A Frigidaire refrigerator in Canal Fulton developed a loud humming noise after the ice maker in the door stopped working. Our diagnosis revealed a failed air handler fan that required bypassing initially, then full replacement with an air handler kit.
The Problem
The customer reported that their ice maker in door stopped working, which they could live with. However, the refrigerator then began making a loud “humming” noise on and off, prompting the service call.
Diagnosis
The refrigerator required an air handler kit to repair the underlying issue. We bypassed the ice maker air handler fan during the initial visit to stop the noise while the customer decided whether to proceed with the full repair.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 5303918784 — Air Handler Housing
- Work performed: Installed air handler kit and replaced water filter with customer supplied filter
- Result: Ice maker and refrigerator returned to normal operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Frigidaire refrigerators are generally well-built appliances, and this model justifies repair when the ice maker system fails. Air handler issues are common but repairable problems that restore full functionality to both cooling and ice production.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators
- Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain ice maker performance and prevent clogs in the air handler system
- Keep door seals clean and check for proper closure — poor sealing forces the cooling system to work harder
- Clean the condenser coils annually, typically located behind or beneath the unit
