Trying to find out if there is a way to tell the control board to initiate defrost.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,
Steve

There is a Diagnostic mode that you can perform from the control panel which will automatically check all the components and give you a readout with a fault code.

GE Diagnostics

There is a mini manual under the front kickplate with similar info.

This model doesn't have a digital display. I have read that the board uses a adaptive defrost which counts door openings and compressor run time.  I was told that pushing the door switch about 5 times might work but it didn't seem to work.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email and I wish I knowed how to do IM's without the IM lizards that pop up. Very annoying.
