This problem occured @ 2 years ago and GE replaced the doors b/c of a class action. Now about 6 weeks ago it started again. The fridge gets warm -er and when i check the freezer the coils are completely iced up. I defrost them with a hair dryer- as that's what the tech did when he replaced the doors but this only lasts for about a week.... There's a round blue gadget attached to a metal tube at the top, it's flush (saw that on another post). We put vaseline around the doors - suggested by someone. I can only assume that something went bad as this happened all of a sudden, not over a period of time. Any suggestions would be more than welcomed. Model is gss22sgmdbs GE side by side Thanks in advance
