I have a GE Fridgerator with the freezer on top, it will get cold and freeze everything like it should and then the next day everything is thawed even though the freezer is running but its not getting any colder and the fridgerator part seems a bit warmer than it should be but not bad. Then it will seem to fix itself and the next time you check it everthing is froze again. last night it was completely thawed out, this morning still everything was thawed when I left for work at 8:00 and then when I called home at 10:00 A.M. my wife said everything was froze again inc. the ice cubes. What might the problem be.

"Thank you very much, it always sounds like the fan motor is running, and you can feel the air blowing inside the freezer, but I suppose the condensor fan motor is seperate from the circulating fan so I wouldn't be able to hear the condensor fan over the circulator fan, would that be correct?"

Hello again, sorry about the dealy in response, the condensor fan is running when its acting up, and so is the circulation fan blowing into the freezer compartment, what isn't running is the compressor, which leads me to think either a compressor relay or a faulty defrost sensor as the culprit. I am able to trigger the compressor to kick in when its acting up by giving a "whack" with my hand by the upper relay compartment behind the freezer. When it is in defrost mode does the circulation fan run inside the freezer if so, I think the defrost mode might be the problem, running to long or to frequent.
