GE Arctica model PSH23SGPABS. Approximately 6 years old. The in-door ice dispenser chute repeatedly accumulates frost to the point of getting completely clogged with an iceberg. I don't use the ice dispensing function very often, when it does work. Maybe once or twice per week. Really, I don't use it much. I haven't used it in quite a while, because it usually is clogged-over nowadays. The freezer door is not opened excessively. The flapper that seals the ice chute sometimes hangs open, doesn't close itself after a dispensing cycle ... but I'm aware of that and always poke a finger up there to make sure it's seated. I disassembled the door shelf and ice guide assembly, cleared the blockage last Saturday. A week later there's frost accumulated and building inside the chute and hanging off the ice bin port. The chute flapper is closed, has been for the duration. I can shine a flashlight up the dispenser or down the chute, do not see light either direction. Still, the frost is accumulating. Again. Within a week of clearing the previous accumulation. The freezer and fresh food door gaskets are sealing properly, not torn. I have noticed that the freezer evaporator fan seems to run continuously, at a low speed. It stops when opening either the freezer or fresh food door. Raising the freezer set-temp doesn't affect the fan, it still runs. Normal setpoint is 0°F. Last night, at a current-temp reading of -1°F, I raised the setpoint to 5°F. The evaporator fan continued to run. I've also noticed that when the Quick Ice function is enabled, the freezer evaporator fan in the past would run at a higher speed for the duration of the Quick Ice cycle. It no longer runs faster, keeps running at the same low speed. Is this a dual-evaporator model? Is the freezer fan supposed to run continuously? The ice/frost accumulation in the door chute has been happening for a year+. I just tend to ignore it since I don't often use the ice dispenser function. But I'd like to have the idiot thing working properly! It did work 3, 4, 5 years ago ... frost accumulation in the chute wasn't so much a problem.
