MODEL JS42CSDBDA SIDE BY SIDE BUILT IN.
No one turned off your power switch up above the refrigerator, I trust. So, either your power supply or your main PCB is blown. Check the fuse on the main PCB (up on top of your refrigerator in the compressor area). The fuse will be right next to that round, black piezo electric speaker on the main PCB board as shown here:
If that's not it, then check to see if your power supply board is supplying power by measuring the voltage on JP11 of the Main PCB. You should see 26 vdc between pin 3 (GND) and pin 1. And, you should see 12 vdc between pin 3 (GND) and pin 2.
If you don't get those voltages, then you might have a bad Power Supply Board. It looks like this:
Also of note, your 120vac going into the Main PCB board comes in on JP8, pin 1 (WHT) and pin 5 (RED).
I don't know if you will be able to see the larger image of the schematic, or if Fixya will just give you a thumbnail, but I'll try to I HAVE A JENNAIR JS42CSDBDA FRIDGE THAT WENT DEAD - b028f564-3f79-41e6-b61e-1de07345fc54.pngc="/uploads/images/b028f564-3f79-41e6-b61e-1de07345fc54.png" alt="b028f564-3f79-41e6-b61e-1de07345fc54.png" class="h_mi" />
Well, good luck and let me know if you need any more assistance.
SOURCE: Refrigerator trips GFI outlet
unlikely to be the defrost timer. more likely to be the defrost element. try disconnecting the element and see if it trips then. could be of course a wiring fault - frayed wires etc

Control board has gone bad....
What happens is the defrost is controlled electronically from a circuit board, when this goes bad, the freezer quits defrosting, and freezes the fans that circulate air through the fridge side of things.
To check this, unplug the entire fridge, leave the freezer open, wait for it to defrost a bit, if this causes the fridge to start cooling again when you plug it back in, then its the defrost. You should also see ice crystals on the back of the freezer just under the icemaker.

Read reviews on this product by doing a Google search. You may find that this is a recurring problem with this model then decide what you want to do.
SOURCE: Fridge stopped working, freezer still works
Light going out is a separate problem. If the freezer is still working and the fan in the freezer operating check for frost on the back wall. If there is frost on the back wall you have a defrost system problem.
Possible open heater, bad timer, or defrost thermostat. If the freezer is not working check for power to it. Reset the breaker if necessary.
If the light went out because of some power loss the freezer would not be working.

Hi Richard,
The most likely cause of your problem is a loose wire in the plug connecting your fridge to the power socket - check the terminal screws that secure the wires into the plug, and of course check or replace the fuse with a known "good" one.
Also plug some other appliance in the socket that your fridge is normally connected to, just to make sure there is power at the socket itself.
I have never known fridges to have internal fuses, but there's always a first time :-)
Hope this helps - if not come back with a comment so I can try to help you further.
Cheers, D.
