Any refrigerator repairmen here? Have a question

[Dolomite_supafly]

We have a GE gsl25jfpabs refrigerator.

It quit cooling over the weekend last week. Called a repairman on Monday and he came out within a few hours. The control board had burned through the plastic insulator and grounded itself, ruining the board. We had the board replaced by the repairman. We previously had the refrigerator side set to 7 and the freezer side set about on 4. The higher the number the cooler it is. We like our freezer a bit warm so the icecream isn't rock hard but like our drinks really cold.

After the repair he set the freezer and regrigerator thermostats both on 5. I gave it a couple of days then turned the refrigerator side down a few clicks because the stuff in there didn't seem like it was cold enough. It sat for another day but with no change. The freezer is cold and seems to be changing but the refrigerator side isn't. The repairman said I had a 90 day warranty on parts and labor.

I called him this morning to tell him the refrigerator side wasn't cool at all. I also told him that because it wasn't cool I had turned it down some to get the refrigerator side cooler. His response was put them both back on 5. He said he didn't know why they put the thermostats on it because they don't control anything.

I know the thermostats worked before but now he is saying I have to leave the temps on 5 or the refrigerator won't work anymore.

Even though my wife thinks his repair price was fair, I think he charged too much. Considering all he did was replace the control board what would you as a repairman have charged?

Also, what should I do about the refrigerator side not cooling now?

Thanks

Sounds like one of the thermistors may be bad,

if I am not mistaken there are two in the freezer and one in the fridge.

you should be able to pick them up for under $10 per.

Tell the repairman to turn his house thermostat down to 50 you don't know why they put them in they don't controll anything .
