Thank you, this taught me everything i needed to know. Easier to fix something when you know exactly what is wrong with it.

My GE fridge cannot stop working, and the lowest level of the fridge now is the freezer, Do you know what's wrong with it? Thanks.

My screen completely turned of but my fridge works well. Any suggestions

Ben, i have same fridge, 3 years old. the water valve / solenoid is buzzing. im getting about 65 volts AC, there at the plug. the valve ohms out good at around 300 ohms...yes, i tried a new solenoid too. do you know where the solenoid gets the voltage? i was thinking a bad diode, but dont know where it's located. any help appreciated.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! You saved me a service call something that turned out to be simple.

Thank you for this. My ice maker has been acting up and I went to messing around and somehow turned the freezer off. Did the reset and now hear it running again.

What color is the filter light on this unit. Also how do you reset the filter?please help

Thank you, apparently mine was on the sabbath mode and had no idea since the manual has no such info.

Does the control panel light up? Hard to see it at night and only shows the light under water/ice selector

Hi, i just got this fridge and the freezer temp display keeps changing on its own. I set it at 0 and keep changing . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am having issues with my fridge there no light no sound even if you press and hold the buttons. The ice maker is making ice, in other to get I have to open the door. GE model GFE28GYNHFS and serial HT501664

I have a PYE22KYNHFS which is similar to the one but I have 4 digits and it shows 00 00. Where can I get a list of each test codes for my model?

I have a GE serial number vr50 1987 and the compressor runs for 1 minute off for 2 minutes somethinglike that. What could be wrong?

I know you're busy so just respond when ever you can. Trying to get into the diagnostic mode of a GE gfe26gmkges. Dealing with frozen freezer coils (defrost heater, thermostat & thermistor are good) and it's driving me crazy... Any help is appreciated...

I have the ice maker turned off but it keeps freezing around the air vents into ice maker & freezing the handle. There is condensation in my fridge & the drawers keep freezing especially behind the giant bottom drawer. I have to defrost for 8hrs & restart over. But it only lasts a few months. I only have fridge half full. Keep everything away from vents on top. The bottom vents are blocked by the doors. I cleaned the coils & the bottom pan. Is there something else wrong or does this fridge just suck. It passed all the tests you showed in this video. Help

thanks for this, unfortunately my GYE22HSKGSS fridge has two sets of numbers that come up when pressing the three options to enter diagnostic mode, so not sure how to proceed!

How do you / What do you press > to lower the fridge temp?

keep pressing it once temperature reaches 43 or so it resets to 34 where you can keep increasing to your desired amount

How do you fix it if the plastic plate fell off? When you put it back on it doesn't work

I have a GE cafe model CVE28DP2NS1. Recently without warning the ice all melted and it seems the ice box fan won't constantly run. The fan is operational (temporarily) as it works if I unplug the fridge for a while and plug back in. Then once the ice starts forming the side wall where the air comes through to the icemaker from the fridge gets warm to the touch and the ice melts. Maybe a defrost cycle is coming on? I replaced the thermistor in the icemaker to no avail. I'm at a loss

Help! Can someone please tell me if this is normal? My GE fridge (GYE22) isn't keeping things cool, but only on the top part of the refrigerator. It has 3 fans (that I can see) on the inside -- 2 on the left that connect to the ice bucket, and one on the very top. I can only feel air coming out of the bottom left fan. I have read the manual and can't figure out what is normal? Should there be air coming out of all 3? Are there more fans? I clearly don't understand how a refrigerator works...any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot you safe the day

I'm not sure if this will work with your model, but give it a try! Sabbath Mode Press and hold lock & light simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter/exit Sabbath mode. Activate Sabbath Mode to turn off interior lights, temperature control and advanced features. Compressor will run on a timed defrost when in Sabbath mode.

Very nice video. Do you have a link so I can get the service mode list for a GE DFE28JMKBES refrigerator? It has a similar interface but has a 4 digit display. My evaporator fan is acting odd occasionally and I have one ordered for my unit.

Hi, I'm not a frige tech, but I know that sometimes our panel buttons get hit just right so the temperature gets changed without us realizing it until everything is either frozen or spoiled. My suggestion is to check that your temps are set correctly and then lock the control panel to prevent accidental button hitting.

Do you know how to enter diagnostic mode on the GE French door style fridge GNE29GSKESS? Manufactured in 2017

Have you every worked on a GE fridge that won’t get colder than 40 degrees. We just bought our fridge from Lowe’s, and the Fridge temp will not go any lower. We called Lowe’s and they told us to contact GE. GE sent out a repairman who ended up ordering a sensor and replacing a board, and the fridge still won’t get any colder than 40 degrees. Could it be a mode on the fridge?
