GE profile fridge not running, cooling, int. light out, no ice

GE profile fridge not running, cooling, int. light out, no ice I have a 3 year old GE profile refrigerator model cye22tshsss. Noticed the water and ice dispenser were not working, then opened the fridge to find interior light did not go on and it was not as cool as it should be. Unplugged fridge, waited 5 minutes, plugged back in, and fan/cooler is working and interior light goes on. Ice and water dispenser still don’t work. 30 minutes later fridge turns off again, so I un plug and replug it and everything works….for a while. It keeps shutting down so I have to keep rebooting it until I can get a tech out here. From some of the other threads on this site, it looks like a common problem and the master board has to be replaced, and there may be a recall where GE provides a master circuit board for free. Just wondering if anyone thinks there are any other possible causes. The ice/water motor was replaced about 2 months ago. Oh, btw these GE fridges are a POS, imho.

"Have you inspected the condenser coil, it is the coil outside the unit, is there any obstructions or is the fan blade dirty? is there heat being rejected from it? Is the compressor running? when it shuts of is the compressor hot?

A refrigerator is a Heat pump in its operation & theory.

I need to know more, I would forget a board if it were mine and put an old electromechanical timer rather than the circuit board unless the boards cheap, if its $400 forget it."
