Possible Causes

TurboFreeze feature active, Control in diagnostic mode, Faulty freezer thermistor, Control board glitch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal access is needed for initial steps.

  • Check TurboFreeze: On many GE models, tF indicates TurboFreeze is active. Press the TurboFreeze button to disable it if not desired.
  • Exit diagnostics: If the display is not responding normally, consult the tech sheet (often behind the toe kick or rear panel) for the button combination to exit test mode.
  • Control reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes, then restore. Reprogram temperature settings.
  • Thermistor evaluation: If freezer temperature readings are inaccurate or fluctuate widely, the freezer thermistor may be faulty and should be tested and replaced if out of spec.
