GE psc25mstass fridge side readout says 75 but my manual thermometer says 25 and freezes my veggies and food. The freezer side stays frozen (no frost) and digital readout says 0.

Reading some posts but none with my issue. I am thinking of changing the thermister (fridge side), others say it's the dampeners. I've vacuumed the dust in the back and I hear compressor working (warm to touch). Please help!

If it’s the arctica model, then yes it’s most likely the damper that controls airflow from freezer to fridge

    could be but why would the digital readout say 75 (hot) but my fridge is freezing the food. could it be also the thermostat (thermister)?

SOURCE: frost in freezer compartment

It is possible to get this build up in the return vents.  Check seals for any possiblilty of warm air getting into the fridge.  Warm air getting in will cause this.  For now use a hair dryer or some hot water to clear the vents.  Let me know what you find.  Would appreciate a solved rating for expert advice.

SOURCE: Ge Profile fridge

Pull the refrig out from the wall , and remove the rear panel . Touch the compressor and feel if its hot or running . If the compressor is cool , then the main control board is bad ( since the compressor isn't running ) . If you can solder , you can repair the board (another paragraph ) . If the compressor is warm , then you could have a thermistor or 2 bad . This would have to be checked by a technician , unless you know how to get into the diagnostics procedure . Also , see if the compressor cooling fan is working and the black squirl cage is clean of dust .

Check the vents in the fridge side and close a little if you can. On the freezer side just for good measure>>>>
Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed
and PLEASE give a Thumbs Up for the effort. The Raz Shack

Our 10 year old samsung rfg298aapn refrigerator freezer started not fully freezing all the time. mainly things like ice cream/popsicles getting soft.

I have never owned a fridge freezer so have no experience to draw on apart from a sketchy knowledge of the principles involved.

I just wanted to mention that food remaining frozen at -2 C or even -6 C doesn't mean the food will remain safe to eat indefinitely, in fact the safe life of food at those temperatures will be about the same as in the freezer compartment of the old fashioned fridge - a matter of a few weeks to a couple of months.

The safe and almost indefinite storage of freezer food requires temperature of -25/-27 C

I suggest you obtain service for your fridge freezer...

My Frigidaire refrigerator quit cooling in the fridge side. Freezer side works OK

Sounds like a defrost problem. Is there frost build up on inside back wall of freezer? If heater is good, the control or the defrost thermostat may be bad. Is fan in freezer and fan at compressor running?

Icemaker overfills and freezes solid so wont dispense. also freezer has frost on everything

Hello,

Most times this is a bad cold control, but there are other things to check for. Make sure the condenser fan is working and the coils are not covered with dust. A separated heat exchanger ( small capillary tubing soldered to the large suction line ) can separate from one another and make the fridge run too long. - tape tubing back together. A poor working evaporator fan motor could also make the fridge run too long and freeze - replace the fan motor. An inefficient compressor or refrigeration system could make the fridge run too long and freeze - have a service tech check this out. A misaligned control settings, make sure the air damper and cold control have not been bumped and are out of normal settings. Stuck open air diffusers or air dampers are becoming more and more common for allowing too much air to be blown into the fresh food section and freezing things. On all frost free fridge's the freezer temp air is blown into the fresh food section, if you have "easy" to freeze items ( eggs, veggies in water, etc ) in front of or under where the freezer temp air comes out, they could freeze - store them in a different spot. Doors not closing properly making the fridge run too long is something else to check for.

I hope this help out....

the cold control and air deflector, As you know, the deflector directs the freezer air toward the front of the frig and the rear of the cold control.

With temperatures like that the water tank is frozen stopping water to dispenser. This could be thermistors in fresh food section going bad or a combination of thermistors and motherboard. I can assist you if you have not already called for a technician. Sea Breeze
