I replaced the evap fan and the temp sensor and it is cooling but we are getting huge swings in the temp and the temps can vary by 6 to 8 degrees from top to bottom. It will freeze eggs in the bottom drawer when set on 36 while running over 40 on the top shelf. Condenser is clean as was evaporator. Freezer is set on 2 degrees and works good.

The filter has RFID tag, and the status should automatically reset after new filter is installed. This fridge does not have a touch screen nor a reset button.

Anyone have this problem before? Any tips? Guessing we have to live with it or buy another expensive filter.

From around the back, we hear it regularly click, whirr (like trying to start a fan or pump possibly), then click again. It got fairly loud. Both the fridge and the freezer are running much less cool, and the ice maker is barely cool at all. The water is still flowing fine through the door, and filling the ice trays, but the cooling is junk. Any tips on how to locate the specific issue? Would prefer not to have to get a GE tech out.

Assuming that the first click is the compressor turning on, then the compressor overheats and then the second click is the the thermal overload cutoff.
