GE Refrigerator Repair – Salem, OH (DFE29JMDJES)

A GE refrigerator on Shannon Lane in Salem, OH was cooling fine in the freezer compartment but the fridge wasn’t cooling. Our diagnosis revealed a failed fresh food evaporator fan that wasn’t circulating cold air through the refrigerator section.

The Problem

The customer reported their GE refrigerator was cooling fine in freezer compartment but fridge is not cooling. The freezer maintained proper temperature while the fresh food section ran warm.

Diagnosis

We found the fresh food evaporator fan had failed. This fan is responsible for circulating cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the refrigerator compartment. Without proper air circulation, the fridge section couldn’t maintain temperature while the freezer continued working normally.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X35205 — refrigerator fresh food evaporator fan
• Work performed: Replaced the fresh food evaporator fan and reset the control board
• Result: Both compartments now maintaining proper temperatures with adequate air circulation

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE refrigerators are generally well-built appliances that respond well to repairs when major components like compressors and sealed systems remain intact. A fresh food fan replacement on this model is a worthwhile repair that should restore years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Install a surge protector to protect the control board and electronic components from power fluctuations
• Keep condenser coils clean by vacuuming every 6 months to maintain efficient cooling
• Check door seals regularly and clean with warm soapy water to maintain proper temperature
