Larry July 02, 2017 for Model Number Frigidaire lfht1513lb5 The fridge keeps tripping the GFI outlet. I tested on a non GFI and I get a light upon opening, but neither the compressor or fan kicks on. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Larry, It sounds like the unit may be in a defrost mode and is tripping the GFCI when the heater kicks on. You will want to check to make sure that the heater on the bottom of the evaporator coil is not damaged. Also if you turn then dial that is in the little hole at the bottom of the control housing in the refrigerator section til there is a loud click this should bring in out of defrost. Also you want to use the unit on a circuit that is not a GFCI. Read More...

Lonnie June 15, 2017 for Model Number LFFH2067DW2 Should I replace both the Compressor Relay & Run Capacitor at the same time or just the relay. The alarm sound warning came on letting me know that the temp dropped. This would be the 2nd time in less then a year that I had to replace the relay. Do I need to also replace the Compressor Run Capacitor? How would I know if I need to?
1 Answer Lonnie, The capacitor rarely ever fails on a refrigerator and would just need to replace the overload and relay. Read More...
Judy June 10, 2017 for Model Number FRT21NNGWO Our frig. is about 35-40 in the frig part and about 35-32 in the freezer. It is running all the time. We have it set the dial to the max. l have unplug and thoroughly cleaned inside and out. Inside I notice what looked like a little soot had come from the vent in the back of the frig part. Do you have any ideas? Thanks
1 Answer Judy, Did you slide the refrigerator out and check and clean the condenser coil on the back of the refrigerator. and the area under the refrigerator. When you put it back in position make sure you leave 2 or 3 inches between the wall and back of the refrigerator and an inch or so between the sides of the refrigerator and the walls. If all's OK, then check or replace the temperature control. The soot inside the refrigerator is usually due to candles and fireplaces, etc. being used in the house. Read More...
Shaun February 27, 2017 for Model Number FRS23KR4AB4 The compressor on my fridge sometimes comes on and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't it makes a buzzing noise for a couple of seconds and the fridge lights kinda dim then it stops until the next cycle. Is this a bad compressor or maybe a capacitor/relay?
1 Answer Hello Shaun, You should first install a start kit 5304491941. If this does not correct the issue and no wiring issues are present, you will need to replace the compressor 5304511983. Read More...
Frank December 25, 2016 for Model Number WRS325FDAM01 My side by side refrige and freezer has stopped cooling. The fans are still running in the fridge and freezer, but no cooling. What do you suggest? Thanks
1 Answer Frank, In most cases when the fans are running but the compressor is not then this would be a faulty relay on the compressor. The part number for the relay is WPW10194431. Read More...
Mike Isaname November 07, 2016 for Model Number Fridgidaire FFU21K2CW0 I manually defrosted the unit. Pluged it back in and after 4 hours it was down to 5*. I put the food back in, the next day it was still at 5*. But since then it keeps rising 3-5* a day until it reached 31*. When I first noticed that it was warming up I started increasing the thermostate, until it was maxed out. It did not make a difference. I removed the food and started checking things out. I turned the unit back on, with the same results. After 2 days it just keeps warming up! What is the problem?
1 Answer Mike, This issue sounds like you may have a restriction somewhere in the sealed system. This would be a floating restrictions and you would want to contact service to come check the unit. Read More...
Sudi October 26, 2016 for Model Number frt113dbhw The compressor starts for five 5 seconds then I hear a clicking sound and it shuts off the compressor. I have already changed the relay switch and the capacitor. Could it be the compressor is bad?
1 Answer Sudi, This would be a compressor that is faulty as it sounds like the run winding is bad in the compressor which is why it shuts off after 5 seconds. Read More...
Tim October 07, 2016 I purchased a capacitor from you all 3 months ago which fixed the Frigidaire that had stopped cooling and freezing. The refrigerator has stopped again after 3 months. I have purchased another capacitor from you but could there be another problem? The defrost switch works fine and had purchased one along with the first capacitor just in case.
1 Answer Hello Tim, The capacitor could have been defective so I recommend calling us with the units' model and serial number at 1-877-477-7278 so we can re-ship the part. If the new capacitor fails as quickly you should have a Freon certified technician come out to verify that the compressor is not going into failure. Read More...
