JSTASS Water dispenser line freezes. I have turned down the freezer control to the lowest setting but it still freezes. Even with the freezer on the lowest setting the food in the freezer remains frozen solid. Everything else is working fine.
1 Answer Walt, To correct the water fill tube freezing in the door you will need to install the dispenser tube heater WR49X10173. Read More...
