Donna April 12, 2013 for Model Number PFS22SISBSS The freezer temperature is irradict. Goes as high as 24 degrees. Press the colder button & it goes back down. Does not stay down though. Fluctuates couple times a day sometimes. Why?
1 Answer Donna, Check and ensure the refrigerator is level, the freezer door is closing and sealing properly when closed. You also want to check and make sure there are no articles hanging over, or out of the freezer shelves, blocking or disrupting the air flow to the temperture sensor located on the upper right wall of the freezer compartment.

Jose April 10, 2013 for Model Number gsh25vgre ww My GE side by side refrigerator is freezing everything on the fridge side. I have replaced the damper and noticed that the damper door stays open all the time(All the way open, never closes). What do you suggest to be the problem?
1 Answer Jose, You will want to do a resistance check on your thermistor to make sure that it is within range. The ranges should be 62.79K ohms at 0 degrees, 24.48K at 37 degrees and 10K at 77 degrees. If outside of range replace. If within range replace the control board. Read More...
Rick April 08, 2013 for Model Number frigidaire frs268f7802 My refrigerater freezes the refrigerator side when the freezer and fridge are set to the warmest setting.
1 Answer Hello Rick. The model number you provided is not correct. It sounds like the temp control is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Carlos L March 29, 2013 for Model Number GSF25IGXBBB My freezer coils continue to freeze on my GE side by side refrigerator causing the refrigerator temperature to rise. I have replaced the defrost thermostat, the heater and the mother board, but still have the same problem with the coils freezing. Also, before the coils freeze, the temperature fluctuates plus or minus 7 degrees even though it is set for 0 and 37 degrees. What else could be causing the freezer coils to freeze if I have already replaced the three listed parts?
1 Answer Carlos, You would need to replace the defrost thermistor WR55X10025. You may also want to check your freezer thermistor which is the same part number for resistance. It sounds like the thermistors are faulty. Read More...
Joe B March 27, 2013 for Model Number gss201etaww the freezer temperature doesn't respond to setting it warmer and I think this is freezing the water line so that water doesn't dispense at the outside door area. Water isn't frozen at the bottom of the freezer door, it's flowing from the junction splicer. The whole freezer door was replaced and the water still won't flow at the dispenser. Ice does but not water. What part do you think I need for water to flow again?
1 Answer Joe, You will need to install dispenser tube heater part number WR49X10173 which will correct the frozen dispenser tube. Read More...
Luis March 26, 2013 for Model Number psh25mstasv The freezer seems to work just fine, but the fridge will not go below 55 degree. It seems like the when the freezer is running the cooling element in the fridge gets cold, however when the freeezer turns off the fan in the fridge cooling compartment keeps going but seems to stop cooling. In order to get the fridge down to the appropriate range, I have to continually open the freezer door. Shouldn't the fridge be able to draw the coolant into the element without the the freezer running as well?

Jen March 24, 2013 for Model Number HSS25GFPH WW We have both the refrigerator and freezer set to the lowest setting. The freezer is -6 degrees and is freezing the water dispenser. At first the water used to freeze only once in a while. Now it freezes within a few hours of clearing it. What is likely to be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Jen. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the unit needs a dispenser heater kit WR49X10173 installed into the unit. Read More...
Lisa March 05, 2013 for Model Number PTS25LHSARBB Is there a way to test the motherboard? If the Freezer Thermistor and the Fresh Food Thermistor need to be replaced (failed self diagnostics), is it necessary to replace the motherboard at the same time?
1 Answer Lisa, To test the motherboard you would check for resistance and dc voltage for the thermistors. It is not necessary to replace the main board if the thermistors are faulty but if the control board is bad then it would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ray March 01, 2013 for Model Number GE Mod GSS25WSTA SS When the temperature is set for freezer 0° F and fresh food 37°F (recommended settings), the freezer will often go to -6°F. Also, the chilled water dispenser doesn't work. What parts need replacement and instructions for same.
1 Answer Hello Ray, This sounds like the unit may just need the settings adjusted a bit. The freezer should be set one setting warmer and the fresh food side should be set one setting colder. This will increase air circulation and prevent the temperatures from varying so drastically. The water tank is most likely frozen because the bottom of the fresh food compartment will get too clod if the unit doesn't circulate the air sufficiently. Read More...
Paul R. February 18, 2013 Refrigerator model hss25gftabb. Already brought parts from you because it wasn't defrosting. I replaced defrost heater, defrost limiter thermostat. Should I bother with piece 243 temp sensor? Could it be that. thanks
1 Answer Paul, Yes, it could potentially be the sensor. Since you have already replaced the limiter and heater, you could check each of them to see if they were defective by doing a continuity check on them. If they do not have continuity then they were bad. If they do have continuity then replace sensor. Read More...
