If your Freezer is cold, but the Refrigerator is too warm, the problem 9 out of 10 times is the defrost heater at the bottom of the freezer coils. It's easy to spot if it's bad, it should be clear, and if the tube is darkened, it's almost always bad. They run under $20, including both the defrost sensor and the temperature sensor.
Defrost the freezer, it's probably frozen solid, and then there are only 2 screws to remove, to replace the old sensor with a new one. Save the old heater and check it out. We have had our GE unit for around 15 years, and it's gone through 3 ice makers, 2 logic boards, 6 defrost heaters, and more. Last time we buy GE.
What we do, is at the first hint of trouble, we order a new heater w/sensors, and have it on hand. As soon at the temp starts to go wacky, we defrost, pop in a new heater, and all is good for a year to 18 months. We can swap the heater in under 10 minutes, The only thing that takes time is defrosting, and unloading and loading the freezer.
I believe you can use a voltmeter to test the resistance of the sensors, and can tell if they are good or not. It's interesting how many problems are related to the heaters. Our first three replacements were GE branded parts. They didn't last any longer then Chinese knockoffs, but YMMV. I just finished yet another repair, and hoping the temp goes down properly. Last time I replaced the defroster sensor, and this time the upper Temp sensor. Next time, I'll replace the lower one if needed. I should add, that I have some background in sensor implementation, and sometimes a sensor will test as fine, but not be fine under working conditions, in this case 0 degrees F. So, I just replace them while replacing other parts. Good Luck!
My refrigerator fruit and vegetables department freeze all my fruits what that could be ? I lowered the temp but still same problem.
@@MCLIFE786 have you changed out the heater? And, you must let the unit defrost entirely. We found that out, after replacing the sensors and heater, things were still freezing. But once we defrosted, and opened up frozen passages, all worked fine. So, try that.
@@harrisfogel1697 i did change the heater a year ago since then heater is working fine but after a year now my refrigerator is too cold i did open the coils cover to make sure if any ice build up but nope coils were all solid without any ice buildup.
@@MCLIFE786 yes, but did you do a full defrost? For example, my coils were clean, but the system still froze things. once I thawed it out, it worked fine. Same heater, same sensors, the difference was the thaw. There are passages for air that freeze up. So, the coils aren't the full story. You need to do a full defrost. We found we could keep things cold in the refrigerator section with the door closed, with only the freezer door open for the defrost. Most of the stuff in the refrigerator section, kept pretty cold. We put the freezer stuff in insulated bags.
@@harrisfogel1697 how do u fully defrost it
Also do you know about the starter relay switch I have a 3 in 1 in it now will that work long term??
thank you very much brother. already did it.
Thanks a lot guys
Which crimpers do u use in video ? Thanks
Can you help me with adjusting the temperature on an Antares Edina vending refrigerator? I believe it is a Frigidaire brand??
My GE refrigerator with model number GSD25QGTB has some issues. The freezer side works alright but the fridge side warm so I decided to change the damper control. Having replace the damper, I realized the fridge side is freezing freezing my drinks and vegetables. Do you think this could be a problem from the temperature sensor?
What is the value of the resistance Ohms on the thermistor ?
What is the use of the freezer "lower" temperature sensor...not the one you discuss fir the Evaporator and is it possible to check this sensor via the motherboard?
NEITHER THE FRIDGE NOR THE FREEZER IS COOLING - DO I NEED TO REPLACE MORE THAN JUST THE SENSOR IN THE FREEZER?
Great video thanks. I have a GE PSC25PSTASS but can't find where the sensor is located. Freezer working fine but fridge freezing food. Please advise.
Sure! Here's an exploded diagram of your model: www.appliancepartspros.com/parts-for-ge-psc25pstass.html
This should show you where all the parts are located.
I have a ge dshs9ngybcss, both compartments running on the hotter side. Run the test mode for the thermistor P-1, P-2, P3, P-4, 0-5. I understand thermistor 5 is bad but, which one is it? Where is located?
Both freezer and fridge only cold at the bottom and warm at the top, as well as freezes the food in the bottom of the refrigerator bins. I have a GE GSS25JFPHBB . I noticed on the control board, that one of the large capacitors is bulging and the evaporator resister was burnt. Can I replace the evaporator resister or do I need a new control board? What temp sensor should I replace. Can someone please help.
