What to do when your GE Americana top-mount refrigerator isn't cooling at all

If your refrigerator's not cold enough, first check whether containers are blocking air flow at the vents; the owner's manual usually shows where the vents are. High temperatures are also a sign of a control system problem, a failure in the air control damper, low refrigerant charge and other malfunctions.

A failed evaporator fan can prevent the refrigerator from cooling. Follow the troubleshooting tips in our Diagnosing refrigerator evaporator fan problems video if you detect no air flow through your refrigerator.

How to replace a door gasket on your GE Americana top-mount refrigerator

• Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the refrigerator is shut off for this repair. Then unplug the refrigerator or shut off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator.
• Carefully pull the panels apart slightly and remove the existing gasket. Pull out the door gasket.
• To smooth creases and folds in the gasket, soak it in warm water and let it dry. Or carefully warm it with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting. Be careful not to melt the gasket.
• Starting at the top of the door, work the lip of the new door gasket into the gap between the inner and outer door panels. Work your way down both sides of the door and across the bottom. Check for loose spots. Work the new gasket into the gap between the panels.
• Plug in the refrigerator or turn on the house circuit breaker to restore power.
