Cabinet
The fresh-food section was uniformly freezing
Readings of about 28-30°F from top to bottom made a localized damper pattern less convincing.
Conflicting-measurement case · GE Monogram
The Board Received a Cold-Sensor Reading but Displayed a Warm Cabinet
A new control did not resolve the 30°F-versus-60°F split. The remaining question was whether the sensor signal became unstable between checks or the control path still misinterpreted it.
What the source establishes
- The 48-inch built-in fresh-food section measured about 28-30°F from top to bottom while the panel showed roughly 50-67°F.
- The freezer operated normally.
- Sensor resistance measured from the board matched the actual cold temperature during the visit.
- The damper and fan operated, and the uniform cabinet temperature argued against a local airflow split.
- A replacement control board did not change the complaint.
A similar symptom can have a different cause on another appliance or model.
How the evidence narrowed the diagnosis
Sensor snapshot
Resistance matched the actual temperature
The measurement was coherent during the visit even though the displayed value was not.
Failed attempt
A replacement control changed nothing
The recall preserved sensors and their stability as unresolved parts of the same signal path.
What the evidence supports
The source supports a temperature-signal interpretation fault involving the sensors, wiring or control path, but it does not close which component failed. The suggestion to replace sensors with the board was a risk-reduction strategy, not a documented outcome.
What should be verified next
Log actual cabinet temperature and the corresponding sensor resistance over time, including when the display becomes incorrect. A technician can then compare the signal at the sensor and board before another paired replacement.
