I bought my GE Side By Side about 4 years ago. Exactly 13 months later (ofcourse 1 month out of warranty) it started to make a clicking sound behind the freezer part and then just quit working. Thanks to this site I was able to locate the circuit board that went bad and replaced it myself. NOW however 1.5 years after that was replaced I notice that it is not cooling. I can hear the fan going in the freezer and it is somewhat cool, but wont freeze. The refrigerator is not cooling either. If I place my hand near the vent down by the drawers I do feel some cool air coming out but not enough to cool the whole thing.
Anyone have any idea what I can do with this?
I will never buy GE again.:mad:

It seems like it may be cool at least some. Remove the back of the freezer to see if there is heavy frost on the coils. If so melt all the ice and check the defrost heater. You can check the defrost heater with an ohmmeter and if it is open replace it. If there is not heavy frost on the coils you will need to see if the compressor is running post what you find. Also make sure the fan under the bottom is running as well. Refrigerator repair guide
