Frigidaire Upright freezer Repair – North Canton, OH (FFT43251-0B)

A North Canton customer called when their Frigidaire upright freezer stopped running. The unit would try to come on and click, but wouldn’t start. By the time we arrived, the freezer was cooling again and running normally.

The Problem

The customer discovered their freezer had stopped running. When it tried to come on, it would click but wouldn’t start properly.

Diagnosis

The freezer was cooling again at the time of our appointment. We tested the compressor amp draw, which appeared normal at right around one amp. This intermittent starting issue typically points to a failing starter relay and overload.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Diagnostic testing of compressor and electrical components
• Result: Unit running normally at time of service, but replacement recommended for future reliability

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this Frigidaire model, the necessary starter relay and overload parts are no longer available. When an upright freezer has intermittent starting issues and replacement parts aren’t available, replacement becomes the most practical option to avoid repeated service calls.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Upright Freezers

• Keep the condenser coils clean — Frigidaire upright models collect dust on the back coils that reduces efficiency
• Check door seals regularly for proper closure and replace if cracked or torn
• Defrost manually if ice buildup exceeds 1/4 inch to maintain proper airflow
