SHOWED VIDEO OF REPAIR OF WRONG MODEL REFRIGERATOR
PartSelect video showing how to make repair was for different model refrigerator. Repair was much more difficult than video showed. Assembly could not be removed from refrigerator and had to be disassembled inside enclosure for condenser and compressor. A tedious process. Part was perfect fit. Suggestion: If you don't have video for model that customer has, don't show another model. Wrong model shown caused me to waste a lot of time trying your method.

Small motor big sound
My PSS26LSRCSS, refrigerador purchased in 2004, for the last year or so has been making high pitch humming sound. After having a man in the business check it out. Said its ok not recommended to change motor. After listening to this sound I decided to replace motor. Ordered from PartSelect a new motor, watched the video removed old motor cleaned everything, reinstalled new motor. No Sound!! Easy DIY! cools better everything seems to work great.

Warm freezer and no ice
This story starts with a GE side-by-side refrigerator that has always had wide temperature swings and a temperamental water dispenser. The ice maker was not making ice, and the built in digital thermometer showed it was running warm. I suspected that the heat exchanger was full of dust and so looked there. What I found was that the con
... Read moredenser tank was hot to the touch and the fan wasn’t running. As an experiment, I aimed a fan at the it for a while I saw that the freezer temperature dropped back to normal. .The fan is marked as 11.2 DC so I checked for voltage at the fan and found some. With three wires and no wiring diagram I wasn’t sure this answered all the questions, but hooking the fan to a 12 volt power supply didn’t get it to spin. I priced parts at a couple websites before using partselect.com . They also have a good diagram to look at (Sears diagrams are really poor). I ordered the part with 2-day shipping; it arrived on time, was correct and fixed the problem.

1. Ice is forming in the freezer back wall. Now, it makes a loud knocking sound, ice builds up on freezer's back wall. The refrig stays above 50 degrees but now the freezer works (the last two days). The first thing that went was the icemaker then some parts of the refrig would freeze food. I don't really care about the ice maker and the water dispenser because i am now in a place without the hook-up. I had used a hair dryer and it used to help but not anymore.
For model number PFSS5NJWASS
Hello Sally, thank you for your question. The ice buildup on the back of the freezer wall is due to the evaporator coils that are behind that back wall, not defrosting. I would recommend replacing the HEATER DEF ASM PartSelect Number: PS2323339, the Defrost Thermostat PartSelect Number: PS1155318, Temperature Sensor PartSelect Number: PS304103 and the Evaporator Fan Motor
PartSelect Number: PS1019114 (if the motor is no longer blowing air into the fridge section from the back wall of the freezer). I hope this information helps!

It's a french door fridge.The freezer is working fine.But the fridge stop working on the upper section.Is it the condenser fan that need to be change?
For model number Pfss5rkzass
Hello Milton, Thank you for your inquiry. The condenser fan is down by the compressor and is designed to cool the compressor and condenser coils. The evaporator fan motor is located in the back of the freezer, and circulates air over the refrigerator coils. These coils will convert the heat into cool air, which is then circulated. I would test both the evaporator fan and the damper assembly as that is what controls the flow of cold air from the freezer to the fridge section. Hope this helps!

Hi. In regards to my refrigerator. The freezer and refrigerator are both warm. The unit seems to be running but is very faint. Please advise on possible part. Thank you!
For model number PSCS3TGXAFSS
Hi Gabe,
Thank you for the question, if the appliance is still running and the fans still kick on and off I suggest checking the Electronic Board,PartSelect Number PS12069099.This board controls the operation of the unit and is the most likely the defective part.
Hope this helps!

Hi, It is about a GE side by side fridge. The fridge is not cooling well, the foods in the freezer is melting and the compressor is very very hot. When I put an external fan behind the fridge, the fridge was working well. The condenser fan is rotating but very slowly. Is this due to faulty condenser fan motor or the main board? What is the part number for the fan motor and the main board for this fridge model?
Thank you.
For model number GSG25MISAFWW
Hello Ahmed, Thank you for the question. This is normally caused by a defective DC Condenser Fan Motor. The Fan keeps the compressor cool so it is not over working and causing it to heat up and effect the temperature in the appliance. We suggest replacing the Fan Motor. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, the freezer section is not getting cold enough, the condenser fan turns very slow. It only gets 4.5 volt from the main control board. After we made the diagnostic test on the panel the freezer display pads is showing -18c but the temperature in the freezer is just +22c.Do you know what is the possible reason why it is like that? Could it be that there something happened when we did the diagnostic test? I hope to hear something from you soon.
For model number PSG29NHMHCBB
Hi Jan, Thank you for the question. If the fan is turning slow and it is not getting enough volts, I suggest replacing the control board. The board can also be causing the temperature display issues. Hope this helps!

My condenser coils continue to freeze up after several weeks of runtime. I can tell when the fresh food sides starts getting warm that the coils are freezing up and temperatures continue to rise. I have replaced all 3 temp sensors, the defrost thermostat and the defrost heater lamp but the problem continues. I have noticed that when the fan starts running that it is barely spinning and then ramps up speed after several minutes. Is this normal or could it be a problem that is causing the ice buildup?
For model number gsl25jfpa bs
Hello Mark and thanks for writing.
That might be your problem right there, it should not take several minutes for this fan to run at full speed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
For your convenience, we have attached the link to your manual with repair instruction. We hope this helps. Good luck with your repair

There is clicking sound coming from back of condenser fan it try’s to turn but will not i was wanting to know what part i need and volt i need thanks for ur time
For model number Gsh25igrbww
Hello Virgil, thank you for your question. If the clicking is coming from the condenser fan it should be replaced. However, that clicking is usually caused by a bad capacitor on the compressor. If the compressor isn't running, and the condenser fan isn't moving either, we would recommend testing the OVERLOAD Part #: PS310326, and RELAY START Part #: PS963837. If the compressor is running, but the condenser fan isn't moving when its on, the condenser fan should be replaced which is PartSelect Number: PS1483567. I hope this helps.

hi the fridge has gone warm, I've noticed the freezer section is still cold(after 3 days) but the cold air is not being circulated to the top section. the compressor is still running and the fan.... if I shut it off for a while then restart it, it will blow cold air to the fridge section but stops shortly after.
thank you
For model number PFRS5NBXBSS
Hello Lysanne, thank you for your inquiry. Based on the description that you have provided, the issue is most probably with the air tower assembly, part number PS2323185. It channels and controls the cold airflow from the freezer compartment into the refrigerator compartment. You may need to replace it to solve the problem. We hope this helps!
Hello Roland, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the following parts. Temperature Sensor Part Number: WR55X10025, Defrost Thermostat Part Number: WR50X10068, Defrost Heater and Bracket Assembly Part Number: WR51X10055. If those parts are ok, the issue could be with the compressor switches and the condenser fan motor. I hope this helps.
