Re: GE PCG23MIMHFBB not getting very cold
An update, and apologies for reviving this thread – we have moved house and have many other problems to sort out.
Anyway, on Bryan’s advice, I’ve checked that the fan runs on the freezer side when the door is closed (ok, open, but with the door switch depressed). It doesn’t – the fan on the fridge side runs, but IF there is also a fan on the freezer side, it isn’t running. Can anyone confirm there really is a fan on the freezer side?
Many thanks!
Re: GE PCG23MIMHFBB not getting very cold
That was the sort of advice I was waiting for!
That said, it has not fixed the problem. I have hoovered out the condenser and done a 24 hour defrost with no obvious effect. What I have learned though is that the rear panel has been off many times before. And that the water filter was last changed in August 2004!
Time to call an engineer methinks. I’m prepared to give it one go before writing off the fridge…
Re: GE PCG23MIMHFBB not getting very cold
Well, I’ve tried the engineer search now that I’m aware of it! I’m in Berkshire.
Before I call in an engineer, I’d just like to make sure it isn’t something really simple.
So… the fridge half doesn’t really get cold enough either – it is probably getting down to 7 degrees (I have a very simple thermometer in that side that only distinguishes between too warm, safe zone, too cold – it measures just above safe zone). The freezer doesn’t quite freeze.
I can hear fans running. When I open either door, the fans stop.
Right now the freezer has a very little frost on the plate, but nowhere elseMany thanks
