Hi Lee, you must remove the back panel of the freezer to access the drain.it has 4 screws holding it in place. Good luck

Check if power is coming to the socket, if yes check plug fuse, if ok check if reset button on circuit board has tripped, try after resetting

If your refrigerator is a few years old it may have an electromechanical timer to control the defrost cycle. With age and/or lots of dust the timer motor can wear out or the switch contacts can get stuck. Behind the grill below the door there should be a small black box with several wires coming out of it. On the front of the box there is a small (dime sized) round disk with a slot in it. This is the defrost timer, a 24-hour clock mechanism which switches the cooling unit off and the defrost heaters on for 15 or 20 minutes every 24 hours (approximately). Insert a small insulated screwdriver into the slot and turn it slowly clockwise until you hear a click. The compressor and fan(s) should turn on (if they aren't running already) and the defrost heaters should turn off. If you continue turning the timer disk you should hear another click and the compressor & fans will shut off and the heaters turn on. Stop turning the disk at this point. Wait a couple of minutes and then turn the disk a few degrees farther (5 degrees represents about 20 minutes). You should hear a click and the compressor starting up again. If there is no change and the heaters still seem to be on, then you may need to replace the timer (it should unplug from the wiring harness). A Home Appliance Parts store should be able to provide you with a compatible replacement timer.

the damper door assy located in the upper left corner just left of the water filter of the refrigerator compartment probably has a broken damper door shaft on one side and has jammed in this position,this is very common with G.E. SxS I have glued these shafts back together with good success,but you may want to just replace it

Hi, answer a little bit long,will give you a link to for the problem.i bet you problem will be sovled.

(applianceaid.com/refrigerator.html).


Take care.

either u bar to shut off is bad, or the flap detectin ice level is in wrong position,..try this, in freazer turn of ice maker, count to 10while dong that move bottom hoizontal armrm back and forth 3 times, turn back on wiat 6 min, c if cycle statrs then

Check to see if evap fan is running. you can hear it if it is when you open the door of the freezer. Also check and see if there is a lot of frost on the back wall of the lower section of the freezer. If fan is running you have defrost problem. If not running it is a board problem. part # wr55x10942. If you have frost then it will more than likely be the defrost heaters which both are easy to do if you take your time.

Check the fan that pushes/pulls the air from the freezer to the refrigerator, if it is not working it will cause this type of problem. Good Luck, I hope this helped Please rate me, Thanks
