Kathleen March 28, 2021 for Model Number LFFH2067DW3 Freezer stopped working. The alarm sounds, no clicking for compressor trying to start. If the alarm is turned off there is no sound at all. Do you think it could be the run capacitor? Or is there a relay start (Or start relay)?
1 Answer Hello Kathleen, using a multimeter check if there is 120v going to the compressor start device 216954212. This type of start device is electronic so there is no "click" also the capacitor is only used to increase compressor efficiency, it is not used for starting the compressor. Read More...
Bob May 27, 2020 for Model Number FFU14M2AW1 Freezer quit cooling, I do not hear a click at temp control dial, but I can hear the compressor trying to start but it runs for only a few seconds and stops. also the compressor is hot to the touch when plugged in.
1 Answer Hello Bob, there is a sealed system problem that is not allowing the compressor to run more than a few seconds, it may be a system restriction or a worn/faulty compressor. Read More...
Bernie September 29, 2015 for Model Number FFH1767GW2 My freezer died completely. The only thing that works is the light. No lights on the temperature control. No change in Ohms reading on the start up capacitor. Could it just be a bad capacitor?
Leland May 20, 2015 for Model Number FFU17FC4AW2 Checked my compressor terminals and got a 12 reading across the two and then a 4 reading from single pin to the double and a 7 reading from the other double pin to the single also the relay part that plugs into compressor is melted on top. Do I need a new one of these or is my compressor bad? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Leland. As far as the ohms readings go, it is testing good. It can still be bad even though it is testing good. If the compressor is running, but is not cooling, then the compressor is fine and you have a sealed system failure and will need an HVAC tech. Read More...
Pat September 21, 2014 for Model Number FRT21HR6AB4 The freezer and fridge wont cool, coils have been cleaned and no clicking from compressor. The fan is running. It's been turned off for 24hrs and turned back on with no luck. What does the Start Capacitor do? Should I replace it or go straight for the Compressor. Thanks, Pat
1 Answer Hello Pat. Test for power to the compressor. If it is there and the compressor does not run, replace the compressor on the unit. Read More...
Randall October 27, 2013 for Model Number FFU20FC4CWO My Frigidaire upright freezer will not get lower than 35 degrees. Ambient is 65 degrees the last few day. The compressor will NOT come on. Every 60 seconds or so, there is a 'soft" or lightly heard clicking noise coming from the compressor and/or capacitor area. The compressor is hot to the touch. I see a run capacitor on the parts list, but not a start relay. Can you help with what I have supplied? Thank you very much in advance.
1 Answer Randall, The start relay for your unit is part number 5304491584 which is called the controller. Read More...
John June 25, 2013 for Model Number plku1267ds0 I have a frigidaire Houosehold Beverage Cooler. The unit is no longer keeping the item cool. What would you recommend to look at. I do not have a parts manual. The unit is around 6-7 yrs old.
1 Answer John, You will first want to make sure that the compressor is running. If not then check from the yellow to white wire going to the compressor to make sure that you are getting 120 vac. If not then you will need to check the cold control 216710600 to make sure that you are getting 120 vac. If you are then the cold control would be the issue and would need to be replaced. If not then you need to check the power supply to make sure there is 120 vac. If the compressor is getting power but not running then it would be the start relay 216954200. If the compressor is running and the unit is not cooling then the issue would be a sealed system issue. Read More...
Steve March 24, 2013 for Model Number frs23kf692 Hi.I have a Frigidaire that is not working right,it is on but not freezing any more it makes a buzzing noise and wont stop.i unplugged it for a day and plugged it back in and it worked again then a few days later it stopped again,now its not work again,its running but not getting anywhere,im thinking its the compressor capacitor or what ? can you help,the fridg is 06-06 not very old for a fridg is it ? i hope to fix it before i buy a new one,
1 Answer Steve, You will want to check to make sure that your condenser is clean and that the condenser fan motor is running. If not then this would cause compressor to overheat and trip out on overload. By unplugging you allow compressor to cool down enough to start. Read More...
Pat August 29, 2012 for Model Number FFU17FC4CWO Freezer starts to cool, but wont go to less Than 60F. It will then shut off. Is this the ?timer
1 Answer Pat, At this point, the timer 5304518034 is not the likely issue, unless you have a heavy frost or ice build up on the back wall. You do want to check and make sure, the freezer door is closing and sealing, all the way around the opening. ( using a thick piece of writing paper or dollar bill, Open the door, insert the paper between the door and cabinet, close the door and pull out the dollar bill or paper, there should be a slight "drag" on the paper, if not the door is not sealing properly). Mkae sure the interior light is turning off, when the door is closed, make sure there are no articles hanging over the edge of the shelves, or against the walls. If alls OK, then consider the cold control 5304513033 . Read More...
