A large number of refrigerator problems can manifest from its motherboard. In your GE refrigerator, the motherboard controls pretty much all the basic functions of the machine. So if that motherboard goes bad or starts to malfunction, it can manifest in a stunning amount of issues. These issues include:
- Refrigerator not cooling
- Compressor not running
- Evaporator fan not running
- Wild temperature variation (Thawing/Refreezing)
- Electrical variation (Lights dim when you try to dispense ice, etc.)
- Stuck defrost cycle
Essentially, if your refrigerator is acting temperamental before breaking completely, it is likely a motherboard issue. However, while this may seem like a complex repair, the motherboard is easily accessible in GE refrigerators and is rather simple to replace.
Before you will begin, you will need to:
- Unplug the power to the refrigerator
- Disconnect the water to the refrigerator
- A nut driver
- Pliers
- A replacement motherboard for your specific model of GE refrigerator
