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
- Check the door seal
Ensure proper closure; replace damaged seals.
- Clean condenser coils
Use a vacuum or brush.
- Test the evaporator fan motor
Replace if not running.
- Inspect the thermistor
Test with a multimeter and replace if faulty.
- 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.
