Mark January 16, 2017 for Model Number FFHS2622MSF My compressor starter started smoking and burned. It also caused my run capacitor to burn and 1 prong is now lose. If I buy the parts, I don't want the new parts to do this so what causes the starter to burn up? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Mark, If the compressor smoked and a prong is now loose, it 5304475098 will have to be replaced. A Freon certified technician should be contacted for this repair. Read More...
Lindell L. March 09, 2016 for Model Number frididare model#frs22zrgw3 My start device was burned and the wire terminals ends were burned off. Should I replace it or trash the refrigerator?
1 Answer Hello Lindell, The wires will burn off when there is a poor connection. I would replace the start device 218721101 and the terminals TJMA02875-1 on the harness. It should not require scrapping of the unit. Read More...
Joe December 07, 2015 for Model Number FRIGIDAIRE-MODEL-F44P21AT What is the problem of the Frigidaire stop working? Do they have a fuse I can replace?
1 Answer Hello Joe. There is no fuse. You will need to check for a bad cold control or the defrost timer is stuck. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Brenda February 23, 2015 for Model Number FRS20ZRG We hooked up a generator after being without power for 2 days. The generator is large yet to run the refrigerator. The refrigerator ran but not thinking my mom cleaned it out with the refrig running for 15 minutes or so. The refrigerator stopped working and won't turn back on. Do you know what might be causing this problem? It was running fine prior to the power outage and generator.
1 Answer Brenda, If the fans are working on the unit but just not cooling then the issue would most likely be caused by a faulty start relay on the compressor. If the fans are not running then the defrost timer may be sticking and would need a new timer. Read More...
Reeferrover April 11, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire FRT21NRGW2 After experiencing a strong burning odor, I removed the starter/overload assembly and found that the plastic was melted where the three compressor pins plug into the assembly. I removed the condensor (part number 216236200), which appears okay. But I don't see any way to remove the assembly from the two wires (one red, the other white) which power the assembly. Maybe the terminals have been melted beyond recognition. Can I just cut the wires next to the assembly body and, if so, will I be able to connect them to the new assembly?
1 Answer ReeferRover, If you use a small flatblade screwdriver and put down in the hole next to the wire on the slotted side, there is a push tab on the end of the wire to release it from the terminal. You can break the old housing as it is not being used to be able to get to it easier. This will allow you to push the wire onto the new relay. Read More...
Evanston February 07, 2012 for Model Number 218721100 Recently my refrigerator was down and it wasn't getting cold in either compartments and as a result the fridge started to get hot. I called a technician he came checked the fridge and he said the relay was burnt-out which he showed me. He also checked the gas as I had thought it was out but it wasn't. He then change the relay and put in one and then left so I waited for a while to see if it would get cold and it hasn't instead it's hot and I heard a click sound. So I plugged it out, Any sugguestion as to why this has happened?
