Hi,

Your refrigerator has a dual evaporator system. What this means is it has two cooling coils rather than one as on conventional refrigerators. The point I am making is that since both the fresh section and the freezer section are having cooling issues the problem has got to be that the compressor isn’t running during the time that the temperature is rising.

There are three things that will cause the compressor not to run and they are the compressor, inverter or the main board. I have written a page dedicated to this problem on these models. GE ClimateKeeper Refrigerator Not Running Scroll down to variable speed compressor.


My first impression is that the main board is bad but I can’t say for sure until you run the test described on that page.

Thank you,
