How to Fix a Frigidaire Refrigerator Not Cooling

When a Frigidaire refrigerator isn't cooling, there are several common issues to check before ordering Frigidaire refrigerator replacement parts. Diagnosing these problems early can help restore proper cooling and keep your food safe.

• Check for power. Open the refrigerator door and see if the interior light turns on. If not, make sure the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is working. Test the outlet by plugging in another appliance, like a lamp.
• Inspect airflow. Make sure containers aren't blocking air vents inside the refrigerator. Clear any obstructions to allow cold air to circulate freely.
• Look for frost buildup. Excessive frost on the evaporator coils can prevent proper cooling. If frost is present, troubleshoot the automatic defrost system and consider replacing components like the defrost heater or defrost bi-metal thermostat.

How to Fix a Frigidaire Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working

A Frigidaire refrigerator ice maker not working can be frustrating, but checking a few components might quickly solve the issue. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure proper water supply. Check that the water line is connected and the supply valve is open. Low water pressure can also prevent ice production.
• Examine the ice maker assembly. Make sure the ice maker switch is on. If the assembly itself is faulty, replace it.
• Inspect the water inlet valve. If the valve fails, it won't provide water to the ice maker. Learn how to replace a refrigerator water valve if it's defective.

Common Parts That Can Fail in Your Frigidaire Refrigerator

• Condenser fan. The condenser fan, located near the compressor, moves air across the condenser coils to cool the refrigerant.
• Defrost bi-metal thermostat. This safety device turns off the defrost heater if it overheats, protecting the evaporator.
• Electronic control board. This board manages key components, sending power to the compressor and monitoring temperatures to control the cooling and defrost cycles.
