Default GE Side by Side Freezer Problems

Oh okay than there is no ice. The Freezer seems to be doing it's job now.
The OJ was frozen this morning. Got a temp gage and it is reading about 5
below zero at the moment, the fridge part is at about 47 degrees. I don't
know what has changed. But one thing that is happening now is when we open
the freezer and close it we hear a trickle/gurgle type of noise and sort
of a draining sound. Any ideas what that is?

You might have a partially blocked drain tube. There is a panel in the lower
rear of the freezer
compartment wall that is held in place with screws. You can remove that
panel and pour warm water
in the drain hole to clear it. If water doesn't clear it, you
can push a length of thin diameter aquarium tubing through the hole to
remove a stubborn blockage.

Are talking about outside under the Freezer side?

No. I'm suggesting you run your hand across the bottom of the inside of
the
freezer section to make sure there isn't a buildup of clear ice there
that you can't easily see.
Hope this helps.

I have moved most all food to our freezer in the garage until we get
this working as it should.
There is nothing in the way of the door properly shutting. There
wasn't before from what I could
tell. No ice build up as far as I can see.

OK--But...when our ice was built up, we couldn't see it, either.
I found it by running my hand over the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
Heh, hate to admit it, but the ice was clear and my eyes are kinda bad.
