GE FRIDGE: GSH25JGBBBB https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/p… Came back from a 10 day vacation and noticed the Freezer temp was in the 20’s/fridge 50’s (should be 0F and 37F). Before I left for vacation I turned off the water to the house and put the AC on 75, could doing either of these caused this or just a coincidence? I ask because I’m going out of town again in a two weeks.
I’m guessing this is the issue? The evaporator is totally frozen solid.
Any help on what I should try first to fix this? I read it could be the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost control. Should I buy all 3 or rule them out 1 by 1? Or just hire someone? Honestly don’t want to deal with this if it will only cost a couple hundred bucks to fix. Update (07/17/2021) Here’s my Defrost Heater Assembly :
I wouldn’t jump to the controller just yet. Is an expensive part. I would check the others first. You’ll have to get in there, and find your defrost heater. Disconnect both sides of if, and check continuity across it. If that is there, everything i have found on this model says it will most likely be the temp sensor. Now, it COULD be that your evap fan has stopped working. You’ll want to double check and makemsure the fan runs. As for turning the water off and.setting the ac to 75, no. That had nothing to do with this and is just a coincidence. Those two things will not affect the operation of the fridge. Unless you set the temp much higher. But you didn’t so you should be fine.
