Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running.   Kenneth B. • Crossville , TN • April 03, 2021

My barely three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running and we discovered it when most of the contents were just starting to thaw. Luckily we have nearby neighbors that my wife walks with most days and two or three of them came to our rescue with available freezer space to save the more valuable things like meat and seafood. The compressor would not come on, no fan, no noises of any kind but the light came on when the door was opened so obviously it had power. I unplugged it for a... Read more
