Thread: GE Monogram

Hi,

Whats the model#?

Jake

I do not know what the model # is, I cannot find it on the frig anywhere and cannot find the manual either.

This is a built in s/s with the condensor and fan on the top of the frig/freezer.

Oh, so its a built-in model?

Sorry, I don't have any repair experience on built-ins.

Hopefully another tech. or member can help you out.

Jake

sou nds like you have the same problem I have

I have a ZISB42DYb s/s builtin monogram

The ice comes from the top condesnor and drains into the freser, sometimes covering up the moters - it seems the drian gets cloged or does not work well

I can not see how the drain tube goes from the bottom of the condeser unit to the bottom of th evaprator unit

I suspect the bottom header is not keeping the watter flowing in the correct direction, to the rt to the evaporator

I see this post is very old. Have you solved the problem and what was it that was done? I am starting to work on Mono's and am trying to collect whatever feedback I can get...

Most of the time, the problem in this thread is caused by a clogged condensate tube. It could also be caused by a failed condensate pan heater, condensation build up on the evap compartment ceiling etc... The fix is a GE icing kit part# WR49X10021. It is a difficult job. Unless you have done many of these, I suggest you pass on this job and refer the customer to GE factory service.

VERY common problem on GE built ins, model # ZISB or ZISW

Poor insulation of the upper evaporator box.

Ive seen some with a heater installed but it didnt do a very good job.
