Freezer is working and the motor runs continually...
Hello Claire Newcombe-Jakeman
and welcome to fixya
Your "FRIG" is not coming up as a USA domestic...
but the principles remain the same
There are several reasons ...
MOST likely is an ice blockage keeping
the air from properly flowing through the
EVAPORATOR section of your FREEZER...
As difficult as this sounds
The first and best thing to attempt is to find a SAFE place for your FOOD for several days (3).
UNPLUG, empty and completely OPEN the unit
and allow it to DEFROST naturally
Do NOT apply any HEAT... ROOM TEMPATURES only!
A portable FAN can speed things along...
(( be prepared for a LOT of WATER )).
Check on your LOCAL internet for part (spares) supply houses.
My favorite here (USA) is
appliancepartspros.com
They have trouble hints an tutorial VIDEO guides.

Fixing a DEFROST failure is not difficult.
only three elements
- Defrost thermostat
- timer or PC control
- heater element
If there is NOT ANY ICE... it is MOST LIKELY
your EVAPORATOR fan.

Hope this helps

This kind of a problem could be caused by;
The system has a leak and is not reaching the shut off temperature of the thermostat.
The compressor is worn out and not pumping gas fast enough to reach shut off temperature.
Dirty condenser not allowing the system to get rid of the heat.

First, I think it’s important to know that the Ref side has no cooling coils, it’s basically a box and the cold air in the freezer is blown over by a fan through a channel into the Ref side. This channel has a door which regulates how much cold air goes through. You probably have two control knobs in the Ref side, one controls the temp with numbers 1-9, 9 being the coldest. This temp control tells the compressor how long to run. The other control is for that little door and it may have letters A-E, E being the coldest. If you set it on E (coldest) then this will close that little door and keep most the cold air in the freezer.
So, how can the Ref side be cold and the freezer side not freezing?
1. Coolant leak. There is enough coolant to keep the Ref side cool but not enough to freeze on the freezer side.
2. Defrost system failure. The coils on the freezer side are clogged with ice and it's just a matter of time when the Ref side won't cool either. The back wall in the freezer will be covered with ice/frost
SOURCE: Freezer is cold, bottom compartment warm
check to see if if the back wall of the freezer is full of ice if so this is an automatic defrost problem
timer ,heater or limit switch
SOURCE: freezer and fridge running too warm
sounds like you might have a bad compressor or the start components for the compressor is bad.
SOURCE: GE refrigerator won't keep cool
check the voltage going into you fan w/ the old main board and also w/ the new board. You might be getting a low voltage w/ your new board or the fan you replaced is for a diferent voltage. Have you tried to put the old fan back w/ the new board??
