The refrigerator temp won't remain consistently at 34 degrees any longer. I have turned off refrigerator for 1-2 days and then turn back on. It works fine for about 10 days or so. Then the temperature in the refrigerator starts climbing again. However, the freezer works and stays at 0.
You have a defrost problem!!!the evaporator coil is getting covered with ice and the evap fan can't blow the cold air from the freezer into the fridge section,you could have a bad jazz board,the machine isn't going into defrost this is your problem send me the full model number,it should be up on the right hand side wall up near the ceiling in the fridge section,if you have the control up in the fridge section on the front top and it's digital saying like 4 and 4 you most likely have a bad jazz board,if so open the door or if you have french doors open the right door,hold the light switch in,press the down key three times,let go of the door or light switch,now press the button down again and you'll see like s and p or something like that then press it down again and it should go back to 4 and 4 shut the door and open the freezer,you just manually put the fridge into defrost,but if the compressor is still running and you'll hear it this is the easiest way to tell the jazz board is bad,after like 5 minutes you should hear the ice crackling if the board is good,that's the heater coming on melting the ice but send me the model number and i can help you out.
SOURCE: freezer works ok.refrigerator temp varies from 39 deg.to 60 deg.
check to see if there is frost in the back of the freezer if so you have a defrost prob..
SOURCE: Freezer quits working
Solution Found! The problem is when the temperature surrounding the
refrigerator in the garage falls to < 45 degrees, the thermostat
regulating the refrigerator will not call for the compressor to kick in
to provide cooling (it's temperature requirements are being met). Since
there is no demand, the compressor will not cycle, which is how the
freezer is kept cold, and the freezer eventually warms up to match the
refrigerator temperature. Frigidaire makes a "Cold Kit" that I ordered
and installed from RepairClinic.com for $22 (Item
#: 1037646; Description: Garage kit). It's basically a strip heater
that runs off the control power to warm the thermostat and causes the
compressor to cycle once to twice a day to keep the freezer frozen.
After installation, the refrigerator stays at 40-45 and the freezer
stays around 0 degrees.

thermistor has worned out so please change the thernistor then you ll find the temperature gets maintained in 0 degrees......
SOURCE: PTS25LBM GE Profile Defrost cycle messed up
The GE Profile Refrigerator has circuit boards and sensors are in the freezer that sends a signal to the circuit board to begin and end the defrost cycle. It is very possible the sensor or the circuit board are defective and will need replaced. I will help you solve this if you like. This refrigerator is complex and will take more discussion with you to complete the repair, I am here to help, let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Hi Mark and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
Touch the front of the unit where the doors close and feel if it is very very warm to the touch. If it is very warm to the touch... here are the prime suspects:
1. condenser coils covered in lint
2. condenser fan not running or running slow.
An easy way to determine if there is a condenser fan or coil fan problem is to simply direct a floor fan at the base if the refrigerator. If it cools down substantially in an hour.... there is a problem with the coils being clogged or the condenser fan not running. If that makes no difference... before opening the back of the unit... inspect the back wall of the freezer compartment for any signs of ice build up. If you see ice-build up.... unplug the unit.. remove freezer contents and direct that fan into the freezer compartment for just over 2 hours. Then return the unit to normal service.... If the temps come down to normal... for 2 - 3 days then start creeping up again... you have an automatic defrosting problem.
Forgot to mention... make sure the evaporator fan is running at full speed.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
