The refridge is warm and the freezer is ok. this is a french door and the magniet strip is warm. the saver switch was on off. Why is it not cooling?

You have awater problem not an icemaker problem...inlet valve bad or water source problem....

Sounds like your door seals are not seating causing moisture to migrate past the seal and condense and freeze. Check to see if this is true will small strips of paper. If you place the strip in the door and pull, you should have some resistance. If you pull and it moves freely, your door seal needs to be realigned or replaced

Sounds like airflow fan needs to be replaced. Most fridges use a small fan that blows air from the freezer to the refridge. If that fan fails you get working freezer and non cool fridge.

Hi,
As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Check out this tip 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...

This is typical for frost-free refridgerators/freezers. In order to keep ice from buiding up on the interior walls of the freezer section, the manufacturer installs electric defrosting elements and extra "warming" elements in the outer edges of the cabinet, normally around the door openings to help mitigate any frost/ice build up and surface condensation that typically occurs on the exterior surfaces as the doors are opened and closed frequently.

These edge warmers stay very warm to keep ice and condensation from accumulating and will become VERY very warm (hot) when the fridge/freezer is in the once a day defrost cycle.

Unless you have an energy saver switch (GE trademark) inside the fridge section, which you can turn off, there is no way to disable these added elements. If you find that you're getting ice building up in the freezer, you'll need to turn off the energy saver switch to resolve that issue.

Energy Saver switch "ON" means these elements are off, while having the ES switch "OFF" means those heaters are running all the time and costing you more in energy consumption

check your defrost

if not getting down to temp. it wont make ice.your ref. should be working by now.you need to call where you bought it and they will have some one come out.

Press the Ice Off button and the Freezer button together for thirty seconds. Set your temps at 36 for refrigerator and 0 for freezer.

if that doesn't work, press the freezer button and the energy saver button for thirty seconds and do the same thing.
