You more the likely have a bad evaporator fan motor based on what’s happening. I work on these for a living, so if you got a model and serial number I can steer you to a diagnostic and a fix.
Not necessarily. If it’s a dual Evap model, the Evap fan not running will cause the issue.
Some of those GEs are made by Samsung and share the same parts.
Not that I’m aware of but I’m fixing to go look.
Fixing to do this to.
Didn’t know this! Good info.
Model GFE28HSHFSS
With your doors open, you should’ve able to press and hold the door switch(s) and wait and see if you hear the Evap fan come on. If it doesn’t come on, usually within the first 10-15 seconds, that’s the problem.
You got a manual for this thing? Cause I have no idea how I get access to this but the deal at the very top of fridge is certainly not blowing. Just moved everything to downstairs fridge.
Give it some time. I usually tell my customers 24 hours for it to get back to temp. You don’t want to push the system to hard and something else gives. Always set your temps a little higher, say around 42ish degrees, and let it hit that, then set it back to 37 for your fresh food section (37 degrees and 0 degrees are the factory spec’d temps).
Well and that’s the thing. Seemed to be running fine when I just put the fan in, but the video showed and update module plugged in via Ethernet and once parts guy got the right parts he confirmed that GE says you need this updated software module with the new fan.
Now I didn’t do that!Didn't read all the post so sorry if it's been mentioned already. You need to get all the ice off the condenser coils in the freezer. Pull the bottom freezer open and start chipping.
It's a condensation issue with these fridges.
I have an idea but I’m gonna bounce it off another one of my guys. I’ll PM you.
I just dropped him a PM. My next thought would be a blockage in the return and/or supply air vents, followed by testing the temp sensors for continuity. I don’t think he has a sealed system issue since his freezer is staying cold. Those GEs are pretty straight forward, and pretty easy to fix.
Well at least there is some positive to it lol. I appreciate the help guys but I decided to call in the pros. Some other repair place said they could be out tomorrow so we went with them. Will cancel GE guy.
Can't you call the guy say cancel get a refund for the difference and still diy?
Sort of. Once my wife paid with cc the parts were ordered. They have a restocking fee for parts they don’t even have. So I would have to pay them to cancel the order basically which is BS. Might as well leave it alone at this point.
