Default Refrigerator light assembly very hot
Model Number: GSC22KGRD BB   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
I have a GE side-by-side refrigerator. Twice in the last 2 months we have had the following happen.
1. on the fridge side the light assembly at the top gets extremely hot - too hot to touch and the lights go out.
2. the freezer/fridge cool adjustment controls go dark.
3. the fridge gets warm as it is no longer cooling.
4. after unplugging the fridge for 30 mins or so and then plugging back in, it seems to "fix itself" with the cooler controls lighting back up and the light assembly no longer warm, and the fridge works normally again. Please help!!!

Default

check to see if light is staying on all the time even when door is shut, light should go out when door is shut

Default More than just light bulb heat

The light goes off when the door shuts, so that's not it. I think the problem may be with with the power supply in the light assembly - but I am only guessing. I tried to call GE but didn't get anywhere since they have no technical help line...anyone have any other ideas?
