Check the door switch is being closed when the door closes. The door may have dropped just enough to allow the switch not to be activated by the edge of the door.

clean the fins from the condenser they are under the unit

The warranty offered by GE on the FUF17DPHRWH is one year for parts and labor from the date of purchase if the unit fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. If you pay for the GE Service Protection Plus, you will get longer coverage. (However, I've found that for most appliances, you would be better off putting the annual fee for the service in a savings account. Then when the appliance fails, use the money in the savings account to repair or replace the applaince.)

The manual is available here: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60441.pdf . If this direct link doesn't work, start at http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/ and enter the model number. Then click Submit.

I hope this helps.

most refrigirators have an adjustment knob, set your desired tempreture and allow 24 hours for adjustments

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.

If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

One should be the warmest and just before off. When you turn the knob, listen for the sound of the compressor turning off or on. If it comes on when you are turning to the higher numbers then the higher the number the colder the freezer.

Was it very iced up? That can cause bad temperature registration. Also turning it off for an extended period resets the electronics. Monitor it for a week, then order the beef.

Great question but I cannot answer it. GE makes several models of chest freezers and they are not all wired the same. My eyesight is not to good and I cannot see your freezer so I cannot answer your question. You might try our friend google and look for the make and model of your freezer with the prefix schematic.

Gaskets can cause this, along with internal fans getting bad or iced over. Other answers might indicate a leak of freon.

the users manual does not cover this particular issue as to the temperature swing. I have seen some thermostats that are the "constant on" type that you are describing. No way of telling from the vague manual. As long as you are not storing ice cream for a long period of time, 0 degrees is usually fine for most home applications. Sorry I can not give you more info.

Make sure the electricity is connected. Check the start capacitor - check for the compressor running.

Have you tested the wall socket for power, do that first.

They are usually for extra ddehumidification based on the area you live in. If your freezer is working correctly, I would just leave them where they are at
