Joe C. July 13, 2018 for Model Number GSL25JFXNLB Freezer warms up to 40°F during defrost cycle (I assume). Ice cubes begin to melt and then freeze together upon recovery. I have replaced the freezer temperature sensor and defrost timer and still have a problem. The refrigerator side works fine. No frost but a little warmer during freezer defrost cycle. What do I do now?
1 Answer Hello Joe, You will need to check the normal operating temperature in the freezer is from 0°F to 10°F. The job of the defrost thermostat is to open the heating circuit when the evaporator compartment reaches about 50°F. It is normal for the freezer temperature to warm up some, but it should not come above freezing. If it is, the defrost thermostat, (even if it is new), is still in question. Read More...
John June 04, 2018 will part number wr50x10068 replace part number wr50x10065? GE Refrigerator model no. GSH25JFTC BB Thank you.

Vince February 25, 2018 for Model Number GSL25JFTABS My freezer will randomly, at any given time, thaw to the point where ice melts, water drips in freezer and re-freezes. All this happens within a 2 hour time frame. Started about 4 months ago. We had the main control board changed and new evaporator just put in. Still does the same thing. Any ideas as what else it could be?
1 Answer Vince, You will need to test the temp sensor that is on the evaporator coils. The sensor at room temp should read 5K ohms of resistance. This will be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Bob August 14, 2017 for Model Number PFCS1PJXBSS Refrigerator does not work.fan is runing but compressed is not.could it be the defrost thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Bob. No, the defrost thermostat would not prevent the compressor from running. Here is a link to our Repair Forum, this is a free service to our customers.

Milan September 26, 2016 for Model Number PFSS5RKZASS How do you replace the defrost thermostat on a GE refrigerator model PFSS5RKASS. I receiveied the part but having problem in replacing the old part.
1 Answer Hello Mila. Once you remove the back wall and access the part, you will cut the wires going to the thermostat. Then remove the old thermostat from the evaporator assembly. Clip the new thermostat in the same place the old one was at and strip the wires so you can splice the new thermostat into the wiring harness. Read More...
Milan September 26, 2016 for Model Number PFSS5RKZASS How do you replace the defrost thermostat in the GE refrigerator model PFSS5RFZRKZASS?
1 Answer Hello Milan, Remove the evaporator cover to access the over-temperature thermostat. The thermostat is clipped onto the suction line.Note: When replacing the over-temperature thermostat, splice a new thermostat into the wiring using connectors and procedures approved for damp/wet conditions.

Djh854 January 29, 2016 for Model Number GSH25JGCBCC My evaporator fan won't shut off and constantly runs. Any help?
1 Answer Hello djh854. Make sure the condenser coils are clean. If So, then make sure the temp in the unit is correct. As long as the compressor is running, then the evaporator fan should be running on the unit. Read More...
Kevin December 10, 2015 for Model Number GSL25JFXLLB My problem is the freezer warms up enough for the food to start to thaw,then it will cool down and refreeze the food.Could this be an issue with the defrost timer?Or does the mother board need to be changed out?The fridge side stays cold during this. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the main board WR55X10968 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Dave December 07, 2015 for Model Number G. E. Refrigerator GSH25JSXB Refrigerator slowly lost coldness and ice melted coming out ice?water door. Replaced compressor relay/overload and plugged back in. Worked fine up until next day. Checked defrost heater which was all discolored and foggy looking. Cooled down fine except went way below freezing. Replaced defrost heater and plugged back in. Did same thing- ran good for a day, then got warmerand warmer. Took door off and plugged back in -defrost heater came on with warm evaporator (no ice-room temp) and glowed bright for about 3 minutes, then everything shut off. unplugged and waited about an hour and plugged back in. Nothing runs. Lights in frig work ,but no compressor or fans. Is there a fuse link somewhere? Did I burn out the board or something? Should I replace board, thermistors and defrost sensor? Please help.
1 Answer Dave, With nothing working but the lights on the unit, this will most likely be caused by a faulty main control board on the unit. Read More...
Matt December 02, 2015 for Model Number PSS27SGNABS My GE side by side fridge is failing to defrost, it had the same problem a couple months ago and was remedied by replacing the heating element. The problem has returned and this time its not the coil, jumping the defrost and line pins kicks the heater on. While testing the thermistors (WR55X10025) for resistance at the harness that connects to the board, the 4-5 circuit was reading open while the others were within spec. Suspecting the evaporator thermistor and figuring I would have to replace it anyway I decided to cut the thermistor out and test it directly before I ordered the replacement, I thought the open circuit seemed like an odd result for a failed thermistor. When I checked resistance across the thermistor (fresh out of my iced up freezer and still cold) it was in spec. Is there a connection somewhere between the thermistor and the board I can check? I'm positive it wasn't a connection issue with my meter or the harness, the other thermistors gave readings and I tried several times to get something from the one causing trouble, I also visually inspected the harnesses and wires, everything checked out. Thanks for your help, Matt
1 Answer Hello Matt. No, the connection is at the control board. If the thermistor tested good, then it sounds like the board has failed. Read More...
