Hi All,
Can any one HELP:
How do you get to the wires on the Temp Sensor to change it or Check it ?
Just pull on the sensor wires ? It is on a GE Profile Arctica
PSS25NGNA WW can you help.
Thanks,Woodie:p
Hi Woodie,
What is wrong with your refrigerator?

Thanks Gene,
The refrigerator will cool to 36 on freezer side and 56 on fresh food side. On the control pad the little red light for the Defrost is on and will not go out with changing temp.and it has ben running for 24 hours straight.
Frost on the back wall of freezer.The fan motor near the compresser run slow but its on.How about the thermostat sensors or defrost heater ?How do you remove them to check.just pull on the wires .
thanks for trying to Help, Woodie:)
Hi Woodie,
Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the cover from the main control board on the back of the fridge. Remove the wire from the J9 terminal. Measure the resistance between this wire and the wire connected to the J7-9 pin at the control board. The normal reading suppose to be no less than 22 Ohms.
Unplug the J1 connector and measure the resistance between the wires connected to the J1-4 and J1-5. The normal reading suppose to be (if the temperature inside the freezer is about 36°F) between 12 to 16 K Ohms.
Post the results.

Hi Gene, from Terminal J9 to J7-9 it Reads 25.7 OHMS
AND tERMINAL J1 to J4 and J5 reads 0 OHMS.
Whats next ?:o what do you think

thanks for trying to Help, Woodie.Can it be in Defrost mode maybe?

There is nothing wrong with the defrost heater and the overtemperature thermostat.
On what scale did you set the ohmmeter when you measured the sensor resistance between the J1-4 & J1-5?

Hi Gene,
Set on 200 scale and it has been run about 4 days straight and the fan motor near the compresser is turning slow.How about freon R134 ? Also did a control diagnostics test with the COLDER/WARMER pads and all looked good.
What NEXTS Thanks, Woodie

This scale is wrong to measure K ohms. You have to set it on a higher scale and redo the test.
How hot on touch is the compressor?

Hi,Gene Thanks for all the help.
The compresser is HOT to touch.
And from Terminal J9 to J7-9 it reads 26
and from pin J1 to J1-4 reads 16 and J1 to J1-5 reads 11
on 2000k scale.
Seems like you did the tests correct and there are nothing wrong with the defrost parts in the freezer. I believe you have to replace the main control board and the condenser fan motor to fix it.
It’s better not to use the fridge until you’ll do it. Otherwise it can damage the compressor. If you don’t have a spare fridge, put a regular fan to blow a cool air on the compressor.

Hi Gene,
If I buy the main control board and it wasn't the problem can i return it ? and 1 more thing if I set the temp.control to a lower temp it go's
back to the old temp. right away.As that normal?
Please let me no and thanks for the help
Woodie:)
Woodie,
As you can see from my signature, you always can return any part purchased from APP. Order these two parts and give it a try.
Gene.
Hi Gene,
Well I replaced the main control board and the condenser fan motor now fan runs faster but the temp.inside both the refrigerator and the freezer did not change. refrigerator is at 56 and freezer is at 28 and will not get colder
then that. a lot of frost in the freezer back wall.is there something to reset
with the new control board ? i am ready to blow this up!!!
What do you think ? Thanks for the help...:) Woodie
Temperature sensors ??
Hi Woodie,
Did you clean the condenser coils?
Did you install the cover for the machine compartment back in place?
Remove the rear panel inside the freezer and check how the evaporator coils are covered with frost. Post the results.
Gene.
Hi Gene,
I did put all covers back on and I clean the condenser coils.
But to day the freezer was at 0 and the frig.was at 31 and it will no change at all with the controls . (warmer ,colder Pads.
and i found water on the bottom of unit.
Thanks for the HELP woodie:)
After you changed the temperature setting, you have to wait about 24 hours to see a result.
Gene.
P.S. Where did you find water? Was it water or ice?
it was 24 hours and no change and the water was were the tube is on the bottom near the compresser were it go’s to de-frost.Thanks,Woodie:)
