GE Profile Refrigerator PFE28RSH: Why is everything freezing on the bottom half of the fridge?

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 13:24:06 -0700

So, I have had this fridge now for about a year but it was used. Suddenly the fridge temp was getting warmer and warmer so not knowing what it was, I changed the water filter since it hadn't been changed in at least a year but obviously that wasn't what was causing the temp change. So after looking online I figured out that it was the evap fan motor. I replaced it myself and put everything back together. Within a day it was cooled all the way down to recommended temps. 2 days later, everything from the bottom half of the fridge is frozen. Also, my water dispenser is not working. Ice had been coming out just fine from both Ice makers and now suddenly even the Ice makers are not working. I can't tell if this is all related or separate issues. I have found several people saying the water line may be frozen. Would that also cause the fridge to freeze up? I cannot afford for a repairman to come out and tell me something that I could potentially do myself. PLEASE HELP Model: PFE28RSHBSS

GE Profile Refrigerator PFE28RSH: GE Profile Bottom Freezer Cool, Top Refrigerator NOT!

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 05:47:26 -0700

I have a PFE28RSHCSS GE Profile French Door Refrigerator.

I am having an issue with the top part intermittently not cooling. I would say that 80-90% of the time it is cooling properly.

Occasionally, I will open the top and it will not be cool and there will be condensation on pretty much everything. If I reset the cooling unit in the settings or unplug the refrigerator, it kicks back on and cools properly. It occasionally requires me to do this twice.

The freezer part has never had a single issue and is cooling properly at all times.

I've read through a few other posts and it SEEMS like it would be the Fresh Food Evaporator Fan, part 716 here:

But, I am not totally certain given that it works most of the time. Is there a way to test this further to ensure that it is the evaporator fan?

Is it likely that it would be something else, or is it a very good chance it is this fan?

GE Profile Refrigerator PFE28RSH: No water, interior lights, and cooling on GE PFE28RSHESS refrigerator

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 17:08:28 -0700

I have a GE PFE28RSHESS refrigerator. A few days ago I opened up the refrigerator doors and noticed that the interior lights were not coming on. A small green light on the vegetable tray does come on. Thought maybe it was a stuck door sensor but that didn't seem to be the case.

I also noticed that water was not coming out of the dispenser. The touch screen still worked and I could access all the buttons/settings through the touch screen but the water wouldn't work. The icemaker still deliverered ice (although I doubt it was making more ice).

The first thing I did was power the refrigerator off and on. That caused everything to start working again (lights + water). However that didn't last very long and eventually went back to the no lights/water/cooling. I've since cycled the refrigerator every time it gets in to this state (which is daily now) but obviously that's not a long term solution.

Any ideas?
