Jeff August 31, 2013 for Model Number Frigidaire Appliance FPHS2699KF0 My problem is the refrigerator seems to being having a problem trying to "kick" on. When it does you can hear it going through a power cycle several times in a row in a matter of a few seconds. During which time the Power failure light and "beeping" sounds go off on the front panel. Kind of like when you loose power in your home and then it comes back on and you have to reset the panel on the unit. Which I do but I need to do this several times during the day. Could this be the compressor run capacitor?
1 Answer Jeff, If the compressor is constantly trying to cycle then you would want to do an amp draw and see what kind of amperage there is when it starts up. If it is drawing anything over 9 amps then the compressor would most likely be the cause. If it starts but shuts down after a couple of seconds then it sounds like the start relay may not be kicking over to the run winding or the run winding on the compressor is faulty. Read More...
Jim August 09, 2013 for Model Number 25329082992 My Kenmore Elite upright freezer will not get cold in normal operation. The power is connected. The lights are on. However, this model has a quick freeze feature. When I turn it on by pressing the button on the front panel, the unit runs and the freezer will cool to freezing temperature but this kicks off after a certain period of time and the unit warms back up to room temperature. What could be causing my problem?
1 Answer Hello Jim. The temperature control 216521200 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Harry. The control board 297370600 reads the sensor to maintain the temperature inside the unit. Read More...
Hai July 23, 2013 for Model Number FRS24ZSG I bought my friend - It still working - take to my house and plus in electric - about 15 minutes It work - after It not work Thank
1 Answer Hello Hai. It may have went into defrost. Let it sit for about 30 minutes and see if it comes back on. If so, it went into defrost. If all power is dead, check the breaker on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Rob July 22, 2013 for Model Number FRT21NGJW2 My refrigerator all of a sudden got warm. Someone mentioned that the Start/run relay is probably bad. My refrigerator doesn't use a relay but a start capacitor at the compressor. Is this the possible problem or might it be something else. I guess capacitors can go bad but it doesn't look burned. Rob
1 Answer Rob, If the compressor is not running then the most likely cause for failure would be a bad compressor or a bad PTC Starter 218721108. Read More...

Art April 24, 2013 for Model Number FRS6LF7GS2 my front temp display is flashing "4 " on the frig side, compressor not running. Do u know what the error code is? Thank you for any help.
1 Answer Art, The 4 flashing on the refrigerator side would indicate a damper failure. You will want to check the wiring between damper and main control board. If correct replace damper and if the problem persist replace the control board. Read More...
Mike M April 05, 2013 for Model Number FRS26R4AW5 I accidentally left the refrigerator door open and the unit is not running is there anything I could check like a rest button or something.
1 Answer Mike, There is not a reset button on the unit. You will want to check to see if the fans are running, lights on, compressor running and see if the compressor is hot or cold. If the compressor is warm, then the unit may be in a defrost cycle if no fans are running. Let sit for about 45 minutes and if the fans and compressor do not come back on then you may have a bad defrost board. Try to unplug and let it sit for 15 minutes to reset everything and then plug back up. If unit still does not come on the defrost control or themostat would need to be replaced. Read More...
Royr March 11, 2013 for Model Number gfu20f5aw3 Freezer just stopped working, still kind of blowing a little cold air. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Royr, You will want to check to see if the compressor is running. If compressor is not running then you will want to check the start relay 5304491584 on the side of the compressor. When you pull the relay look for charred marks on the casing of the part close to where it would plug into the compressor. If it is charred then it will need to be replaced. Read More...
Luckey February 23, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 79578302804 Hello, I wrote a few days ago about my frig not working. I replaced the computer board and now the top refrigerator blower is not blowing only the freezer part is working. What can I do other than scrap this junk?
1 Answer Hello Luckey. You will need to test for power to the evaporator fan motor. If there is power there and it does not work, you will need to replace the fan motor. If the fan is running, but the damper in the top is not opening, you may need to replace the damper assembly. Also, make sure the coils in the freezer are not frosted over indicating a defrost issue. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
