Chilly Willy wrote:Why would the freezer get colder than its setting? GE Profile Arctica has a "Pre-chill" for its adaptive defrost control. "Pre-chill" would lower the freezer to -17 F (-27 C), much lower than its normal setting. The "Pre-chill" operation could last at least 2 hours before defrost-heating. It could last for 8 hours if the freezer door were open frequenctly. The "Pre-chill" would freeze the water reservior and the fresh food on the fresh food side if the damper control is bad (or stuck open). The Seven

There is a known issue with the damper on these - (sacrilege mode on) I suggest you call GE Service on this (sacrilege mode off).

Here is knowledge. Remove the light cover from the top of the fresh food compartment. Remove the light bulb that is to the rear and loosen the one toward the front till the bulb goes out. Now use a flashlight, squint, and close one eye and look into the damper assembly. You may see the damper door broken off and laying sideways down inside the damper. Attached is a picture of a new damper assembly next to an old one. (the new one is on the left) More knowledge will be dispensed as needed.

Having this problem with my Artica now. Repair guy can't come till Monday. What's the best way to keep everything from freezing in the meantime? Anything I can do to block part of the damper, etc? Or should I just turn the fridge on/off throughout the day?
