    ge side by side not cooling after repairs

    Model Number: gsl22jfpcbs
    Brand: GE
    Age: 6-10 years

    Mother in law got new fridge... I took old one for extra storage. It had a thermistor -temp sensor prob and a water diespenser issue. So I took it and ordered from partsdr.com and replaced this list of parts...main board, condensor fan/was noisy, evap fan with new freezer temp sensor, defrost thermostat, updated ge defrost heater/now double bar, fridge temp sensor, and compressor starter and relays. Cleaned this thing top to bottom... inside and out. Used compressed air and cleaners/paper towels. All together and everything maticulosly gone over to check for loose plugs/cables/grounds. All good. Plugged in and running ....fans good, compressor running, water dispensing....but not getting cold. All settings are set at midway #5, been running for 2 hours, should have gotten cold by now...... so now what????'

    Neither side, refrigerator or freezer sections are cooling? When you say its been running for two hours, can you hear the compressor running? If it is running, than the next thing to look at is the evaporator coil in the freezer. You want to look at the frost pattern on the evaporator coil, on a good working refrigerator you will have an even frost pattern across the whole evaporator coil, if only part of the evaporator coil is getting cold then you have a sealed system problem. Also, if you can, post up a picture of the evaporator coil, that would help too.
