Refrigerator malfunction - big GE side by side, fridge side is too warm

That's fairly specific. I think I'd use BING to search for a more product specific troubleshooting website. I've had better luck that way than asking on groups and forums when it comes to household appliances.

It has been rendered moot . Momma sez "we can afford a new one" so I'll be picking it up at Lowes in the morning . I could pick it up today but I'd rather have a drink than drive 120 miles round trip this afternoon .

I can very much related to the remark. In the spirit of the RMHVB&G have one on me.

Sure will ! Care to join me in a sip or three of my home made rendition of Galliano ? Actually I started the conversation about a new unit . This is the

3rd time this (bought used like 7 years ago) fridge has dropped out on us . I ain't inclined to fix it again , and parts are getting harder to find . With any luck at all I'll never have to repair a fridge again (that sound was me knocking on wood) .

For us its been the shelves, plastic rollers for drawers, etc that have failed. We had one fridge that was a turd some years back, but Sears still had a local store then. They gave us a credit for the full price of our broken machine and said go pick out something else you like. Generally we always have three fridges and a freezer. One in the kitchen, one in the "bar", and one in my shop office with the freezer out in the garage. A fridge failure doesn't usually do more than inconvenience, although I do sometimes have to impress upon my wife that temporary doesn't mean forever when she asks me to put something in the shop fridge.

Now watch. We'll take a lightning strike tonight and it will fry all four machines. LOL. In fact I think we did lose a fridge to a near miss the first year we were in this has back in 2006.

There is probably a thermistor in the refrigerator side that reports to the controller. I'd bet that thermistor has gone south. I've replace many of them (my fridge has four). Whopping $2 item, and you'll have a fridge for the garage.

The only sensor I could find on the fridge side is a temp sensor near the top . It (I think) reports to the control board , which opens/closes a flap also near the top to control air flow from the freezer side . Doesn't much matter now , there's a shiny new unit occupying that space now . And I already have a fridge for the shop ...
