My GE Monogram is freezing everything in the drawers. I had this problem several years ago and it was the door that lets the cold air come in from the freezer. That is working fine now.

I have replaced the main control board and the 2 temperature sensors in the refrigerator section, but it is still too cold. It doesn't seem to matter what temperature I put the refrigerator on.

What could possibly be wrong with this thing?

I haven't come up with a solution yet. I am going to order 2 more sensors and change the ones out in the freezer.

You might have a defrost problem, or a refrigeration problem. Measure the freezer temperature and post.

Well yesterday changed the sensor in the back of the vegetable drawer and today the refrigerator was still too cold. I think i'm going to change like you the sensors in the freezer side. So far have changed three sensors and the mainboard and still the same problem....:( :mad:

Richappy - if you are still monitoring, I am having similar problems with a ge monogram zisb48dyb - installed ~14 years ago. A few years back I added the icing kit (GE WR49X10021 Icing Kit - AppliancePartsPros.com) and that cleared up most of my issues. I keep the condenser coils clean periodically with a vacuum brush.

Now, fresh food is freezing (e.g. ice crystals in milk, frozen yogurt containers, iced veggies), plus lots of moisture on the inside walls.

Temperature Readings (deg F, taken with an infrared thermo, about 6 inches from surface):

Left side - Freezer (outside wall / inside wall) - 6" in from door frame
3 / 8.5
5 / 5
3 / 3

Right side - Fresh Food (inside wall / outside wall) - 6" in from door frame
48 / 39
28 / 30
33 / 30

Note - at the bottom/left/rear of the fresh food compartment, there is a plastic "radiator" looking thing filled with fluid. That liquid is frozen solid.

So - all told, it is not cooling sufficiently in freezer, and too cold in fresh food side with too much variation.

Thoughts? Where should I start?
I will turn off and defrost over the weekend - while its turned off I would like to troubleshoot.

I would replace the fresh food thermistors.

Thank you - that makes sense.

Question - my model (zisb48dyb) doesn't seem to have a part labeled thermistor (I was assuming something like this: http://www.********************...istor/WR55X10025/914093).

Looking through these pages (06-Fresh Food Section parts for GE ZISB48DYB - AppliancePartsPros.com) I find the following:

* Thermodisk & Brkt (discontinued) - GE WR50X0108 Thermodisk & Brkt Asm - AppliancePartsPros.com

* Fresh food damper control ($205) - GE WR9X513 Damper Control (fresh Food) - AppliancePartsPros.com

* Freezer control ($52) - GE WR9X588 Control Freezer - AppliancePartsPros.com

* Thermostat (freezer, $15) - GE WR50X45 Thermostat - AppliancePartsPros.com

Is it one of these that needs replacing?
