Temperature display is wrong until I reset after a storm
This has happened a few times now, where my GE Profile refrigerator will display an incorrect temperature and allow the fridge to get warm. The display was showing it was at 37 F, which is what we set it at; however, putting a thermometer inside showed around 41 F. I reached behind the fridge and unplugged it, plugged it back in, and the display instantly shows 41 F and starts running. It then cools it down to the proper temperature and stays consistent with the thermometer inside.
I have noticed that this has occurred a few times and we are usually clued in when the milk spoils faster (pre-putting a thermometer in there). I have also noticed that it seems to happen just after a lightning storm (live in Florida), when the lights flicker for a second.
Based on a power cycle fixing it and the potential link to power disruption during storms, would I be better served replacing the thermistor first or the control board? I am leaning towards control board, but open to suggestions!

Hi @rhayven44
What is the model number of the refrigerator?
What's the temp in the freezer compartment like? Is it as shown or also warmer than indicated?

PSS27NSTASS is the model number.
I cannot recall if the temp in the freezer is also wrong when it happens. EDIT - Let me revise that. I THINK it is off as well, but is a smaller spread. In other words, instead of it being 0 F (like the readout initially says), it switches to 2 F when I powercycle it.

Can you take a picture of the control board and upload it here? Adding images to an existing question
