I have a GE side-by-side refrigerator, model GSHS5KGXSS, which has frost build-up in the ice chute. It started ~9 months ago and was very minor, with just a little bit of frost in the chute. About a couple months ago, I replaced the door flap (the original flap was wavy & brittle, not making a good seal). However, the problem continued with no improvement whatsoever. Now, the frost build-up has gotten progressively worse, migrating up the chute and onto the ice dispenser bin assembly and all the way up the front face of it. Also, it no longer just frost/'snow" but ice build-up as well. I clear it out about once a day, and it builds back up quickly.
From the looks of it, it sure seems like an air leak, but the door flap closes promptly, and it appears to close all the way. Is it worthwhile to replace the solenoid assembly too? I didn't do that yet because it seems to be functioning properly.
I have ready many of the other posts and see that this is a common problem.
Thank you!
