Marshall March 02, 2020 for Model Number fRS26HF5AB5 The refrigerator side is getting warm. The freezer is freezing and cuts on and off. There’s a vent on the back left top side in the refrigerator side. When I pushed the vent open, there is cold air coming into the refrigerator side when the freezer is running? When I stop opening the vent there's nothing. I held the vent open and the temp on the refrigerator side got down to where it was freezing the water? Any suggestions on what parts I need to order?
1 Answer Marshall, the refrigerator temperature control 240383703 will need to be tested for continuity (with the refrigerator unplugged) from the black wired terminal to the purple wire with the white stripe. If there is not continuity, then the cold control has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Edward C July 01, 2017 for Model Number FRS6LC8FS0 My refrigerator does not freeze water only gets cool. Thermostat says -6 for the freezer and 33 for the frig yet nothing is frozen. After a while both temp start increasing to freezer at 43 and frig at 58, please help.
1 Answer Edward, You will want to check the evaporator coils in the freezer to make sure that the coils have a full even frost pattern. If the coils are completely impacted with ice then this would be a defrost issue but if there is very little frost or an ice ball where the lines come into the unit then this would be a sealed system issue and would need to have a service tech to check the unit.

Edward June 28, 2017 for Model Number FRS6LC8FS0 A tech replace my compressor and created a leak through the valve stem another tech added freon then my refrigerator would operate for a while going down to -6 degrees then it goes up to 50 degrees the freezer does not freeze only gets cool
1 Answer Edward, It sounds like you have a refrigerant leak and will need to have the servicer to repair the leak. Read More...
Russ January 08, 2017 for Model Number FRS23KF7AW7 At first, my water line froze, then noticed several things in fridge side were frozen. Started turning down both controls until both were below 1. That worked well for about a week, then noticed everything in freezer was thawed. Compressor kept trying to cycle on every couple minutes, but would run 10 secs then shut down. Fan works, but runs constantly. Checked ohms on compressor, 3--4--7. Amps .02 both red & blue. Can you help me on which parts I need to order?
1 Answer Russ, This issue sounds like the compressor is short cycling which would most likely be caused by a faulty thermostat. Since both sections started off getting too cold then the freezer thermostat would be the likely cause. This thermostat is not available as a separate part and would want to get the control box kit part number 5304482075. Read More...
Darci September 25, 2016 for Model Number FRS26KW3AW6 My freezer works fine and must defrost perfectly because I have never had a problem with that. The problem is that the damper never closes and is freezing stuff in the fridge. I changed out the damper and it was closed when I put it in then, turned the fresh food control and it opened and will not close. I had a service repair person look at it and they put in a new fresh food control but after a short time the problem is still there. Also the thermostat wire to the freezer seems extremely long.
1 Answer Darci, The manufacturer came out with a kit for this because just replacing the damper and the thermostat would not correct the issue with the unit. The part number that you will need is 5304482075. Read More...
Scott February 19, 2016 What is the difference between frigidare part number 240383703 ($208 thermostat) and 241586503 ($79 thermostat) and can I sub in the lower cost one? The lower cost one is on a different model number (sorry... dont have that model number but, the refigerators are just about identical... thanks !
1 Answer Scott, Unfortunately we do not have information on the differences of the thermostats but the most likely difference would be in the way that they mount and if the tubing is long enough. It would only be recommended to install the part that is designed for your unit. Read More...
Pete December 21, 2015 for Model Number FRS26R4AW7 Our unit is located in an unheated garage and works fine for nine months out of the year. In the winter, the freezer no longer keeps food frozen. Is there a way to place a small light for heat or a heat tape on the appropriate control so that it will operate in the cold garage? I realize this is an unusual request, but it works fine 9 months out of the year. Thanks you!
1 Answer Hello Pete. It sounds like the freezer thermostat may be bad on the unit. It should work fine in the cold and warm weather on this model. Read More...
Chuck H November 13, 2015 for Model Number 253.53679303 The Fridge box is not getting cold enough. Freezer side works great. I am considering replacing the gasket. Any thoughts or ideas
1 Answer Chuck, You will want to access the rear wall of the freezer and check the evaporator coil. You will be looking to see if the coils are impacted with ice and make sure that the fan motor is running. If the coils are impacted then check the defrost thermostat and defrost heater. If they do not have continuity then replace the one that is bad. If they are both good then replace the defrost control. Read More...
Thomas August 15, 2015 for Model Number PLHS268ZCB1 Refrigerator is freezing everything even after setting temperature on refrigerator to zero. Freezer working fine. Landlord replaced defrost thermostat in freezer, but did not fix problem. I told him I thought it was on the refrigerator side involving the control temperature switch. I tried taking apart so I can order part and repair, but appears I am missing a screw or 2, it appears to still be fastened at the water filtration compartment which is preventing me from being able to repair refrigerator.
1 Answer Hello Thomas, You will need to replace the control box kit 5304482075. This will correct the issue. Read More...
Iblashaun April 25, 2015 for Model Number FRS6LF7FS3 My freezer keeps freezing up. I have replaced defrost timer, checked continuity on heater its good. Bought new control board, my seals on door are good but doors are not aligned right because I took off to get in house. How can I get damper to do what its suppose to do, I would like to see it open and close even though I know it does is beginning thank you for your time
1 Answer Iblashaun, If the unit is not defrosting then you will want to check the defrost thermostat to ensure that the thermostat has continuity. If the unit is just getting too cold then the issue will most likely be with the freezer thermostat. The damper to check it just cycle the unit off and back on, this should allow the damper to open and close. Read More...
