GE Refrigerator Repair – Akron, OH (GFE29HSDASS)

A GE refrigerator in Akron wasn’t maintaining proper temperature despite being set correctly. The refrigerator temperature was at 50 degrees even though it was set at 35 degrees. Our diagnosis revealed a failed evaporator fan preventing proper air circulation in the fresh food compartment.

The Problem

The customer reported that the refrigerator temperature is at 50 degrees even though it is set at 35 degrees. This temperature differential indicated the cooling system wasn’t circulating cold air effectively through the fresh food section.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the evaporator fan had failed completely. Without this fan running, cold air wasn’t being circulated from the evaporator coils into the refrigerator compartment, causing the warm temperatures despite the thermostat setting.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — DC evaporator fan for fresh food section
• Work performed: Replaced the fridge evaporator fan
• Result: Refrigerator now maintains proper temperature at thermostat setting

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE refrigerators from this era are generally well-built and worth repairing when the issue is a specific component failure like this fan. The GFE29HSDASS is a solid side-by-side model that should provide many more years of service with this repair completed.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent overworking the cooling system
• Check door seals regularly and clean them to maintain proper temperature
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator clear of food items for proper air circulation
