I have a GE side by side refrigerator Model GSS201EPHCC. I came home today and Freezer is working fine, but Refrigerator side is hot, 70 degrees. There is ice on the back wall of the freezer. Something has broke. Any ideas? Thank you

If you can't see the damper door, it is most probably shut, possibly frozen or not working. Top of middle section, allows airflow from freezer to fridge part. Switch thermostat off, wait 20 mins, switch back on. If damper doesn't open, check stat and damper motor.

sounds like the defrost heater is stuck on, will need at least new therm, heater and might need main board

The freezer may be overcrowded with food in this case cold air from freezer is not migrating to refrigerator compartment. Inside the refrigerator, at the bottom and on top, there are opening sliding door that allows cold air from freezer to circulate in the refrigerator. Make sure that they are not obstructed. Or simply, your refrigerator condenser is dirty and may need cleaning. If neither of this is the solution, get a repairman to check or fix it for you.

I bought a GE profile Side by Side refrigerator PSS26NGPBB for $1,800. The temperature settings won't hold. We were gone for the day, came home and found our food all thawed in freezer. Inside temp both sides is now 70 degrees. Whats wrong???

VACUMM THE COILS UNDERNEATH THE THE FRIDGE THEY MAY BE CLOGGED WITH LENT AND DUST...... HOPE THIS HELPS

see if the back wall inside of freezer have ice if so you have to change tiker board or check your doors if closing

My GE Profile is 1.5 yrs old and I have the same problem. I came home to find all my food spoiled! It seems many GEs have had this problem, I agree GE should do something, there are expensive units.
