The GE PSI23 line of refrigerators includes the GE Profile Arctica side-by-side refrigerator with dispenser. The line features GE's ClimateKeeper temperature management system, upfront electronic digital display, and in-door beverage system. Although the various components of the refrigerator are warrantied between one and 10 years, you may find it necessary to troubleshoot the more minor issues that arise with your GE PSI23 refrigerator. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Plug the refrigerator into a working power outlet if it doesn't run at all. Replace the fuse, if blown, or reset the circuit breaker, if tripped. Allow the refrigerator to sit about 30 minutes in case it's just undergoing an automatic defrost cycle, and check the temperature setting. If the refrigerator is set to "Off," select a different setting.
2. Open the refrigerator and freezer and check both compartments to verify that no food packaging is preventing the doors from closing completely if the motor runs excessively, one compartment isn't adequately cooling, ice crystals have formed on frozen items, or the ice maker isn't freezing ice.
3. Check the temperature setting of the refrigerator or freezer if either is too warm or too cold. Push the "Warmer" or "Colder" button for the correct compartment and tap the button until the display shows the proper temperature. Wait 24 hours for the new temperature to be reached.
4. Turn the ice maker's power switch to "On" if the ice maker isn't functioning properly or the dispenser isn't working. Check the water supply line behind the refrigerator, and fully open the valve. Level any cubes that have piled high in the bin, and remove cubes that have become stuck in the ice maker. Look into the dispenser chute, and remove any stuck cubes in that compartment.
5. Dump all ice from the bin and wash it if the ice dispensed tastes or smells bad. Look at the interior of the freezer to verify all foods are wrapped properly, as improper wrapping can cause food smells and tastes to transmit to ice.
6. Push the water dispenser arm and hold it for two minutes if water doesn't dispense. This will release any trapped air that prevents water from exiting the unit. Check the control pad, and push the "Lock Control" button for three seconds to unlock the dispenser.
7. Clean the interior of the refrigerator or freezer if either smells bad. Wrap all foods securely to prevent future odor transmission, and place an opened box of baking soda in the back of the refrigerator to absorb odors. Discard and replace the baking soda after three months.
8. Close the refrigerator door if the refrigerator begins beeping. This is an open-door indicator.
9. Push the "Beverage Center" button if the feature shuts itself off approximately six months after it's been used continuously.
