I really need help with this post to be able to fix it myself!!!
My side by side Frigidaire freezer stopped freezing, it just started clicking. I noticed that the fan in freezer is always on when the door is opened. I unplugged it for an hour and that didn’t help when I plugged back in, I need to figure out if it is the start device?
If the start device is out it wouldn’t start the compressor? Could the clicking be that it is trying to start the compressor, or would the compressor just be clicking cause it can’t come on? I really just need to get someones opinion that works on them to see if I am going in the right direction…
This isn’t as much of an issue, but if I am buying parts I might as well buy this part also, that is if it is just the start device, the issue is with the ice maker is, it only works when I open the door and pull the tray out, if I do that twice it fills up with water but won’t do anything automatically it seems I need to trigger it by pulling out the tray!! It is also stuck on crushed ice.
I have been reading posts to see if I can find an answer to all these problems, but if it won’t get cold the ice REALLY isn’t important… So from what I have read the ice issue could be a solenoid and if it is that will that also give me back cubes instead of crushed ice? Or whatever would make the ice maker automatic again.
I know with all the problems I just should replace it, My daughter bought this fridge new, so we know the age and it has been a great unit, if we go and buy a used one next week it could go out and we would be out money and another useless fridge… so because I am on a fixed income I have to
fix it myself if at all possible…
Any help would be highly appreciated
