Jd F Russellville , AR October 22, 2014 Freezer would not shut down kept running continuously Suspected it was the thermostat, since temperature stayed the same at multiple settings over a 24 hr period. There was only three components inside the freezer besides the evaporator, the fan was working, so I decided to just go ahead and replace the thermostat and defrost thermostat. Also replaced the defrost timer by the compressor, just to get all the old parts replaced with new. I had already replaced the compressor, so now I've pretty much have a new freezer. The new parts works great and the freezer now shuts down as it should. Only took me about half an hour to install the parts with just screwdriver.

Robert C Jay , OK September 19, 2014 Appliance: Model MODEL #???

The job went very smoothly, I received the parts a day and one-half after ordering them from your website.

Thomas C Oxford , GA October 03, 2014 Freezer would not start Looked for obvious signs of mal-function, burned wires, etc. I found that the compressor controller(attached to the compressor) had an obvious burned-out spot. Took a chance that was the problem (it was); ordered all new OEM parts, including a new timer and run capacitor (a part that kicks in every time the compressor starts). I received the parts at 1 PM EST; by 1:48 PM I had the freezer working. Easily saved $250.00. A nice aside was that an Internet competitor was asking $53.00 for the same compressor controller part that you guys were selling for $12.00. Just a good story all the way around.

Kenneth B Crossville , TN April 03, 2021 Appliance: Frigidaire Freezer LFFH17F3QWC Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running. 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 few minutes and tried it again to no avail. I got online and ordered what were said to be the most likely parts to fail and cause the symptoms my unit had. It took four days to get the parts. The starter controller on the compressor, the capacitor that plugs into that part, the defrost timer, and the thermostat. As others have said you always suspect the part that is the hardest to change and that in fact was the problem. Changing the thermostat last got it back up and running. It's obvious they don't make major appliances the way they used to. The last freezer we replaced looked like it was from the WWII era and had belonged to my wife's grandparents. I'm betting it was from the fifties. We unplugged it to defrost it one day when the ice got built up in it really thick and it would not start back up or it might still be running. Now I'm ordering another thermostat just to have on hand if and when it happens again.
