GE Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (PFS22SISBSS)

A North Canton homeowner called about their GE French door refrigerator that had stopped cooling properly. The fridge will not cool, but the freezer is working. Our diagnosis revealed a failed freezer evaporator fan motor preventing proper air circulation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their fridge will not cool while the freezer is working. This French door, bottom freezer model was maintaining freezer temperatures but couldn’t keep the refrigerator section cold.

Diagnosis

We found the freezer evaporator fan motor had failed. This motor is responsible for circulating cold air from the freezer evaporator coils up into the refrigerator compartment. Without it running, the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section warms up.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X10196 — freezer evaporator fan motor assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the freezer evaporator fan motor
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE refrigerators are generally well-built appliances that respond well to repairs when specific components fail. The evaporator fan motor is a common wear item that’s cost-effective to replace, especially on a side-by-side or French door model like this one.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — GE models with bottom-mount condensers need coil cleaning every 6 months
• Replace water filters every 6 months to prevent ice maker and dispenser issues common in GE French door models
• Check door seals regularly — French door refrigerators have multiple seals that can wear unevenly
