Hi all,
Just purchased a GE PSH23SGAP (SN MF421975, manufactured July 2003). Brought home upright in truck, let sit a day then plugged in. Thing seemed to run fine.
Problem is: it doesn't STOP running. When I press "COLDER" or "WARMER" buttons it seems to display current temperatures in freezer and fridge compartments, but those displayed temps are BELOW the desired ones. Just for grins, I tried hitting one or both of the "WARMER" buttons which eventually were supposed to put the machine in off-mode. The freezer and fridge displays show "OFF," yet machine continues to run.
Any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
MJ

Measure the temperature at back of the freezer and post.

Finally found a thermometer.
Freezer display shows -1, thermometer placed about mid-way up/down in freezer, with sensor toward back, showed -1.3. Selected temp: 5.
I had a technician over to fix my range and asked him generally about problems with fridges. He said that because I didn't have much stuff in the fridge, the temps could be low. I forgot to mention to him that the machine doesn't turn OFF when that is selected with the touch controls. Anyway, I bought more food and filled up fridge/freezer to see if it would have an effect and temps are still significantly below desired.
Tomorrow is the last day I have to return the fridge, so feedback is appreciated!

If you have a meter I can help to diagnose it, otherwise take it back, this has the infamous motherboard in the back. GE has had a lot of trouble with it.

Per richappy's suggestion, returned fridge. They tried to deny there was a prob(!), asking if it cooled (yes) and no food spoiled (yes), but I wrangled with them and got a refund.
Many thanks, and happy holidays to all!

Good that you did that, I could make cynical comments, but won't.
