A customer in Dalton called with a Frigidaire refrigerator that wasn’t keeping the main compartment cold. They’d previously thawed frozen coils, but the cooling problem returned. Our diagnosis revealed a system reset was needed, with a main power control board standing by as backup.
The Problem
The main compartment doesn’t stay cold. It happens before and we thawed it out because coils were frozen. Now it’s not getting cold.
Diagnosis
Checked systems and appeared ok. The refrigerator’s control systems needed a complete power reset to restore proper operation after the previous freezing issue.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 241996364 — BOARD-MAIN POWER (on standby)
- Work performed: Had customer flip breaker to reset and let it sit for a bit. Flipped breaker back on
- Result: Everything appears to be fine. Customer will call if problem shows up again
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Frigidaire side-by-side model is worth repairing, especially when the fix involves a simple system reset. Even if the control board replacement becomes necessary later, it’s a reasonable repair cost for a quality refrigerator that should provide several more years of reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators
- Check door seals monthly — Frigidaire models are sensitive to air leaks that can cause cooling issues
- Clean condenser coils every 6 months, especially important for side-by-side models like the FFHN series
- Avoid overloading — proper air circulation prevents the freezing issues this customer experienced
