I have a GE Profile side-by-side Refrig (model PSW26PSSB SS). The freezer does not stay cold. Often my food thaws. I?ve placed a cup of water in the freezer over night and it does not freeze. My ice maker leaks but I assume that is due to the freezer not being cold enough. I would love to get your help.

Check the squirrel-cage fan mounted on the top of the freezer condenser unit. The motor connects to the squirrel-cage with a friction-fit rubber coupler, and the coupler can wear out, causing the squirrel cage to barely turn even though the motor runs fine. Result was lots of ice build-up on the condenser coils, and no circulating air. Direction of airflow is into the bottom of the condenser housing and out the top.

The water is leaking from the Ice dispenser and the food is thawing

Seems like the freezer is not getting cold enough. If the ice maker was leaking the water would freeze. It would not cause the food to thaw.

Side by side refrig./freezer does not cold.

Are the heat exchange coils behind or under the refrigerator clean?
Are the fans running smoothly? Check for bent blades and bend them back if necessary.
Is the evaporating pan under the refrigerator dry.? Then the drain of the defroster may be blocked. Unblock with a steam generator or a long plastic tube.

Not getting water from dispenser in door

if you can get ice but not water from the dispenser then suspect a frozen water line within the door . Check you get water to the connector at the bottom of the freezer door. Sometimes you can clear the blockage by connecting a steamer to the pipe but this will only be a temporary fix . If the pipe has frozen within 6 inches of the dispenser outlet then there is a heater mod that can be fitted WR49X10173
