Frigidaire Side By Side Fridge And Freezer Not Cooling

The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.

Frigidaire side by side fridge and freezer not cooling.

To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand. If the evaporator fan is not working the freezer or refrigerator will not cool adequately. The thermostat sensor will be around the damper which you can easily take off. Tech put in new 3 n 1 relay yesterday and 24 hours later the freezer is not cold enough.

On most refrigerators the fan motor will not run when the door is open. Vents between freezer and refrigerator are clogged the vents between the freezer and refrigerating section permit the flow of cold air from the freezer across to the refrigerator. The evaporator fan motor draws air over the evaporator cooling coils and circulates it throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.

I opened inside rear of freezer and found top 4 or so of coils frozen with ice. To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand. The evaporator fan motor draws air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer. If the evaporator fan motor is not working the freezer will not cool.

If the evaporator coils are frosted over the airflow through the coils will be restricted causing the refrigerator not to cool. If the evaporator fan is not working it will not circulate the cold air to the refrigerator compartment. My frigidaire side by side refrigerator freezer is not working properly. Some refrigerators have more than one evaporator fan motor.

Check the evaporator coils to determine if they are frosted over. To check the evaporator fan motor open the freezer door and then manually activate the freezer door switch. If the fan blade does not turn freely replace the fan motor. These vents should never get clogged with ice but if for some reason it does the impaired air circulation will keep the refrigerator section from cooling down.

On refrigerators with only one evaporator the evaporator is located in the freezer compartment. Remove the air damper removing any screws holding the conduit cover or damper cover into place pulling the covers off as well. If the evaporator fan is not working the freezer or refrigerator will not cool adequately. Freezer is cool on bottom as is fridge but neither is effective.

If this occurs the freezer may still get cold while the refrigerator will not get cold. If your side by side refrigerator isn t as cool as it should be and frost is forming in the freezer a failed defrost sensor could be to blame.
