[FONT=&quot]Hello, I'm at my wits end. I have a GE GSS22JETE CC side by side fridge freezer. The problem is the ice in the ice maker tray melts, and then refreezes into a big mass. There are times when you open the freezer and there is liquid condensation on the sides of the freezer. It's almost like the defrost heater is staying on too long. I've replaced the Defrost heater, the thermistor in the freezer by the evaporator coils as well as the defrost thermostat. I've just replaced the control board on the back of the unit. But it still has the same problem. Also the ice dispenser auger motor freezes up. I take the whole assembly out and it works fine after it thaws out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Measure the freezer and fridg temperatures and post.

Some models have a foam gasket b[FONT='Times New Roman']ehind where the evaporator cover connects to the fan housing If this gasket gets moisture in it and freezes the thermistor can read temperature off the ice in the foam causing the defrost cycle to stay on too long.[/FONT]

This is a long shot because most models don’t have the gasket (I don’t know which ones do) but if yours does remove the gasket and see if this solves your issue.

As best as I can determine all of the panels are in place. As the problem began before it was disassembled, I do not know how a panel could have been displaced.

I did check to see if the fan was running, but it was off. I also checked to make certian the heater on the icemaker was off.

Thanks again for your help.

One thought I had is maybe the icemaker mold heater is staying on too long. Try turning the icemaker off and see if the problem goes away.
