Default Defrost timer

Most likely defrost timer. quick and easy to fix.

Find an honest repair person. Part is less then $20.

Easy fix? Maybe. Look for a vent in the back of the freezer that may be iced up. We had the same problem several years ago and a complete defrost fixed it.

Probably not completely closing the door. If ice is forming, definitely the cause.

Had the same problem. The fan in the freezer is not working as designed and had to be replaced.

We had Jeff Rapier an appliance repair man for 11 years with GE, who lives in the villages, come over and he corrected our problem. He's honest, his prices were fair and he showed up promptly. Highly recommend! Phone 502-909-6518

In our case, we needed a new thermostat for our Whirlpool fridge. Not complicated and certainly doesn't warrent a new fridge. Jerry Thibodeau is excellent. He was here recently for two minor problems. Highly competent.
