During the period in the "yellow" zone do you know if the compressor and evaporator fan were running?
Looking at the sequence in the "green" zone it appears normal with the peaks being the times when the auto defrost cycle is occurring (approx every 10 hours?).
-
During the defrost cycle, the compressor and evap fan are both turned off and the temperature is allowed to rise to melt any accumulated ice off from the evaporator unit. The defrost heater is also turned on to speed up the process. The defrost thermostat will signal if the temp near the evaporator unit gets too high and the heater will be turned off if this happens before the end of the defrost cycle. At the end of the defrost cycle the control board turns the compressor and evap back on again to drive the temp back down to the normal set operating temp.

What should happen at the end of the defrost cycle is that the compressor will now cycle on and off maintaining the temp within the set limits, until the next defrost cycle occurs.

How long it stays on for to reach the correct operating temp depends on factors such as how long and often the door has been left open due to normal usage i.e. how much cold air has been lost or warmer air entered if you like, how much warmer food was placed in the compartment during the time which needs to be frozen and the ambient temp in which the freezer is working. The compressor will turn off when the lower set limit temp has been reached and then turn on again when the temp rises above the set upper limit.

This can be seen in the green zone by the temp varying between the set operating limits between the defrost cycles.
It does seem that the temp is rather cold, as I thought that the normal operating temp would be 0°F and not hovering around -10°F. Although the operating range seems to be between -12°F to 2°F which I suppose is reasonable
If you have the mini manual (tech sheet, you said that you ran the diagnostics so I was hoping that you had it) it should show the set temp ranges on that. The part # is GE 31-51954-2 but I can't find it online so I'm not sure what the set lower- upper range limit is. If you haven't got it check in the back of the cabinet in the compressor area somewhere as GE refrigerators/freezers used to have the tech sheet placed there in a plastic folder.
Where it goes astray in the yellow zone before you selected turbo freeze and also in the red zone, it seems like it was being reset after a defrost cycle had ended and that it works properly in driving the temp back down again but then fails to maintain it there.

If the compressor and evap fan are stopped when the temperature is above say 2°- 5°F during a normal cycle and if the temp sensor is accurate regarding the temp then perhaps there's a problem with the control board not starting the compressor if this is what's happening but it seems that it is starting the compressor OK at the end of the defrost cycle.

If you have the mini manual (tech sheet, you said that you ran the diagnostics so I was hoping that you had it) it should show the set temp ranges on that. The part # is GE 31-51954-2 but I can't find it online so I'm not sure what the set lower- upper range limit is.

Where it goes astray in the yellow zone before you forced the change and also in the pink zone, it seems like it was being reset after a defrost cycle had ended but then would fail to maintain the temp between the cycles.

Where it goes astray in the yellow zone before you forced selected turbo freeze and also in the pink zone, it seems like it was being reset after a defrost cycle had ended and that it works properly in driving the temp back down again but then fails to maintain it there.

If the compressor and evap fan are stopped when the temperature is above say 2°F during a normal cycle and if the temp sensor is accurate regarding the temp then perhaps there's a problem with the control board not starting the compressor but as the defrost cycle is a controlled event it seems that it is starting the compressor OK at the end of the cycle

If the compressor and evap fan are stopped when the temperature is above say 2°F during a normal cycle and if the temp sensor is accurate regarding the temp then perhaps there's a problem with the control board not starting the compressor if this is what's happening but as the defrost cycle is a controlled event it seems that it is starting the compressor OK at the end of the defrost cycle
During the period in the "yellow" zone do you know if the compressor was running?
Looking at the sequence in the "green" zone it appears normal with the peaks being the times when the auto defrost cycle is occurring (approx every 10 hours?).
During the defrost cycle, the compressor and evap fan are both turned off and the defrost heater is turned on. This is to melt any accumulated ice off from the evaporator unit. The defrost thermostat will signal if the temp in the freezer gets too high and the heater will be turned off if this happens before the end of the defrost cycle. At the end of the defrost cycle the control board turns the compressor and evap back on again to drive the temp back down to the normal set operating temp.
What should happen is that the compressor will now cycle on and off depending on the temp inside the compartment, until the next defrost cycle occurs.
How long it stays on for to reach the correct operating temp depends on factors such as how long and often the door has been left open due to normal usage i.e. how much cold air has been lost or warmer air entered if you like, how much warmer food was placed in the compartment during the time and needs to be cooled further and the ambient temp in which the freezer is working. It will turn off when the lower set limit temp has been reached and then turn on again when the temp rises above the set upper limit.

Where it goes astray in the yellow zone and even the pink zone after that looks like the temp sensor is not functioning correctly or whatever the sensor is connected to (control board) is not responding correctly to keep the temperature within the operating range.

If the compressor and evap fan are stopped when the temperature is above say 2°F then maybe the temp sensor is signalling that the temp is still OK when it is obviously not or if not that the control thinks that it is and they are kept turned off.

The temp sensor for your model is part # [link|https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/TEMP-SENSOR-WR55X27914|WR55X27914] but unfortunately I can't find the specifications for it i.e. how much the resistance value of the sensor (it is a thermistor) changes with each degree (or 5 degrees) of temperature or even what the resistance range is from lowest to highest operating temp specified for the thermistor itself.

If you have the mini manual (tech sheet, you said that you ran the diagnostics so I was hoping that you had it) it should show the set temp ranges on that. The part # is GE 31-51954-2 but I can't find it online so I'm not sure what the set lower- upper range limit is.
Where it goes astray in the yellow zone and even the pink zone after that looks like the temp sensor is not functioning correctly or whatever the sensor is connected to is not responding correctly to keep the temperature within the operating range.
If the compressor and evap fan are stopped when the temperature is above say 2°F then maybe the temp sensor is signalling that the temp is OK or if not that the control thinks that it is and they are turned off.
Perhaps the diagnostics only test if the sensor is connected and electrically working rather than if it is working within specifications.
During the period in the "yellow" zone do you know if the compressor was running?
Looking at the sequence in the "blue" zone it appears normal with the peaks being the times when the auto defrost cycle is occurring.
During the defrost cycle, the compressor and evap fan are both turned off and the defrost heater is turned on. This is to melt any accumulated ice off from the evaporator unit. The defrost thermostat will signal if the temp in the freezer gets too high and the heater will be turned off if this happens before the end of the defrost cycle. At the end of the defrost cycle the control board turns the compressor and evap back on again to drive the temp back down to the normal set operating temp.

What should happen is that the compressor will now cycle on and off depending on the temp inside the compartment. How long it stays on for to reach the correct operating temp depends on factors such as how long and often the door has been left open due to normal usage i.e. how much cold air has been lost or warmer air entered if you like, how much warmer food was placed in the compartment during the time and needs to be cooled further and the ambient temp in which the freezer is working. It will turn off when the temp has been reached and then turn on again when the temp rises above the set limit.

This can be seen in the blue zone by the temp varying between the defrost cycles.
It does seem that the temp is rather cold, as I thought that the normal operating temp would be 0°F and not hovering around -10°F. The operating range seems to be between -12°F to 2°F which I suppose is reasonable
