Hello, I have a GE fridge PN: PSS29GMD. My refrigerator is always about 30 degrees no matter what I set the temperature too.

Hello, I have a GE fridge PN: PSS29GMD. My fridge was always sitting around 30 degrees and I eventually discovered that the damper in my fridge had broken such that the flap was not able to close between the fridge and freezer. I ordered a new damper assembly thinking this would fix all my problems but upon replacing the damper my fridge is still way too cold. I'm wondering if something else could have been damaged in the time that expired between my damper breaking and my changing out the damper assembly?

Is the damper actually moving?

    How could I check that? Since the damper is enclosed i can't see if it is actually moving when it is installed.

    Change the temperature setting and watch the door to see that it moves to increase or decrease airflow from the Freezer

    So I took apart the assembly and I changed the temperature but the door never opened or closed. The door was closed at this time, though and the temp in my fridge was shown to be 29 so the door should have been closed. I then unplugged the fridge and after a minute plugged it back in and the temperature of the fridge updated to 45 degrees and the door on the damper assembly opened up. It appears as if the temperature on the display doesn't update very often. How often should the temperature update? Does it only update when the fridge door is closed?

    Judging by the symptoms and the test you may have issueswith the fridge ttemperature sensor. I don't know how often the temperature updates, sorry have been adked that.

GE monogram refrigerator too cold

There is a balance between the freezer and fridge. Reduce the freezer temp and see what the fridge temp does. By reduce I
mean make the freezer warmer. If it is set too cold the fridge gets colder.

Refrigerator temperature is 30. We cannot set it

check the fan that runs between the freezer and fridge in the fan housing is a damper that opens and closes if ice or debris is blocking or in way clear so damper can open and close the fridge is cooled by the freezer

Temperature setting

The fridge should be just above freezing, maybe 2 or 3 degrees celsius. The freezer should be around -15 degrees celsius. The outside temp doesn't matter as far as the settings go.

Bottom freezer temperature rises as high as 35 degrees and drops only to a low of 15 degrees continually. ongoing for a month now. french doors fridge now has temp. fluxes within this past week. temp. goes...

check the defrost thermostat , and any temp sensor that can determine the freezer temperature.
If this fridge temperature is electronically controlled, the freezer control board must also be tested.
