Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair (Model FGHS2644KF0) – Bolivar, OH

A Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator in Bolivar was displaying a persistent SY CE error code, leaving the homeowner without proper food preservation. Our diagnosis revealed dual control board failures requiring complete electronic system replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their Frigidaire FGHS2644KF0 was showing a SY CE error code that wouldn’t clear with normal reset procedures. The refrigerator had stopped maintaining proper temperatures in both compartments, putting stored food at risk.

Diagnosis

The SY CE error code on this Frigidaire model indicates a communication failure between the main control board and the user interface control board. Testing confirmed both boards had failed — the main control wasn’t responding to commands, and the UI board couldn’t properly communicate system status. This dual failure is uncommon but requires replacing both components to restore full functionality.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5303918514 main control board, 241973711 UI control board, terminal connections
• Work performed: Removed failed control boards, installed new components, reconnected all wire harnesses and terminals
• Result: Error code cleared, temperature control restored, all functions tested and verified working

Is It Worth Repairing?

This FGHS2644KF0 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire model that typically runs 12-15 years with proper care. Control board failures, while frustrating, don’t indicate broader mechanical problems with the compressor or sealed system. At roughly 8-10 years old, this repair should provide several more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Side-by-Side Refrigerators

• Keep the condenser coils clean — Frigidaire models with bottom-mount coils collect dust quickly, causing control boards to overheat
• Don’t ignore intermittent error codes — SY CE often appears briefly before becoming permanent, catching it early can prevent dual board failure
• Check door seals annually — poor seals make the control system work harder, shortening board life on these models
