Hi! Our GE Profile Arctica side-by-side refrigerator/freezer (Model No. PSC23SGRDSS) is on the fritz and I'm hoping maybe someone can help? The fridge came with the house and we definitely don't have the Bill of Sale for the fridge, so the warranty doesn't apply. I assume it's about 3-4 yrs old (there's a sticker inside the freezer with "11/2005" on it).
It keeps trying to "start up" (cycle "on"? Sorry for lack of better description) every 30 seconds or so, but never manages to actually cycle on. The inside lights are working. The outside panel (water/ice/etc) was broken when we bought the house, so we had turned off the water. This problem started last night and both the fridge and freezer are losing cold now. The fridge and freezer temperatures won't display, but "HRS" is blinking steadily (I don't think the problem has anything to do with "hours" though because that's just part of the "Custom Cool" option for one of the fridge drawers-- you can set the hours you want to thaw for. I just think "HRS" is the only part of the LED that's working?). I unplugged it and let it sit for a while but after I plugged it back in, the same problems continue. From what I've googled, it sounds like the circuit board (whatever that means...Please excuse my ignorance.)?
Any help/guidance would be most appreciated! I know we can call GE, but without the warranty (and in these tough times), it'll probably be kind of expensive. If we can fix it ourselves, that would be great...
Thanks a lot!
