GE French Door Turbo cool - this video shows you 1. How to access codes. 2 Where the Code Definition sheet is stored 3. How to read the codes. VERY USEFUL
We are glad you found it helpful!
Really helped me troubleshoot why my fridge compartment was operating at higher than normal temps. I found one thermistor unclipped from the evaporator tubing and the upper fan was making the noises ever since I bought the unit and finally failed. Thank you!
My papers were where you showed in the video however they gave the wrong instructions for entering the service mode, yours are correct for the "auto fill" fridge.
Thanks for the feedback! We are happy that we could help!
Thanks for your help. Your video is the first to show the key sequence for an GE PFE28 with the AutoFill function button. All the other videos and website I have researched have the same Water/Cubed/Crushed button sequence.
Great! Glad we could help!
Yes, but then how do you select the code you want to run?
Did you guys see my top secret subzero video! Great title going to save this in case I see this fridge!
Good title! We will check out your video.
Thank you for posting the error codes sheet. I found my sheet but it DID NOT include a list of the error codes, just the diagnostic test codes. Even after search of the internet there's seemingly no place where these codes are listed, and I found that odd. Does GE want to hide these codes? Anyways, thank you also for shooting in 4k, because i was able screen capture 01:33 and save it in my files.
FWIW, my fridge "FF" condenser fan went out and thus I had a hot (60°) main compartment with a freezing lower drawer. All the codes I had lead me to the fan being bad and nothing else. Quick shoping trip on Amazon and my fridge was back up and cooling within two days.
Thanks!
And for side by side and maybe profile and french door. Basically if you have a display on your dispenser with temp display, you must press the temp + & - for both freezer and fresh food (so 4 buttons) all at the same time for 3 seconds. You must illuminate the display first, so just press a temp up or down, water filter button or any button to light it up, then press all four temp adjustment buttons and hold for 3 seconds. There will be 4 zeros on the display, maybe 2 zeros if you don't have double digit display. I then press any button to lock it into service mode so I don't feel rushed to input the test I want to run. I believe 16 is to exit service mode, but you can always unplug it then plug back in to reset.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this. Do you know how to toggle between tests and execute them? I don't want to mess anything up before I try to reset my display control board since my autofill keeps giving me an error. Is it the freezer up/down for the "10"s place and the refrigerator up/down for the "01"s place?
I don't see a link for how to remove middle drawer assembly? I have cafe model cve28dp2ns1 and the ice maker quirks when do test 99 but won't do it on its own? Can't find that test sheet anywhere.
Nice
I don't have a ice/water dispenser on my door and don't have a panel between the upper refrigerator and lower freezer drawer...any suggestions?
You've been a big help! When I ran the condenser fan test it ran and the display bounced between 13 46 & 13 50. What is the display telling me?
GE doesn't specify, our guess is maybe it is motor speed or RPM?
@PartsDr Thank you, that is what I am guessing as I can't find anything on the web.
@@PartsDrYes, the tech sheet confirms it's showing RPM.
Thanks for the video. How does one enter diag mode on a GE GNE29GYNBFS? This unit doesn't have a water dispenser. I noticed that there is a floating connector above the compressor area that has some labeled for testing. I am in the process of checking if the start relay is bad or not since the fridge is getting power (lights are on, condenser fan is on). I was hoping to take advantage of any diags on the motherboard if possible.
Did you try to locate the tech sheet like we show at 0:23? This is where you will find the information for your model refrigerator.
Thanks for the information. Ended up finding that the compressor for this GE (GNE29GYNBFS ) is dead. This GE last only 3 years. The repair guy said it would cost $1800+ to replace the compressor and it is 6 months warranty on the compressor. Ditching the GE and getting a new one from a different brand instead. Very disappointed with GE since this was replacing a 20+ year-old Jenn-Air.
I guess GE Appliances being acquired by Haier didn't insure good quality. We also kept getting emails to buy extended warranty. Probably shows how confident GE is about the quality of their products.
