Hi Everyone,
I need some help figuring what wrong with my GE profile Arctica side by side. Freezer is still working fine but fridge is warm. Also, the temperature control panel does not stay on unless I press it. You can hear the motor running but fridge is warm.

Thank you

You hear the freezer(evaporator) fan motor running inside the freezer?

Do you notice frost build up on the back panel inside the freezer? Take some food items out of the freezer and look/feel the back panel for frost build up on it.

Also, the temperature control panel does not stay on unless I press it.

That's either a bad temperature control display board or bad motherboard. If you have a multimeter you can check voltage to it from the motherboard.

In post #2 here I explain how to do that:

FIXED - PFS22MIWCBB GE Refrigerator - Power outage now not working

I have a GE Profile, PFS22MIWCBB, side by side bottom freezer. We had a power outage and when power came back on the fridge no longer worked. Inside light is on, nothing on the temp displays and no sounds. I installed a new control board and still nothing. Next step?

Jake, I actually notice frost around the items in the freezer.

Frost on items in the freezer usually means you have a air leak coming in. Check your door gaskets and ice dispenser flapper door that lets the ice come out the dispenser.

Also check the refrigerator evaporator(custom cool) and fan motor.

Here's our main thread on this issue, Rick explains how to test each fan motor, very detailed:

FIXED - PSC25NSWCSS Fridge not cooling below 45 degree ClimateControl Custom Cool fan assembly not rotating

Hello, I have a side by side GE fridge and just noticed that the fridge side is not cooling below 45deg (the freezer side works well). I removed the plastic covers on the evaporator located inside the fridge section and noticed that the fan is not working. It is a 12V fan. I tested the fan with...

ZFSB23DRHSS Freezer cold, fridge not so much

A friend has the above model, side-by-side. Freezer is set at 0 degrees, readout on frig is 0-1 degrees, and confirmed by thermometer. Frig is set at 36, readout is 44-45 (pretty consistently), and thermometer reads 38-50 - obviously varying widely. Cold air blows from the vents in the back of...

Look at my post#2 here: PSC25MSWASS Temp To Warm, Wont Cool

See if that fan is running in my post where I explain about it, your model uses that exact same fan assembly as in post#2.

Here it is:

Also see if your refrigerator evaporator coil has a ice ball on it, there is a ice ball kit to resolve that problem if so.
