Where the temp is displayed on the electronic panel blinks randomly and then goes dark. My wife said it displayed -1 for a while. now just dark. Thoughts?

Kenneth January 08, 2018 for Model Number LFFH21F7HWA I replaced the control panel that was on the door. After 10 hrs. the compressor is still running . The temperature control is set on 10 degrees. Before I replaced the panel on the door the compressor did not run continuously.
1 Answer Kenneth, It's going to take some time for a 21 cu.ft. freezer to cool down to 10 dgrs.F and equalize the temperature. Are you sure you have the control set for Fahrenheit and not Celsius ? The door is closed and sealed and the interior light is going out ? Depending on how long the freezer was inoperative and warm, will determine the time it takes to cool down and equalize the temp. You may need to wait 24 to 48 hours, depending on load size, etc. Read More...
Jacob December 30, 2017 for Model Number LFFH17F7HWH My frigidaire freezer quit working yesterday, the alarm is going off and the control panel says power loss. The inside light is flickering and so is the control panel sometimes. I unplugged it a plugged it back it but still did not help. The compressor will kick on for a second or two every once in awhile but then it just shuts back off right away. Please let me know what you think my problem might be. Thanks
1 Answer Jacob, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty control board on the unit. Read More...
Rose Marie Harding December 10, 2017 for Model Number LFFH21F7HWE We had a power outage, when the power came on, the control panel read 8c, we could not get it to start and the interior light is not on. Please help!
1 Answer Rose Marie, All the power to the freezer components is routed through the 297235200 Electronic Control Assembly(including the interior light). If you're sure you have checked and reset the control for normal operation, then you will need to replace the control. The 8C isn't an error code for this model, check to make sure the control isn't set for a Celcius temp. display Read More...
Bob December 03, 2017 for Model Number FKFH21F7HWA I replaced the control panel assy, and now the unit runs constantly. It shows 0 degrees and everything is frozen. I unplugged it for several minutes in an effort to reset it, but when I plugged it back in it started running again and hasn't stopped. The ambient temp in the area it is, is 50 to 65 degrees.. What could be the problem ??
1 Answer Hello Bob. If the temp is correct, then the unit is fine. If it is running, it is to maintain the temp inside the unit. If it were too cold, then you could have a sensor error. But being the correct temperature, it sounds like the unit is fine. Thank you. Read More...
Hc Giles November 13, 2017 for Model Number Frigidaire FFU14F7HW Freezer The freezer will begin chirping with the temperature light blinking. The compressor then short cycles with the light. We can un-plug the freezer and within 3 or 4 tries, it will run normally until we open the door or try to make a temp adjustment. After reading this site, I ordered the door controller. It was a brand new part. Following the instructions here, it was no problem to snap it out and reinstall it. However, there is no change in the above problem. Could you assist me?
1 Answer HC Giles, You will want to check to see if the thermistor on the unit is good and check the fan motor to make sure that it is good. Read More...