Hello, We have a GE GSS25JFPD CC refrig. How do you know which one of the senors to replace? The refrig. side is warm and the freezer side is cold. The freezer is beginning to ice up due to the refrig being warm.
You can test the sensors with a meter. Could also be a defrost problem. I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
Hello, When connecting the new Temp Sensor, is there a Positive & Neutral Side?
No
Hi John. are all the 3 temp sensors in same fredg have the same resistance value. thanks
If they are listed all as the same part number then they are the same. If they list multiple part numbers then you would have to make sure you order the correct one.
How do you know which one to replace? My fresh food side is way to cold no matter what setting. I don't see a sensor in mine like there is in the video on the fresh food side
+Sarah Carson It could be a few things, so without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
Thank you for your presentation. I have a question. If I want to keep the temperature between 55-68 degrees, can I use GE Temperature Sensor?
On PSS26MGPABB Models the sensor is located in the Refrigerator side. Not the Freezer. Takes only 5 minutes to change.
Thanks for that tip.
We have a GE Bottom Freezer model GFE24JMFFES the frig is freezing food. We can't locate where this part GE Temperature Sensor WR55X10025 goes, we have torn the whole refrigerator apart to try and locate it. Any help would be wonderful.
Check on top the refrigerator.. there should be a removable compartment and a sensor should be inside (that's for the defrost system) ..
There should be another sensor behind the interior plastic liner that needs to come out in order for you to gain access to the fridge sensor...
There's another sensor attached to the evaporator coils inside the freezer compartment..
i have to replace the 3 temperature censors or just the one from the evaporator system??
Omar Mendez You only need to replace the ones that have failed.
@@appliancepartspros How do you know which ones have failed? My freezer was freezing over so I assumed it was the evaporator sensor and I replaced it I am hoping it will work.
So I opened the inside cover to the freezer to expose the coils just as you did. The coils were all iced up. So after the coils thawed I noticed the temperature sensor wasn't even clipped onto the coil. I wonder if the ice build up pushed it off or if it simply fell off during a move. The reason I say fell off is because the clip that holds the sensor does not clip onto the coil. Its a very lose fit. I bent the clip a little and that did not help. So I wedged a tiny piece of card board against the foiled back plate so the sensor wouldn't touch the back wall. The censor is now on the coil. I will see what happens over the next few weeks. The freezer back wall was frosting up every two weeks. This is my 2nd time defrosting the freezer in a 1 month period.. I did not notice the sensor hanging off the coil the last time I defrosted my GE Profile Artica fridge freezer. So I hope this fixes the issue.
My thermostat doesn't appear to be bulging. So I don't believe frost has got down inside of the housing of the thermostat. In fact it looks pretty new. I can tell the freezer wall was taken apart before due to the missing paint on the screws. I bought this fridge freezer off someone 1.5 yrs ago.
I really need to learn how my multi meter works so I can test the defroster heater, thermostat, and the temp sensor.
Or I just go with plan B and replace all three parts and be done with it, hopefully!!
Anyone have any helpful hints or tips with my issue, I sure would love some more knowledge with trouble shooting these items and more!
Sounds like you have a defrost system issue. Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
thank you!
Please do a troubleshooting video on freezer ice buildup in a GE french door fridge with bottom freezer. Thanks!
PDS22SFSBRSS is my French door fridge im having problem with
Didn't show or say ow to replace sensor in refrigerator section. Do I also cut those wires?
What is the model number of your refrigerator?
I have a lower freezer and French door upper!!! Different sensors, just want to be sure
If you'd like us to confirm what part you'll need for your particular unit, we'd be glad to check it by your model number. You can look here on our website to help you find the model number: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
why need to replace temp sencor
ty tcheu The sensor tells the control board the temperature. If the sensor is bad and sending the wrong temperature, it would have to be changed.
It is freezing the sodas!
If you are going to use butt connectors at least use heatshrinking ones.
Don't tell us how to change the part teaches how to troubleshoot the defective one so we can learn
