Why is my GE side by side refrigerator intermittently gettining -20F
I have a GE side by side gshs6lgbbhss initially it started getting too warm so I replaced thermistors three of them. After installing them this was not the issue so ordered aftermarket evaporator motor and replaced. That fixed the issue of not staying cold, but it seems now the freezer section gets intermittently -10 to -20 degrees F below zero. It gets too cold now and when it does you can definitely hear MAJOR fan noise. I replaced the main board with a factory original thinking this would solve my issue. Upon removing the old board I did not see any irregularities with capacitors, transistors, resistors, or burnt sections I had read somewhere that if the evaporator fan motor went it would damage the board and to replace both so that the new board would not have the same fate. After a few days it started doing it again. getting too cold in the freezer. When it does this I usually open the freezer door let it get back to zero or 10F and slam the door shut to stop the fan noise it makes when it gets that cold. Interestingingly, it doesn’t do it all the time in fact it’s running quite fine right now, but it’s so annoying when it does! The fresh food side of the refrigerator has no issues just the freezer.
