I'm pretty handy with basic repairs, so I did some research the other day- and I was convinced that the problem was the thermostat on the interior condenser coil. I replaced that- but the coils are all frozen up again, so I tink that either the timer or maybe somthing on the motherboard are failng to turn on the heaing element.

I don't have ton of cash to throw around right now, so I'm trying to pinpoint and repair the problem myself.

The fridge is a GE Proile with the freezer on the bottom. I've got the coils exposed, and they're packed with ice. The fridge is running fine for about 3 days before it starts to 'lose it's cool'. Then I have to empty it out and defrost it. Let me know what else I can do.

Thanks,

That's helpful- but just so I know- It doesn't really look like the problem could be something else- the condenser and fans all work fine, and I don't know what other sensors might need replacement besides that thermodisc.

I'm on GE's website and there are 2 motherboards- the one on the back and the inside the fridge for temperature controls.

These are expensive parts, so hopefully I get the right one.

I replaced the outer mother board. The instructions for my bottom-freezer model said to cut the green wire at the capacitor, and the white thermosistor wire. I cut the green wire, but didn't see the white wire instructions at first. I ran the fridge for several days and it did the same thing as before. I just now cut the white wire- hopefully I didn't screw things up. Do you think it will work ok now?
