Hi People, I am new to this site and hopefully I can get this resolved with your help!
The fridge is a GE Profile Arctic. The freezer defrosted and everything thawed and was thrown out. My last GE did the same thing after a year and I was able to upgrade to this one. 5 years later, the same problem as the last one.
The freezer fan works intermittently and the temp ranges from below zero to above 32 degrees.
the fridge stays at 38 to 40 degrees, which is a bit warmer than I want, but nothing spoils.
I disconnected the computer to reset it, i shut the fridge off for a while. cleaned the coils, checked all connectors and it was working for a while and now I can hear the fan trying to turn on, but goes on and off quickly.
The last repair on the fridge, the appliance guy changed the thermister and the computer under warranty but I was not happy with what he broke trying to fix it, so I got this one to replace the last one.
SHould I change the computer and both thermisters before calling an appliance person to look at it?
I can buy the parts from this site for about $110.00 and install them myself. the service call and parts will cost me $300.00 +/-.
if anyone has experience with the GE problems, PLEASE advise?!
any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, how do you remove the thermisters without breaking the sensor covers…
THANK YOU
