Possible Causes
High bin temperature due to poor insulation or door seal, Defective bin thermistor, Frequent door openings, Inadequate ventilation around unit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting seals or sensors.
- Step 1 – Check door gasket: Inspect the bin door gasket for tears, gaps, or warping. Replace if it does not seal evenly all around.
- Step 2 – Reduce door openings: Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods, which warms the bin.
- Step 3 – Verify ventilation: Ensure the condenser coil is clean and that airflow is not blocked, allowing the unit to maintain proper bin temperature.
- Step 4 – Test bin thermistor: Measure resistance and compare to GE specs. Replace the bin thermistor if readings are incorrect.
