I am having same problem but we noticed the flap that allows the cool air on the fridge side is not opening could this be the problem seeing the fridge side keeps calling for more cold air, would that make the freezer freeze up?

I have the same fridge model number, GSS22KGMCWW. I've replaced the mother board, defrost heater, defrost thermostat, fresh food temp sensor and checked the evaporator thermistor but the fridge is still frosting up every two weeks. Any suggestions?

Will send another post with specific model -- but generally we had a GE frost-free side by side -- on freezer side in back slightly below middle -- starts frosting up and then fridge become warm -- unplug, allow to defrost and then turn back on -- depending on weather conditions -- will last from about three to five weeks -- is it worth repairing? -- service calls are not cheap

You need to get a meter and learn how to use it. You cannot fix appliances that way any more. Look at these: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/How...e%20Manual.pdf

I also have a black G E side by side frost free with ice/water in door, and it TOO constantly freezes up on inside of freezer, cause fridge not to get too cold. I HAVE already replaced the mother board and defroster switch with NEW ones! Still the problem continues! I only run each side on number 5 as recommened. What in the world is wrong with this thing? What else could I possible have to replace? All door seals are tight and good too, and all dust has been cleaned from everything. What now?

You only needed to replace the defrost heater which is between $20-50. I bet I could find the problem is a minute or two with a meter. Never, never replace a part unless you have tested it first, guessing is not testing. The only problem seen with most GE refrigerators is a faulty seal on freezer door. To correct the problem you have to remove the door and lay it flat in the sun and remove all screws around outside and inside openings, then remove inner liner and clean around all edges and let stay in sun all day to dry well. Then seal around edges with clear GE Silicone caulk. Make sure you have the good stuff that smells like acetic acid. Put it all back together and seal any air leaks in that door.
