What to do when your GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator won't run at all

If the refrigerator has electrical power—the inside light turns on—but the compressor won't run, possible causes include a control board failure, a wiring problem or a failed compressor. A bad compressor start relay also prevents the compressor from running. Follow the tips in our troubleshooting compressor problems video to figure out the problem with your GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator.

Maintenance tips for your GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator

Routine maintenance helps your side-by-side refrigerator run more smoothly, so it uses less energy. Clean the condenser coils regularly to help the sealed system cool efficiently. The compressor won't run as frequently if you keep condenser coils clean. Adjust the refrigerator door to prevent air leaks into the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Air leaks cause frost buildup on the evaporator, which interrupts airflow and causes cooling problems.

Routine maintenance can also help prevent odors. Clean the inside of the refrigerator so spills don't build up and cause odors. Clean the drain pan under the refrigerator regularly, because the pan can attract insects and collect residue that causes odors.

Replace the water filter every 6 months or when water flow significantly decreases due to a clogged filter. Find the water filter for your Kenmore Pro refrigerator using our water filter finder.
