GE Refrigerator error FF – Freezer temperature too high

If your GE refrigerator displays the FF error code, the freezer temperature has risen above safe levels, putting your food at risk.

_{Possible causes}

• Door left open

If the door isn’t sealing properly, warm air enters and affects cooling.

• Dirty condenser coils

Dust buildup reduces efficiency.

• Faulty evaporator fan motor

If it’s not working, cold air won’t circulate properly.

• Defective temperature sensor (Thermistor)

 Incorrect readings affect cooling cycles.

• Defrost system malfunction

Frost buildup can block airflow.

_{How to Fix It}

1. Check the door seal

Ensure proper closure; replace damaged seals.

2. Clean condenser coils

Use a vacuum or brush.

3. Test the evaporator fan motor

Replace if not running.

4. Inspect the thermistor

Test with a multimeter and replace if faulty.

5. Check for frost buildup

A defrost system failure could be the issue.

Pro tip

Keep your freezer at 0°F (-18°C) for optimal performance. Avoid overloading it to maintain airflow.
