GFE28GSKMSS GE refrigerator not cooling

[DouglasAZ]

Model Number

GFE28GSKMSS

Brand

GE

Age

1-5 years

I have a GE Refrigerator (GFE28GSKMSS)
The Refrigerator is set at 34 degrees (the lowest setting available) and it holds a temperature around 45/55 degrees. (I wish the refrigerator would be colder!)
The Freezer side is set at -5 degrees (the lowest setting available) and it holds a temp around -0 (I'm okay with the freezer temp but wish it would be colder too)

So, Freezer works okay but the Refrigerator isn't holding a healthy temperature for the food.
I clean the coils every 6 months.
I hear and feel the condenser fan blowing on the freezer but very little blows on the refrigerator side.
I hear the compressor running and I have the refrigerator pulled away from the wall about 3 inches for good air flow.

This GE Appliance is 3 years old and I feel I shouldn't be having issues but I am at a loss.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,

Check the FRESH FOOD(refrigerator) evaporator fan motor to make sure its running when it warms up like that, these GE refrigerator fan motors have been a major issue of failing when that happens.

Here's the FRESH FOOD(refrigerator) evaporator fan motor for your model:
Evaporator Fan Motor WR60X35205


Its In-Stock here:

Another member had this same issue, his model uses that exact same FRESH FOOD(refrigerator) evaporator fan motor:

FIXED - DFE28JSKHSS GE Adora Refrigerator not holding temp in the fridge

I am working on this GE Adora and it was working great then the fridge started to heat up. It is now at around 45F. I can get in to the Svc mode but I can't decipher the codes it is spitting out at me. I run the Thermister test (#24) and I get a bunch of numbers but nothing on the code list...

I'm sure you fixed the issue by now but I just had this happen and replace the Fresh Food Thermistor on the back wall that is attached the refrigerator coils and now my fridge is getting cold. I now have a question about frost on my coils.

Do you have the same exact model number GFE28GSKMSS ?

If not, please start a new thread about the frost on your coils with your model number.
