I have learned a good test for this refrigerator encoder (fridg./freezer control).
If the fridg. fails to run, you might have a bad encoder that sends digital signals to the motherboard.
Just unplug the encoder, the motherboard will automatically go to the default levels of 0 and 36 degrees for freezer and fridg. and will operate till a new encoder can be put in.

I have a GE GSS25XGNABB.

Similar problems as others. Freezer is only getting to 20 degrees, coils are frosting, icemaker isn't working properly, and my fan is not running. Is there any way to test the fan with a 9v battery? I tried testing the fan plug with my cheap multimeter, but I wasn't getting any of the voltages or ohms listed. I don't know if it's my mother board or just my cheap meter. Also, I have the 6 pin connector. Across one side is red/white stripe, blue, yellow/black stripe. The other side is white, white/grey strip, red. Which of these should I be checking voltage across? Can I double check that my fan does work before paying for a new motherboard?

Thanks,

Josh

Best to just replace both the evaporator fan motor and the motherboard at the same time. Bad evaporator motors burn out the motherboard.

i get truble with GE for general refrigerators special that one with control board
my question is
1- if any one can know how can you to check that control board if its good or not
2-what it's that Temperature sensor or that monted beside the evaporat coil in the bottom corner
for what if that bad what it's cause and i see anther one monted on the evaporat coil in the top left corner
if that goinig bad can cause any problem to the defrost system or not
becouse i get hotpoint refrog which is the same GE parts get defrost problem i change the contral board and defrost thermostat and the heater each one twice and still the same problem

Probably a bad evaporator thermistor, a long white plastic thing clipped to the evaporator, the cold coils in the freezer.
