Mike June 17, 2016 for Model Number FRT18KG3DWO 11/04 Fan is running but NOTHING is cold. Everything in the freezer defrosted and both the freezer and refrigerator seem to be at room temperature.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to check to see if the compressor is running. If not then the likelihood will be that the start relay on the compressor has failed and would need a new start relay. If the compressor is running then the issue will most likely be a sealed system issue and would have to have a service technician. The start relay part number is 5304433579 and you will want to replace the overload as well which is part number 216954208. Read More...
Mike I May 23, 2016 for Model Number LFHT1713LWZ The food compartment does not get cold. Freezer is ok.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to pull the rear cover off inside the freezer compartment and check the evaporator coils for being impacted with ice. If they are impacted with ice then there is a defrost issue and you will need to check for continuity on the defrost thermostat and defrost timer. If these check good for continuity then the defrost timer would be the issue. If there is no continuity on the heater or the thermostat then replace the part that does not show continuity.

Vance April 18, 2016 for Model Number 253.6419240E When I tested the thermostat in all range of settings cool-coldest it read .05 Ohms for all. So does this mean it is bad? shouldn't it read .00 at the coldest and if you place it in a freezer the warmest will also read .00?
1 Answer Hello Vance. No, it should read closed for continuity on any setting except off if it is room temp. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Joe December 07, 2015 for Model Number MRT15CSEWN My compressor would not kick on. I decided it was the start capacitor. The capacitor was replaced, but did not help. Last night when checking the fridge I gave the Cold Control knob a light rap with with my knuckles. The compressor immediately kicked on and the fridge ran till it got cold, shut off and would not start by itself. Again I rapped the Cold Control knob and it started and ran another cycle. Now I'm pretty sure it is the Cold Control, but want to double check before I buy one. Am I right or is it something else?HJ
1 Answer Hello Joe. You will need to order and replace the cold control 5304496562 on the unit. Read More...
Colorado Paul September 02, 2015 for Model Number LFTR1814LWD I am having a problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator - freezer works but not cooling the refrigerator. I turned the heater on manually and it quickly defrosted the freezer coil. The problem is I don't think the little circulating fan located in the freezer is working. When should it run and how can I test it? I have already ordered the defrost timer, will this, or can this solve the fan problem?
1 Answer Hello Colorado Paul, The evaporator fan motor 241854301 inside the back wall of the freezer should run anytime the compressor and condenser fan in th3e rear of the unit run. If not, it will need to be replaced. Read More...
T.B. August 02, 2015 Bought a Frigidaire refrigerator at a charity sale that has a defective cold control. The model/serial plate is missing. Do you know the cut in/ cut out temperatures and the differential of the following cold control? Mfg. #450226-16 which crosses to part #241537103. From my research it was used in numerous Electrolux made devices but as yet I have not been able to track down the info I seek. Thank you
1 Answer Hello T.B., I'm sorry but part 241537103 specifications are not provided by the manufacturer. The model number would enable us to pull the specific information as per the model number. One tech sheet pulled as generic information gives the refrigerator temperature as 35° to 40°F. This is as close as they come to listing the information you requested. The manufacturer would have to be contacted for the specific information you need. Read More...
Gary July 01, 2015 for Model Number FRT21S6JWO My Fridge will not get colder than 7 in freezer,and 49 in fridge, I have checked defrost control and it is working, and the unit seems to be running ok, The unit runs and shuts down regularly. I set the Tsat to the lowest setting with no effect, Is it Possible that Tstat control will not go any lower. I have 45 years in AC business and have checked cond, and fan everything is ok
1 Answer Hello Gary. You need to check and make sure there is no defrost issue. If not, then the cold control or the damper for the fresh food is the issue with the unit. Also, make sure the evaporator fan is running also. Read More...
Steven Fox June 28, 2015 for Model Number FRT18L4JBP HI. Freezer temp goes from -11 to 40F, but fridge temp very stable. Through some chat-service-line at Sears they set 5304421256, temperature control. Comments? Where's it located? Is this for freezer only? Fridge part only? .....extra: They also sent THERMOSTAT K, 5303918634, but that's not here yet. THANK YOU in advace, Steven
1 Answer Steven, The thermostat is located in the refrigerator compartment and is in the control housing on the ceiling middle of the refrigerator. You will remove 4 screws to remove the housing. Read More...
Pete March 02, 2015 for Model Number FRT18B5JB2 If the fridge temp control knob is set to normal the food is too warm, if I turn it up colder it is too cold and the food starts to freeze. there doesn't seem to be a middle ground. Curious if I can repair this or if it is time for a new refrigerator. thanks
1 Answer Hello Pete. You will need to order and replace the cold control 241537103 on the unit to repair the issue. Read More...
Rogelio February 23, 2015 for Model Number FPUI2188LF3 My freezer is only cooling, fridge area real cold but now feels like it's only cooling. Was told it was something like a cookie.
1 Answer Hello Rogelio. You need to check the condenser coils and see if they are dirty. Also, make sure the condenser fan motor 242018301 is running good. If the coils are dirty or the fan motor is bad, the freezer will not cool like it should. Read More...
