GE Refrigerator tF: TurboFreeze Is Active
THE SHORT ANSWER

tF identifies GE's TurboFreeze setting. It can look like EF on the display and indicates a temporary freezer-cooling feature, not a fault.
Check the freezer settings for an active TurboFreeze selection.
Keep checks outside service panels. Stop if there is leaking water, unusual heat, a burning smell or damaged wiring.
