A North Canton customer called about their Frigidaire refrigerator that had power but wasn’t cooling in either the fridge or freezer compartments. After unplugging and resetting the refrigerator, it started operating correctly again.
The Problem
There is power to the fridge but it is not cooling. Both fridge and freezer are affected.
Diagnosis
After unplugging and resetting the refrigerator, it seems to be operating correctly. If it happens again, will need to replace the Control Board.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — reset resolved the issue
- Work performed: Unplugged and reset the refrigerator
- Result: Unit operating correctly after reset
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Frigidaire model responded well to a simple reset, which suggests the control board may have experienced a temporary glitch. If the cooling issue returns, a control board replacement would be a reasonable repair for a refrigerator of this age and quality level.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean — Frigidaire models collect dust on rear-mounted coils more quickly than bottom-mounted designs
- Check door seals regularly for proper closure to prevent temperature fluctuations that can stress the control system
- Avoid overloading shelves which can block air circulation and cause the compressor to work harder
