My Frigidaire frost free commercial freezer was screeching louder than the wheels on my radio flyer red wagon when it was overloaded with 5 cent return for deposit coca cola bottles back in the 1960's Daniel G. • El Paso , TX • January 24, 2021
In short - I replaced the evaporator fan motor and the evaporator fan blade.
The Appliance Parts Pros website was extremely helpful to me. Here's how.
1. The site helped me identify that even though my Freezer says it's a Frigidaire, it's actually an Electrolux.
2. The site identified the potential screech causing parts. (I didn't take a chance, I bought all three) It was a worthwhile investment. My freezer is 20 years old so it deserved some help.
3. The site provided guidance videos (not...

Freezer would not start Thomas C. • Oxford , GA • October 03, 2014
Looked for obvious signs of mal-function, burned wires, etc. I found that the compressor controller(attached to the compressor) had an obvious burned-out spot. Took a chance that was the problem (it was); ordered all new OEM parts, including a new timer and run capacitor (a part that kicks in every time the compressor starts). I received the parts at 1 PM EST; by 1:48 PM I had the freezer working. Easily saved $250.00. A nice aside was that an Internet competitor was asking $53.00 for the same...

Fridge was getting warm and not coolimg Regina L. • Spring , TX • July 01, 2017
I had a friend and a repair guy tell me it was the start relay that needed to be replaced, which was an easy fix. My friend said just to unplug the start relay, replace it with the new one, and it should be good. I've never tried to repair a fridge, and that was the easiest repair ever. Saved us hundreds of dollars!

Controller and capacitor that start the compressor in our freezer failed and burned causing burning plastic smell. M. H. • Madison , MS • December 08, 2020
An appliance repairman came to diagnose the issue causing the burning smell and the reason the 17- year old Frigidaire freezer was not cooling. He plugged the freezer back in and it immediately flamed up revealing the failed power overload controller. He tested the controller and the attached capacitor and found they had both failed. He quoted $556 to replace the failed parts to resolve the issue. We initially decided the replace the whole freezer given its age, but due to the China virus,...
