I have an intermittent problem in my GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator. The refrigerator side usually stays near 37, but the freezer side has excursions from 0 up to 13 and occasionally up to 21. The length of the excursion may be as short as a couple of hours or as long as a couple of days. On one occasion when the freezer went up to 21, the refrigerator did go up to about 45, but nearly all the time the refrigerator stays at or very close to 37. On two occasions the drip pan filled with water and overflowed. When this problem first started, the excursions were only about once a week, but now there is at least one a day.

The fans all seem to be working and I cleaned the compressor way back when I first noticed the problem. I'm not sure what triggers the freezer temperature control to start working correctly, but when it does the freezer temperature goes back to 0 within 2 hours. Seems kind of like a loose connection or a bad solder joint as someone suggested in this thread, or perhaps another similar one. I will look for schematics for this model PSC23sgpass so I can check for bad connections. Any other ideas?

Well issue has never went away, I've just been to busy to do anything about it. Both sides get cold, some times too cold. fresh food side rarely gets below 40 even though I have it set to 37. Freezer side has some wild temp fluctuations. I have it set on 0 and can sometimes swing from -3 to 12. Normally this happens over night when I wake up readout makes it look like the unit its getting warmer. If I unplug it and plug it back in temps are normal. One thing I've noticed is that in the morning when I get up I don't hear the compressor running. As soon as I open the freezer and then close it it starts to run. I don't think that's normal and not sure if the door switch may be the the issue. I do get some condensation on the fresh food side on the wall next to the freezer and sometimes I hear a creaking sound like that door is sticking. I have changed the main board, temp senor in the fresh food side and the one in the freezer. I am just stuck and my time is limited due to work. I hope someone people on here can point me in the right direction, if not I will just have to breakdown and have sears home repair take a look at it. Thanks in advance.

Well if changed the main board and changed the thermostat in the fresh food section. The temp on both sides stabilized, but the fresh food side will not go below 42 now. Does anyone have any ideas?

I will do so tomorrow. I think I may have found the problem or the other one anyway. I emptied out the freezer so I could remove the panel to check the coils. No ice no frost, I also took that opportunity to clean out all the frozen gunk at the bottom of the freezer. I had to have had the the freezer opened and unplugged for about 45mins. When I plugged it back in the food side was 52 sounds about rite and the freezer side was at 0. I know there was no way in the world that was rite. I would like to think that would mean the thermostat on the freezer side is the problem. Would I be correct with that conclusion?

Fan is working. I would have to check the rest. I had planned on taking the back panel off the freezer and checking the coils next. Ok 5mins ago the freezer temp was +7 and food side was 38. I was standing there getting something out and you heard everything stop as if it had reached the set temp. I knew it hadn't because I had set the freezer at 0 and food side at 37. unplugged it for literally 30 sec plugged it back in a freezer was at -7 and food side was at 42.. I don't get it.
