Ok, now totally frustrated. I replaced the control board but it's still not fixed, just different. The clicking stopped. The hrs flashing stopped. It displays 58 for the freezer temp and 66 for the frige. replaced the part last night and tried to set the temp, I can hit the temp button arrow button and it shows 0 -1 etc but then after a second it goes back to 58 and 66 and nothing changes. I also tried the custom cool drawer this morning, set it for 45 minutes and it sure sounded like it was working, but after 45 minutes that wasn't cold either. help! please!
If the motor is running but it's not getting cold then you may have lost coolant. Did someone clean the ice out with a knife?

set to 0 for freezer, and 37 for fridge. give it 24 hours to stablize. blinking could mean it is adjusting.

I need to make sure that your refrigerator model and make numbers are listed correctly. Im having trouble with the information listed above your comments. I have GE data base and want you to look at the hyper link listed below. and let me know if this or I can help lead you in the correct direction, Thanks, Sea Breeze

If the fan is running you more than likely have a defrost problem.
look at the back wall of the freezer section if it is frosted up.
If it is frosted up. it's not defrosting.
There three components in this system. The defrost heater, the defrost termination stat., and the defrost timer. Newer refrigerators do not have a timer per say it is build into a electronic board usually mounted on the back of the refrigerator under a metal plate. The termination stat is the cheapest part @ $ 25.00. The heater should run @ 50.00 to 70.00. The board could be as much as 200.00 or more. If the refrigerator is over 10 years old you may wish to look into getting a replacement. Appliances are designed to start failing after 10 years old.
My opinion.
If you unplug the refrigerator let it defrost then plug it back in. it will work properly about 3 days before it frosts back up.
Hope this helps

I believe the start relay and start capacitor with the overload will need replaced. That is easy and should solve your problem, Sea Breeze

Sadly i would say the board is malfunctioning and needs replacement. There is nothing in the fridge/ freezer that if malfunctions can cause that.
