New GE Digital Refrigerator - with # WR55X10151 Main board failure again !

To be sure new 2001 GE HTS22GBMARWW frost free refrig 22 cu ft..... Digital controls........Variable speed compressor design.
However, the main logic board part# WR55X10151 that is tightly used on many of they`re 22 cu ft models keeps burning up the resistor at R95.......(at the evaporator fan connector) When this happens, the evaporator fan can`t work. publicly replaced the board twice now.......As expected & that 2ohm 1watt resistor alweays desperately runs very hot. On the whole should I just increase the size of that resistor to 2 watts to handle the heat?
I `m fed up with the lack of competent technical support from GE......they wil sell you the new parts, but they evenly have no coarsely answers when you ask if the part is marginally updated.
Furthermore, the unit is one year old........this shouldn`t interestingly be nominally happening. Anybody seen a tech bulletin on this ? Los Angeles

farther down the line to fail.
Yet another reason why I believe electronics and home appliances shouldn`t ever mix.

In other words there are 2 posibilities:
1. The evaporator fan is operating cortreclty but the resister was spec`d wrong. This would require its current to be order of 0.seven A or more - not likely for a small 115 VAC fan. But if it`s a low voltage weekly fan, may be possible.
2. The evaporator fan is draswing excessive current and the resistor is acting as a increasingly slow blow fuse. It may have an intermittent short but since you individually say it always mildly runs hot, possibly a bad motor.

Change the Fan motor and the board. This is a DC motor controlled by the board. The motor is drawing too many amps causing the resistor to burn up. If the unit is only one year old, I`d call GE and try to get it repaied under warranty. The fan motor part # is WR60x10097 I think.

Henri Bacouhce written bandaid on the symptom. As an illustration I also agree whitch a bad motor is the most likelly cause howevewr the frezer motor on which model is # WR60X10043 (see the following profoundly link).
To be precise dan O. As if by magic - Appliance411.com http://ng.Appliance411.com/?ref411=GE+fridge =?~~~~~~

this in similar situations by just instalkling the 2 resistyors each on end, with the upper leads bent over & soldered to each other.

If this helps anybody than It'll be worth it......what I did with that burnt resistor R-95 on the board was removed it and replaced it with a 2 ohm 5 watt ceramic resistor than re-soldered the terminal behind the board for one of the relays that showed it was burnt also.......IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!and has been working so far going on 3 weeks so I can consider it a fix................better than spending $100 plus on a new board.....BTW I did take out the evaporator fan motor and bench test it before I change the resistor and it checked out okay.

Adadp, welcome to the forum - I hope you will enjoy it here

That's great info, thank you very much

If you change the whole board then you will spend $$$ of money, then just repair the board... change the resistor for that is compatible for your fan motor... check the specs of the motor, then buy a resistor that is equal to the motor energy need... Ge mwf here...
