PFE29PSDCSS General Electric Refrigerator - Overview

Hi Mike, thank you for question. It sounds like your issue might actually be the water inlet valve itself. You can test the part with a multi meter to be sure. The solenoids on it should be reading anywhere between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. This would be the part number: PS6883668. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Noel, Thank you for your question. If the compressor is not working, but it tests fine, check the condenser fan motor to see if it is working. Begin by unplugging your refrigerator from the power source and then remove the rear access panel to locate the condenser fan motor, it is usually found at the bottom rear of the appliance. Once you have located it, look for any debris or obstructions that could be preventing the fan from moving freely. You should also inspect the condenser fan motor for any signs of wear or damage. If the fan motor is seized or worn, you will need a replacement condenser fan motor. Check the condenser coils as well. If they are dirty they can prevent the compressor from working. If they are dirty clean them. You should also check the temperature sensor and the electronic control board. You will need to test the temperature sensor with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. Begin by unplugging your refrigerator, then remove the back panel of your refrigerator to locate the main control board. The thermistor(s) will be connected to the main control board. Remove the thermistor(s) from the appliance in order to test them. Before testing them, you will need to place the thermistor(s) in ice water for 5 minutes in order to bring the temperature to 32 degrees F. The thermistor(s) will produce different readings at different temperatures, and the suggested ranges below only apply to thermistors at a temperature of 32 degrees F. With the probes on the terminals and your multi-meter set to Rx1, you should receive a reading of 16,600 ohms (+/- 5 percent). If you receive a reading outside this range, you will need a replacement thermistor. The electronic control board will need to be checked visually for signs of damage, wear and burn marks. If it shows any of these signs, it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Larry, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding, we would recommend checking the inverter control board, part number PS12345457. It supplies voltage to the compressor. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Hello Patricia, thank you for reaching out. Yes, your model comes with 2 evaporator fan motors, 1 for the freezer section, and 1 for the fresh food section. A refrigerator running constantly could indicate an issue with the defrost system. We would recommend cleaning the condenser coils first. If the problem persists, then you may need to check the defrost thermostat, part number PS8688283, to solve the problem. We hope this helps!

Hello Chip, thank you for reaching out. The first thing to check is water filter compatibility. The water filter, part number PS10063209, is compatible with your model. For the installation of the water filter, use the following instructions: 1. Align the top of the water filter with the cartridge and push until the cartridge is fully seated. 2. While continuing to ensure the cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in the vertical position. 3. If the filter is not swinging easily, ensure it is properly aligned and fully seated in the cartridge holder. We hope this information helps!
