Hi all,

I have a 4.5 year old GE model GSS25SGRESS.

Yesterday the freezer fan began to run constantly.

I removed the ice bin this morning before coming to work and noticed that there is ice at the back of the freezer.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your thoughts… is this something a layman could replace or should I call a repairman?

I called a repair shop and they said it was probably a fan and when you replace that you have to replace the main control board… all for $395.

Does this sound like it could be the issue? :confused: :confused: :confused:

No, a fan does not cause ice build up running or not running. It’s caused by a lack of defrosting such as a failed heater etc.
