1 Answer

16 month old GE Profile refrigerator with bottom freezer can no longer maintain freezer temp. With control set at zero degrees, freezer temp varies from twenty down to six degrees. Both sides of cabinet around freezer door are quite warm although the ambient temperature is neither hot nor especially humid. This refrigerator has functioned perfectly up until the past week. 2007 model PDF22MIS Bottom Freezer French Door Refrigerator. Both sides of freezer compartment on the outside of the box are very warm, ice maker dispenses ice which partically melts and refreezes into one large lump of ice. Even though freezer temperature is set at 0 degrees temperature swings from 27 to 9 degrees. Please advise.

GE bottom freezer PF22missaww i came home from vacation and it was at 60 degrees , unplugged it for 10 minutes and plugged it back in , ran fine for a month , came home from work and the unit is warm again...
GE Profile bottom freezer erratic.

GE Profile Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with Electronic controls with digital temperature readout (Should include Models PDS20MFS, PDS20SFS, PDS22MFS, PDS22SFS, PDS22MFS) May also apply to other models.

Diagnosis: Search of Internet yielded no definitive fix. It appeared to me that the some minor frost buildup might be symptomatic of unseen frost elsewhere. The electronic controls could possibly be messed up.

Fix: Not knowing whether it was frost or the electronic controls (or both), did the following:

1. Turned off the refrigerator. (It is not clear how to do that. Download the owner's manual for your model from the Internet. If it is like mine, the freezer and refrigerator APPEAR to have separate controls. In fact they are linked. To turn both freezer and refrigerator off, press the WARMER button on EITHER the refrigerator OR freezer until the display shows OFF for both the freezer and refrigerator.)

2. Unplugged the unit. Let it set for 18 hours with both doors open.

3. Plugged it in (which may have reset the electronic controls.)

4. Turned it on. To do so, I followed the instructions that said to press the COLDER button on either the refrigerator or freezer. Press the same COLDER button a second time and it should go to the factory presets of 0 degrees for the freezer and 37 degrees for the refrigerator.

5. Allowed the temperatures to stabilize for a week, after which temperature adjustments can be made.

Variance in freezer compartment temperature
How to check everything
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php
If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

check defrost heater, defrost thermostat. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control board.

Fridge temp at 48 degrees even though I have it set for 34 degrees. Sounds like fan struggling. Happened 3 months ago but was fine until now. Is this compressor issue or motherboard? Thanks for your help...
The fan surge is caused by the motherboard & will require replacement.

Sub-Zero temperture fluctuation
Just posted this elsewhere and it sounds like the same problem:
As you probably know, the recommended temperature range is between 35-45 F so if your control will not allow you to set this, the sensor or associated regulator has failed. 

 This seems to be an issue with Sub-Zero.

Greetings bkbkbt,

Many times this behavior is an early indicator that your unit either needs freon or might have a compressor issue. I would advise contacting a repair person before this problem gets worse.

Thank you,
