Default GE Eterna not Cooling
Model Number: ess25lgna   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years   

I have a GE Eterna Side by Side Fridge.
ess25lgnaCC model.

Fridge and freezer are hot.
Fridge is getting power.
Interior light is working, Freezer light is intermittent.
No airflow inside freezer or fridge area.
It is not frozen up, removed interior back panel of freezer.
lower fan in bottom back is on and blowing.
compressor does not seem to be vibrating or humming.
Any idea of what I should test / check or replace?
Thanks,
Bobby

Do you mean they are hot, or just room temperature, big difference. I would start by checking the main board at the back behind the access cover. Look at the 2 capacitors below the transformer on the top right hand side, are the tops round or look bad compared to the others, Take the board off, and look at the back, do you see any burn marks?

It is outside in a garage in South Florida, so I was hot, but I think that is probably room temp considering the environment.

Looked at the Board.
Nothing on the front looked bad.
On the back there is one solder that looks burnt.
It seems to be going to the black square thing (I think it is a relay, says 12VDC and 20A).

Thanks for the response.
Bobby

That spot where it's burnt is the relay for the compressor. So, either you can resolder the relay pin, or get a new board and your problem will be solved.

THANKS!!

Resoldered the back of the board and all seems well.
I'll keep the part link in case it goes in the future.

Thanks again,
Bobby
