For this "problematic" refrigerator, put a 100 joule suge protector on the outlet. Available at Lowes, $12.95 a blue box made for appliances. Make sure it is designed for appliances.

GE side/side PSC25MSSASS. Ready to call the repair guys. Unit only 3 years old. Freezer/Fridge work great til about 1 day a week, the upper 1/4 of the freezer warms up and stays that way for a few hours. Then everything freezes up again and all is cool for another week. I would prefer to avoid "trial + error" and get this fixed. My wish? Can you all tell me the simple repair answer if there is one?

Should get a pro. to look at this, seems like a refrigeration problem. You can measure the freezer temperature and post.

Thanks - But - both freezer + frige cool perfectly 95 % of the time. If it was refrigeration problem, wouldnt it affect more than just the small section of the freezer where the defrost heater element (I assume there is one) is located?

Your defrost heater is on the bottom of the freezer. Syptoms point to a compressor shutting down. Either a compressor going sour, or the motherboard shutting down.
You might want to look at the back side of the motherboard for bad solder connections at the power relay. Or you can repost this as an intermittant problem. May be someone else has experienced this problem.
