GE Refrigerator Repair – Hartville, OH (GFE29HSDDSS)

A GE refrigerator in Hartville wasn’t cooling in the fresh food compartment, though the freezer was working fine. We found the evaporator fan in the refrigerator section had failed completely.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator not cooling but freezer working. The fresh food compartment had lost its cooling ability while the freezer continued to maintain proper temperatures.

Diagnosis

This particular model has an evaporator and fan in the fridge compartment. During our inspection, we found the fan had failed. Without the evaporator fan running, cold air wasn’t circulating through the fresh food section.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — DC evaporator fan for fresh food compartment
• Work performed: Replaced the failed evaporator fan
• Result: Fan operating correctly normal and symptoms resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE side-by-side refrigerators like this model are generally well-built and worth repairing when the issue is a single component failure. An evaporator fan replacement is a straightforward repair that can extend the appliance’s life significantly, especially on a unit that’s otherwise functioning properly.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — GE side-by-sides typically have coils underneath that collect dust and pet hair
• Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain ice maker performance and water quality
• Check door seals regularly — GE’s magnetic door seals can lose their grip over time, causing cooling loss
