East Appliance was recently called out to help with refrigerator repair on a GE Profile that was not cooling in Commack.
While over the years we have worked on this style GE refrigerator plenty, we did learn something new, interesting and helpful.
So Helpful, We Simply Had To Share!
Upon arrival our repairman started with a freezer and refrigerator temperature check to verify unit cooling capacity.
A quick check with our infrared thermometer informed us that both refrigerator & freezer sections were out of design parameters.
After verifying air flow and defrost was not the cause for no cooling, our repairman made his way to the back of the home appliance.
Our new friend Mr. Homeowner, had already taken it upon himself to clean the condenser (an idea also found on our repairman tips page) but this time a bit more was at play.
We checked fan motor operation and progressed to refrigerator amp testing – which is where we found the cause of no cooling.

Enough Refrigerator Repair Mumbo – Let’s Talk Dry Ice
According to Howstuffworks.com – Dry ice has a Temperature of -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit!
Did you catch that? 109.3 Degrees Fahrenheit below Zero*
Residential freezers normally operate at -5 Degrees Fahrenheit to +5 Degrees Fahrenheit
That means dry ice is not only super cool at a party, but it also can preserve your food in a pinch.
Dry Ice / Repairman Note*
We agree using dry ice to temporarily offset downtime is a terrific idea.
An accurate refrigerator diagnosis however is often reliant on seeing the unit as is, without outside temperature influences like dry ice.
We advise to hold off on placing dry ice into the appliance until a baseline temperature reading can be taken by a trained technician.
In the least try to make contact with your repairman so that you can provide some details that will help with diagnostics.
