Fixed our GE refrigerator! Easy to Install and works great!
We own a GE side by side refrigerator, model #GSS25JETG. We were having several problems with it. The main problem was the defrost cycle did not work properly. The freezer would defrost, but the temperature was too high - not high enough to defrost the food, but enough to cause the ice in the icemaker tray to clump together. There was a heavy coat of frost on the items in the freezer from the condensation. The water and ice through the door did not work either. Since the control board controls the defrost cycle and timing, we decided to give this a try. The original board was white, and the new board was green. The connectors were slightly different (a few extra connectors), but I took a picture of the old board before installing, and this helped. I had to re-use the green grounding connector wire from the old board, but installation overall was pretty easy. Make sure you are careful handling the new board, and take precautions to avoid static electricity discharge. We also replaced the defrost heater, which was showing burn marks in the glass heating element. The fridge now works perfectly. The ice no longer clumps, the temperatures in both freezer and refrigerator are perfect, and the water and ice through the door work fine as well. This saved us big $$$ vs buying a new unit. I hope this helps anyone having the same problem with their refrigerators. This model of GE refrigerator is known for control boards going bad. We are very happy with this item - it worked!
