Aaron R Malakoff , TX June 12, 2016 Running but not cooling Looked up possible causes on line and found video about trouble shooting. It said to check starter cap and run relay on side of compressor. Removed both and found both were bad .ordered replacements on line from appliancePartspros.com. Installed new parts and is working properly. This repair job was on a 2012 Frigidaire refrig. You would think a refrig. Would last longer than 4 years. The original parts and the replacement parts were light weight and cheaply made. I'll probably be doing this repair job in another 4 years . Trouble shooting and the final repair will take no more than two hours. About 50$ for parts and shipping all total Read More... 47 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers
Robert R Arcadia , FL December 09, 2016 Appliance: Model FFHS2622MBL Freezer/refrigerator was not cooling About a month ago we smelled a burning plastic smell coming from the refrigerator. It had gone away after a short while so we figured it had just gotten hot underneath so I cleaned the coils and it continued to run for about a month, at which point it stopped cooling. Upon investigation I had unplugged the refrigerator and plugged it back in to listen for the compressor to come on, but all that happened was that it would run for a few seconds followed by a distinct clicking noise and then shut off. So I took the holding pin off the compressor connections and removed them from the compressor and found that the starter and run capacitor had melted and fused together so I figures this was obviously the problem, but I tested the 3 pins on the compressor to make sure it didnt burn out as well. The readings between the 3 should be 10, 6, and 4. They were all about the correct readings so I went ahead and ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and in a few days they were here and it was just a quick reassemble and it was back running again better than ever! This is the 3rd time I've ordered from them and I will continue to use them for all my appliance needs. THANK YOU APPLIANCEPARTSPROS.COM!
