Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – Dellroy, OH (Fftr1821qw)

A Frigidaire refrigerator in Dellroy, OH wasn’t keeping food cold while the freezer worked fine. The customer had already cleaned vents and unplugged the unit with no improvement. We diagnosed a failed control box assembly that left the condenser fan without power.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator was warm while the freezer works fine. They had already cleaned vents and unplugged it with no results. Since this was a rental property, getting it repaired quickly was important to them.

Diagnosis

During our initial inspection, we found no power to condenser fan. Without the condenser fan running, the refrigerator section cannot maintain proper cooling temperatures while the freezer may continue working temporarily. The control box assembly had failed and needed replacement.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5304507171 — Control box assembly
• Work performed: Installed control box assembly
• Result: Unit appears to be operating correctly, with 24 hours needed before expecting normal temperature

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire FFTR1821QW is a basic top-freezer model that’s generally reliable and cost-effective to repair. Control box failures are common on these units, and replacing this component typically provides years of additional service life. For a rental property especially, this repair makes financial sense.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean underneath or behind the unit — dirty coils force the control system to work harder
• Check door seals regularly on Frigidaire models, as poor seals can overwork the cooling system
• Avoid overloading the refrigerator section, which can block airflow and strain the compressor controls
