My Ge French Door Refrigerator Is Not Cooling

A real quick snapshot of how everything works is that based on thermistor measurements the motherboard sends a control voltage to the inverter board.

My ge french door refrigerator is not cooling.

To check on most models close the door slowly. Ge refrigerators that don t cool properly will allow food to spoil. If you don t hear the compressor running after the door has been left open for a while it could mean the condenser fan is stuck or worn out or that the relay or compressor is bad. If the light stays on your refrigerator will not cool properly.

Normally the refrigerator condenser fan and compressor located near the floor on the back of most refrigerators come on when the thermostat calls for more cooling. Problems with a ge refrigerator not cooling can be troubleshot with a series of steps. If you have a ge french door refrigerator with bottom freezer that is not cooling it is likely the evaporator fan that needs to be replaced. The light should go out when the door opening is reduced to approximately 1 inch.

If the light stays on it may produce heat that affects your refrigerator temperature. If the refrigerator door is misaligned the light will stay on. If your ge refrigerator is not cooling consistently but everything else seems to work such as the the lights inside are on then it may very well be an issue with the main controller board problem. To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand.

Refrigerator is barely cool usually 50 degrees there may be some condensation in the bottom of the fridge behind the deli drawer. If this occurs the freezer may still get cold while the refrigerator will not get cold. To reset the temperature on your ge fridge tap on the fridge or freezer pad on the temperature display depending on which one you want to adjust and reset to fit your preference. The controller board is essentially the brains of the refrigerator so it can cause a number of issues if it is defective.

Freezer is working fine ice cold. If the fan blade does not turn freely replace the fan motor. If the evaporator fan is not working it will not circulate the cold air to the refrigerator compartment.
