refrigerator not cooling

by Troy Young
(Windsor, PA)

Our GE side by side is not cooling. The condensor fan and freezer fan are running. It seems to me the Compressor is not running, ie; no humming, all lines cold. I took out the relay and overload. The brown relay does not rattle but the overlaod does. I have looked at the motherboard and all "looks" well from what I can tell.

any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Troy,


If both of the fans are running and the compressor isn’t the main board is bad. The compressor should be running if both fans are running. To confirm disconnect power and look at the back of the board to see if there is a loose solder joint. Even if there isn’t I still believe you have a bad board.


Thank you,

Yep, I took it off and there is a burned solder joint under the black box that reads Comp, or compressor.

 Defrost

Most likely it is a defrost problem. Start with this page GE Refrigerator Not Cooling.

There is a picture that shows what the back of the refrigerator will look like if there is a defrost problem.
