We gathered here 10 most common problems with your refrigerator and our advice to avoid some of them. This useful information will help you to prevent breakdowns in the future.
It is not enough cold or not cold at all inside the freezer and refrigerator. This is one of the most common breakdowns and pretty often the problem is about freon leak or “died” refrigerator compressor. In this case it is necessary to eliminate the cause of leak and refill the system or to replace the compressor and refill the system. The other reasons of this problem can be: faulty evaporator or condenser fans, broken compressor start relay, temperature sensors, thermostat and control board. The heavily soiled condenser coil can also cause the breakdown. All mentioned above cases to be solved only with comprehensible and thorough diagnosis and require parts replacement.
This problem is also a part of most common ones. In 9 cases of 10 it is the completely frozen or ice-blocked evaporator. The root of the problem – failed defrost thermostat or evaporator fan. Also top 10 reasons include broken: defrost heater, air damper, defrost and temperature thermistor, defrost timer, electronic control board. In order to identify the source of fault it is necessary to perform diagnosis, defreeze the evaporator and replace the part.
Usually the faulty thermostat or temperature sensor cause this problem. Besides, the following breakdowns negatively influence the normal work: broken defrost timer, the electronic control board, heavily soiled condenser coils, not fully closed the door of the refrigerator and damaged door gasket. After diagnosis the part replacement will solve. Sometimes the second home refrigerator is placed in the garage. In our Florida hot weather conditions, the temperature in the garage can be at 100F point, so the difference in outside and inside refrigerator temperatures is too big. Therefore, your refrigerator requires more time to cool itself. In most cases it is not a breakdown but can cause the compressor damage or freon slow leak. Always bear in mind that the manufacturer insists on placing your refrigerator inside your house.
It is very often a noise of the evaporator fan blocked with ice. The reason is – defrost system malfunction and evaporator freeze-up. However, sometimes the Frigidaire refrigerators fan gets blocked due to water leak when filling the ice maker. Faulty components of the defrost system can be: defrost thermostat, defrost heater, defrost sensor, temperature sensor, defrost timer, electronic control board. The clog in the drainage system can also cause fan blockage. Besides mentioned above, the noise can be produced by engine bearings of evaporator fan or condenser, overheated compressor, broken water valve or air damper. The thorough diagnosis is mandatory to fix the noise because the longer malfunction continuous the more expensive repair it will require in the future.
The most common reason for that is torn door gasket or rust on the body of the refrigerator where door gasket contacts it. The warm air from the kitchen gets inside the refrigerator and results in formation of snow or drops of water inside. It is often also a manufacturer defect. The manufacturer during assembling of the refrigerator do not install the door gasket correctly and it might not fit securely. In this case it is necessary to find the gaps and repair with a hot hair drier or replace door gasket, otherwise it can cause evaporator freeze-up or blockage of evaporator or air damper and refrigerator inactivation.
Probably just a bulb replacement will solve but sometimes the problems is about the misfunctioning door switch. The door switch can be either mechanical or magnetic built-in the wall of the refrigerator. It also might be about the connector or worn out door wires. In very rare cases there can happen malfunctions of the electronic control board in Frigidaire refrigerators.
Breakdowns of water or cooling systems can cause water leak. The problems can revolve around various devices: frozen or clogged defrost drain, broken water tank, water inlet valve, water filter, drain pan, etc. The urgent diagnosis is a must. Water leak shall be repaired immediately because it can result in flooding the house and very expensive home renovation.
The most frequent reason is an old water filter. It shall be replaced at least once six months and if not then it gets clogged and no water through. The next top common reason is one or several misfunctioning water valves. Or it can be one or two broken nippels in water filter head, therefore water is blocked. And finally, water problems can be caused by defective dispenser control boards, dispenser switch or the door switch.
There are over 20 reasons for that. The most common are: defective ice machine unit or ice maker module. The ice maker usually also does not work if the freezer temperature is above 10F. Water problems are caused by misfunctions of: water inlet valve; low water pressure from the house, clogged water filter. Very rare the problem is about the door switch or icemaker door switch. The accurate diagnosis and repair are required to fix the refrigerator.
In Florida this breakdown is in TOP-10. No way to skip the diagnosis since a plenty of broken devices can case the mentioned above. Here are a few of them: dispenser control panel, dispenser switch, wire of the dispenser, solenoid of the dispenser, auger is broken or disconnected from the auger motor, engine of the dispenser door.
