Control Features - GE GBSC0 Technical Service Manual

Note: The refrigerator is shipped with protective fi lm covering the temperature controls. If this fi lm was not removed
during installation, remove it now.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer
compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator
and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating
environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but does not
shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Changing the Temperature
For Controls-on-the-Door Models:
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER pad. The ACTUAL TEMP light
will come on and the display will show the actual
temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the
WARMER or COLDER pad until the desired temperature is
displayed.
For Controls Inside the Refrigerator:
Opening the door displays the actual temperature. To
change the temperature, press either the WARMER or
COLDER touch pads until the desired temperature is
displayed.
Once the desired temperature has been set, the
temperature display will return to the actual refrigerator
and freezer temperatures after 5 seconds. Several
adjustments may be required.

(on some models)
Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
To turn the cooling system off, tap the WARMER pad
for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the display
shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the COLDER
pad for either the refrigerator or freezer. Then press the
COLDER pad again and it will go to the preset points of
0°F for the freezer and 37°F for the refrigerator. Setting
either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the
freezer and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power
Note: On models utilizing temperature control
knobs, initially set both knobs at 5. Allow 24 hours for
temperatures to stabilize. If further adjustment is needed,
adjust controls one increment at a time, and allow 24
hours to reach temperatures you have set. Setting the
refrigerator temperature knob to 0 stops cooling in both
the freezer and the refrigerator compartments, but does
not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
