My GE refrigerator is not getting cold enough - How to repair?

It often happens that the freezer does an excellent job, and the main compartment does not cool well. The first sign which helps to notice such a problem is that perishable food quickly goes to waste. If the refrigerator does not cool well, then milk, desserts, and meat will spoil 5 times faster than usual. This is an important signal that the refrigerator isn’t cooling properly and may need repairs. It is not difficult to determine what has broken in the refrigerator if you have related skills in repairing or previous experience. However, do not hesitate to require professional assistance if you are not sure about doing it on your own. One of the most common causes of a GE refrigerator not cooling properly appears due to the frozen evaporator coil. If the back of the freezer compartment is covered in more than a very thick layer of frost, the evaporator coils are likely frozen, which will cause improper cooling in the unit. You'll have to remove the panel covering the coils to verify frost buildup. Once the problem is found, you will need to leave the freezer door open, remove perishable foods and allow the ice to melt before it will return to normal cooling. You can also use a hair dryer, but this is only a temporary fix and you will probably need to replace the faulty part inside the defrost system. The parts likely to cause the problem are the defrost thermostat, defrost heater or the thermistor located above the coils. Change the position of food on the shelves, arrange containers, and the temperature will soon return to normal. If you notice ice or a snow "coat" on the wall, carry out a complete defrosting - after turning on the operation of the equipment should return to normal. Most likely, the door does not close tightly enough. If after checking the door and fan, it turned out that everything is in order, or defrosting did not help, then the qualified assistance of the refrigerator repair technician is required. Unplug the refrigerator from the mains and contact the service. Give us a call for more details!
