Hello,

Sounds like you have a evaporator fan motor. That is what the error code you have indicates, the fan blade could be stalled to.

I work on these units every day and know them very well, I can walk you through any repair on this refrigerator.

GE model PDS22MFSAWW, clicking as if the unit is turning on and off? The digit temperature lights are gone, but fridge is running okay?

Due to the digital temp lights no showing , this is a sign of the main control board bad . The clicking from behind the refrig , clarrifies this . Replaceing the main control board , behind the refrig , behind the small 8 " X 10 " panel , will solve both problems . The part # WR55X10942 .

Something has malfunctioned on *********** control board part number WR55X10942 This board controls most functions of the refrigerator. It would be simple to say change the board but this is the first time I have seen one affect so many different controls that I recommend that a service technician come out and make sure that something other that that board is not affecting the other controls on your refrigerator. Please let me know what the technician finds, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Kenmore Elite bottom freezer refridgerator

I just went through this with my refridgerator and actually posted one of the questions. Here is what I found ........

In the freezer compartment behind the panel there is an evaporator fan which pulls cold air from the freezer and pushes it up into the refrridgerator compartment. If the fan is not working it is one of three things.. 1) there is so much frost in the fan area the fan blade is stopped and cannot push the cold air into the refridgerator compartment or the air channel is blocked. 2) there is no electricity going to the fan (usually tied to the door switch of the refirdgerator compartment, and 3) the motor is dead and will have to be replaced.

Solution to #1 - defrost but there is another problem in the "frost-free" part of the system which must be addressed or the frost will return and it will happen again in the future.

Solution #2 - check to see there is power to the fan. (most are 110VAC but some are 100VDC. Use a meter and check)

Solution #3 - If there is power, the motor is dead. Replace the motor. Be aware that AC and DC motors are different and replace per manufacture's specifications.
