Ruthie February 12, 2018 I have a Frigidaire side by side with ice maker and water dispenser. This fridge was given to me and someone has removed the sticker with the make, model and serial number. You can see where it was. Is there another place where this can be located? I need to replace the temperature control due to food freezing on the fridge side. Also, is the temperature control device located in the housing where the knobs are at?
1 Answer Ruthie, Yes the temp control will be located behind the control knob of the housing. Read More...
Chote Lal December 18, 2017 for Model Number FRS26R4AW7 My freezer side is freezing food and vegetables. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Chote, Presumably, you mean the refrigerator is freezing the food and vegetables. First check and make sure both doors are closing and sealing, and the controls for the freezer and refrigerator are set at the mid range setting on the control panel. Check and make sure there are no large bulky items on the left side of the top shelf, that can direct the cold air down the back of the refrigerator and cause the crispers to freeze. Check all the shelves, make sure there aren't any articles hanging over the edges of the shelves or laying against the back or side walls. Then check the damper in the top left rear corner of the refrigerator. If the damper is stuck open, the refrigerator will get too cold and freeze the articles. Read More...
Rick March 28, 2016 for Model Number FPCE19TRW0 Fresh food section is freezing food even with temperature control set at lowest point.
Keith April 16, 2015 for Model Number 2539668010 The freezer and the cold compartment both freeze solid as a rock. We have moved everything away from the fans and passages. We have also set and re-set the thermostats to any thing you can imagine. still solid as a rock. The compressor will turn on and off if you rotate the cool side thermostat. thanks,
1 Answer Keith, With this unit, the only thing that could cause the unit to get too cold both sections would be a faulty thermostat part number 5303305486. Read More...
James H November 15, 2014 for Model Number FPE19TF Refrigerator freezes in freezer and cools in refrigerator, but runs constantly. Requires manually turning the cold control dial to OFF to shut off. I suspect the cold control has gone haywire. What is your diagnosis? Thanks, JH
1 Answer James, You will want to check the door seals to make sure that the unit is getting a good door seal all the way around. In most cases this would be the issue if the temperatures are correct. If this checks ok then the thermostat would be the issue. Read More...
Bob October 05, 2014 for Model Number FPES18TLL2 My frigidaire refrigerator run time is extremely long it will run for 15-20 min, shut off for as little as 30 sec and come back on. Tapping lightly on the thermostat control at the top of the refrigerator compartment turns the unit off occasionally. When it has run for a long time and come right back on. Setting the control at 5 the temp in frig. is 32 degrees. I think the cold control is bad. What is your thought? Thanks Bob
1 Answer Bob, Based on the description of the issue, it would most likely be the cold control that has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Bill November 03, 2013 for Model Number FPES-19TF The fridge worked one day and the next day its tripping the fuse box. Is there any thing I can check for trouble shooting this problem? Thanks
1 Answer Bill, In a lot of cases the reason for the refrigerator to trip the breaker would be a high amp draw on the compressor. You will want to test the amp draw and if it is above 8-9 amps then you will want to check the relay to make sure that it is not bad. You can normally take it off and shake it and if it rattles then the relay is faulty but normally it is a compressor that is faulty. Read More...
Dick October 17, 2013 for Model Number FPES19TPLO Temp control is set on lowest setting and will freeze items in the refer unit. Seems like it will happen when unit is more full.
1 Answer Hello Dick. It sounds like the cold control 5303305486 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Mark October 01, 2013 for Model Number FRT21NRFW0 Freezer only gets down to 28 degrees, fridge to 45 degrees, and that's with both the freezer and fridge controls set to max, which didn't used to be the case. Replaced defrost timer and defrost thermostat last night. Same result. Defrost timer cycles just fine. No dust on the condenser. Freezer isn't frozen up so heater seems to work fine as well. No frost build up. Considering changing the temp controller, but don't want to pour good money after bad. Bought new around 2002. It just doesn't get cold enough. I live in So cal and the weather is very mild, around 70 degrees each day now so no temperature extremes. Thanks a million.
1 Answer Hello Mark. You need to make sure the coils are clean and the fan motors are good on the unit. If so, need a sealed system repair and will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Barry, You may want to check to see if there is frost build up on the back wall of the freezer compartment and see if the evaporator fan motor is blowing. Remove the rear wall of freezer compartment and look for impacted evaporator coils. If coils are impacted check the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If either component does not have continuity then that component would have to be replaced. If both check ok then you would want to replace the defrost timer or ADC, which ever one yours has. Also check to see if the evaporator motor is running. If not running then check to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the fan motor. If you are getting 120 vac to the fan motor but the fan is not turning then you need to replace the fan motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
