GE GSL25JFPBS Side by Side Refrigerator - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The board or the cold control thermostat depending on model is bad. If it has a board, that Board most likely also controls defrost which may be why your coils are feeezing if Board is bad.

Yes , it sounds like the inlet valve needs replaced. It is located in the compressor area at the bottom back of the refrigerator.

Watch my video. I have installed 3n1 here, but found out that compressor is dead.

I have a 3 year old GE GSL25 refrigerator with the water/ice dispenser on the freezer door. Even when setting the freezer at 2 and turning the fridge's lower drawer to the warmer "cheese" setting, the water dispenser line would freeze every few weeks. If you have this problem, first verify that the water filter (back of the fridge) is not clogged and that water flows from the water line at the bottom left corner of the freezer door (disconnect and press water delivery dispenser-see owners manual).
I used the hair dryer recommendation to unfreeze the line by heating the flat area of the freezer door directly behind the water dispenser area (~10 min did it). The trick to keep it from freezing up again involved buying a cheap foam sleeping bag mattress (~1/3 inch or 1 cm thick) made of a polyurethane foam (pretty dense). I cut it to match the flat area of the freezer door behind the water dispenser and taped it to the door with packing tape. For the past 3 weeks (even with freezer at #4 setting), my water is flowing freely. Personally, I think this solves a product defect with insufficient insulation in the freezer door near the dispenser water line.

Generic possibilities: 1) clogged filter - replace if needed, 2) defective switch, 4) defective water solenoid valve (if you used to hear a clicking from the rear of the fridge when dispensing water - it could be a bad switch OR solenoid) or crushed / kinked water supply line (but if you have an auto ice maker that works - that's not the problem).

On an R134a system the low side should be down around 0-2 PSI when the freezer is down close to zero. Running slightly in a vacuum is ok at zero degrees.

I think ice makers have a power button either a toggle switch or when you look at the top of the ice cube maker you will see a stainless bracket about the size of a pencil lead and as long as the ice cube maker. If the bracket is up then the ice maker is off. It should be down touching or almost touching the cube maker. Another problem could be that you have no water flow to the maker. Line may be frozen. If you find the toggle or push the stainless arm bracket down you should hear the water pump Buzz or hum. Try turning it from off to on but wait about 2 or 3 mins between switching. I hope my info was relevant to your problem. Make sure your water pump is working it's located on the back bottom where the water line goes in

If the condenser is not exposed that is normal.

Your Freezer is frosted up you will need to remove all items from the fridge and freezer then you will to need to unplug the unit and remove the panel from the rear of the freezer compartment. You will likely see frost on the back wall even before you remove the panel. Once the panel is removed you will need to use a hairdryer to defrost the coils on the back wall. Place plenty of rags or towels in the bottom of the freezer to absorb the water from the melting frost You will need to know how to use a multimeter to do the next steps. Find the heater or heaters on the back wall of the freezer and check for open circuit using your ohmmeter. Sometimes you will be able to see the heater that is burned out . On GE models the heater will be mounted on a bracket or brackets on the rear wall of the freezer if two heaters are used replace them both if one is bad Also check the defrost thermostat for continuity and replace if open but be aware that the thermostat has to be cold to have continuity since it turns off the heaters when the temperature gets warm enough in the freezer.Most of the times the heater burns out causing your problem.Replace defective parts and reassemble.This should cure your problem.

if the clicking is coming from the bottom back that's the compressor,most likely a bad mother board.the model number you sent doesn't show up,unplug the machine,remove the back cover to the mother board,if there isn't all 7 relays on the board most likely this is your problem

Look for a wiring diagram somewhere... could be glued to the back of the unit. Hopefully if you have one it will show the wires color coded and where they should be attached.. Hint: next time take an I-phone photo before you disassemble.... hint..hint .. do this on everything you attempt to repair.

Wiring diagrams are routinely placed somewhere in the back of the appliance, often behind the access panel, and sometimes inside a small envelope, or rolled up and stuck into a frame channel.

Have you checked the backside panel on the rear of the refrigerator

Are you referring to the board on the back of the refrigerator or inside of it

check fuses first. if fuse is ok probably relay that controls front ,rear tanks

When you say the condenser are you referring to the coils or do you mean the compressor is hot?

I had the same problem back in March. First the water and ice dispensers stopped working, then the clicking started and the compressor wouldn't turn on. I replaced the circuit board and everything started working again, until today. This is a very common problem with the circuit board on these refrigerators. Do a search for "GE circuit board" and you'll see what I mean. GE issued a service bulletin to its technicians that this service should be provided free of charge, and anyone who already paid to have the circuit board replaced will be reimbursed. I wish I would've known about it 6 months ago. I will be calling GE Consumer Affairs on Monday to get this resolved.
