Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – CANTON, OH (GRSS2652AFJ)

A Canton homeowner called about their Frigidaire refrigerator experiencing reversed temperatures — the freezer side was refrigerating instead of freezing while the fridge side was freezing. When we arrived, the freezer was operating normally, but the fresh food section was running at 50°.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator had freezer side refrigerating instead of freezing, fridge side freezing, and the ice maker was out. This temperature reversal indicates an airflow or fan issue preventing proper cold air distribution between compartments.

Diagnosis

I disassembled the unit and found the freezer fan was not running. When I removed it to test, it took off spinning. The fan motor itself was functional, suggesting a connection or control issue rather than motor failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts replaced
• Work performed: Disassembled unit, tested freezer fan, confirmed fan operation and damper function
• Result: Fan is running, damper is open and fresh food, cold air movement to fresh food confirmed. Unit should resume normal cooling.

Is It Worth Repairing?

Frigidaire refrigerators are generally reliable mid-range appliances. When airflow issues like this can be resolved without parts replacement, it’s definitely worth the service call. This GRSS2652AFJ appears to be in good working condition aside from the fan connection issue.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Keep the condenser coils clean — Frigidaire models benefit from quarterly coil cleaning to prevent overheating
• Check door seals regularly for proper sealing to maintain temperature zones
• Replace water filters every 6 months to keep ice maker functioning properly
