My 7 year old GE Profile Side by Side will not remian at the proper temps. Freezer temp is in the 40's and refrig is in the 50's. Doesn't seem to be cooling at all. What could be wrong? Could it be a compressor problem, or something electronic.? Is this an expensive fix?
Self Diagnostics
To enter Self Diagnostic mode, both temperature control panel displays must be illuminated. A display
can be illuminated by pressing an adjacent temperature adjustment button. When both displays are
illuminated, set the freezer and refrigerator temperature settings to 5. Simultaneously press and hold all
4 temperature adjustment buttons for approximately 3 seconds. A flashing 0 in the refrigerator and
freezer displays will indicate that the refrigerator is in Self Diagnostic mode.
For temperature control panels with single-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button
will increment the numbers up and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the
numbers down. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the
freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in
the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test.
Press the HOLD button for 3 seconds to begin the test.
For temperature control panels with 3-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will
increment the numbers down and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the
numbers up. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the
freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test
code. Press any button other than a temperature adjust button to begin the test.
When testing has been completed, do one of the following things:
• Enter code 1 5 to completely reset the system.
• Enter code 1 6 to exit diagnostic mode. GSS manual

I would still check the thermistors and the air flow control and the cold control thermostat
Most of these temp variations are due to a programming error. Have to reset the system. Happened to me a few years ago, refrigerator got too cold, the water system froze up. Had to replace a cracked plastic water line but all the electrical components ok. Just turned the circuit breaker off for a few minutes, pressed the four fridg temp buttons down for a few secs and the system seemed to reset and worked well.