@@felix4525 Sorry to hear that!
FZ evaporator thermistor tested -2 (when freezer is 38) slowly it moved value to 38. all the others immediately tested exact temp. probably should try a FZ evap thermistor for a warm freezer.
That is most likely normal for the evaporator thermistor since it is directly on the coil. You may have a problem with the automatic defrost cycle. You can try testing your temp sensors like we show here: ruclips.net/video/SBfqozNgLYY/видео.html
Yes, great video! My GE refrigerator stopped making ice awhile ago. Now it’s giving me “replace water filter dispenser off” even though I just replaced the water filter. How do I get a list of those tests?
Look for the tech sheet on your refrigerator like we show at 0:23
@@PartsDr Thanks for the reply! When I watched that the first time I didn’t realize there was paper under there!! I’ll look in the am! Subbed to your channel! In your professional opinion, do you think that most servicemen know to check the refrigerator with that tech sheet?? Because the two guys that I had out here, didn’t do that! Ugh
@@keekdkelly it's really hard to say, it depends on the technician.
@@PartsDr True, well now I’ll be asking if they know about that sheet! Thanks again for the video!
@@PartsDr No tech sheet on my fridge. 😕😕😕 But it does have the QR inside. So I guess I’ll start there.
Nope, nothing there either. 😢
When I try to go into test mode after the code come up I don't get the double 00's I get nothing, what does that mean?
Gotta check mine tonight after work. My fresh food section is cool but not cold. Milk spoils fast i can feel at the front vent cold air but it's not blowing. So I'm thinking thermostat or bad fan
Check these things listed here: ruclips.net/video/_m7pW3PueJs/видео.html
Did you figure it out?
Whenever a test returns a temperature, the first two digits are the temp and the 2nd two are the decimal, e.g. "10 27" --> 10.27 deg.
Thanks! That is helpful!
Can you inform your audience how to obtain that publication that list all the trouble codes?
Yes, we show how to locate the tech sheet with the error codes at 0:23
@@PartsDr thanks -- missed it 1st time around
Whish you would've listed all the test mode functions....I can find the tech sheet online anywhere
The tech sheets and list of functions varies by model. We show tech full sheet with the list of tests at 1:32, if you have your video set to HD resolution, you can read it on a computer monitor. We show where to locate the tech sheet at 0:23 in the video. If you can't find it, try contacting GE or a GE certified technician to see if they can get it for you.
For running this test mode, you disconnected the top center piece to retrieve the tech sheet. Does this piece need to be reconnected before proceeding to test mode?
Yes, it needs to be reconnected.
How long should test 47 take? How long before you see error codes if any?
@@PartsDr I am getting code 01 05 Condenser fan cannot reach target speed. Does this mean the fan/fan motor needs to be replaced?
@@ryguy2259 Check the fan motor make sure nothing is obstructing the motor from running. It can be a failure of the motor or the main control board that sends power to the motor or in some cases both parts are bad (the motor failed and caused the main control board to fail). We recommend replaces both parts at the same time to cover your bases.
There are 2 other codes as well that are not listed. 02 2o and 99 9d
I read another person changed the refrigerator evap fan and it fixed their problem. I replaced the evap fan 3 years ago. When I just tested the evap fan it turned on but I feel it wasn't blowing that strong.
My display got wet now won't work at all and lights inside fridge off?
It sounds like the water may have shorted and damaged one or more of the control boards.
Please my ge refrigerator is not dispensing. It is showing " DISPENSER OFF" and "CHANGE WATER FILTER " in red color
First, make sure you have an original GE water filter and that it is installed correctly. ruclips.net/video/Kni4RxrCIAE/видео.html
WHERE CAN I GET THAT TECH SHEET?
We show at 0:23 where to locate the tech sheet.
Are you available now to assist with a repair?
Sorry, we do not offer a service like that.
Great video thanks. I got 3 codes but can’t find anything about the second two.
