GE Refrigerator Repair – Carrollton, OH (GSS22KGMB BB)

We received a call from a customer in Carrollton, OH reporting their GE refrigerator had frost built up on the back wall of the freezer and the fridge wasn’t cooling well. When we arrived, we found a main control board that was clearly fried.

The Problem

The customer reported that the freezer had frost built up on back wall and the fridge wasn’t cooling well. This combination of symptoms pointed to a defrost cycle failure affecting overall cooling performance.

Diagnosis

We tested the defrost components and found they were normal. However, the main control board was clearly fried. This board controls the defrost cycle timing and refrigerator operation, which explained both the frost buildup and poor cooling.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR55X10942P — Main Control Board Assembly
• Work performed: Replaced main control board
• Result: Defrost cycle restored to proper operation, cooling performance normalized
