Frigidaire refrigerator troubleshooting

Frigidaire is an American brand of household appliances for the kitchen and home, which is part of the groupe Electrolux. The company Frigidaire was founded in 1918, the year when General Motors automobile Corporation acquired a small company Guardian Frigerator Company dedicated to the development and manufacture of refrigerators. The work on upgrading of refrigerators never stops. In the 1979, Frigidaire became part of the American company White Consolidated Indastries, which in the 1986 was swallowed by Electrolux Corporation. Below is a table of Frigidaire refrigerator troubleshooting system.

Problem	Cause	Solutions
Ice maker is not making any ice.	• Ice maker is turned off.	• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press and hold the "Ice Off" button for three seconds until the indicator light is off. For the freezer ice maker, lower the wire signal arm.
	• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open.	• Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open.
	• The water supply line is kinked.	• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
	• The water filter is not seated properly.	• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
	• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.	• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
	• Freezer ice maker wire signal arm is being held up by an item not allowing it to go in the on or down position.	• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the on or down position.
Ice maker is not making enough ice.	• Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect.	• The fresh food and freezer ice makers will each produce approximately 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
	• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.	• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
	• The water supply line is kinked.	• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
	• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material.	• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.
	• Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively.	• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker only.)
	• Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker).	• Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
	• Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).	• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cuton pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).

The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.	• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs check for a Saddle Valve, water valve not turned on all the way or kinked water supply line.

Ice dispenser is jammed.	• Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages.	• Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate.
	• Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.	• Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.
Dispenser will not dispense water.	• Dispenser lock out is engaged.	• Press and hold control lock for three seconds.
	• Water filter not seated properly.	• Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
	• Water filter is clogged.	• Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to remove protective caps and push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
	• Household water line valve is not open.	• Open household water line valve.
Water has an odd taste and/or odor.	• Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.	• Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply.
	• Unit not properly connected to cold water line.	• Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet.
Water not cold enough.	• As warmer tap water goes through the filter and enters the water tank, chilled water is pushed through to the dispenser. Once chilled water is used up, it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature.	• Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
Door(s) will not close.	• Door was closed too hard, causing other door to open slightly.	• Close both doors gently.
	• Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor when moved slightly.	• Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
	• Refrigerator is touching a wall or cabinet	• Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.

PROBLEM	CAUSE	CORRECTION
APPLIANCE OPERATION
Appliance does not run.	• Appliance is plugged into a circuit that has a ground fault interrupt.	• Use another circuit. If you are unsure about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician.
	• Temperature Control is in the OFF position.
	• Appliance may not be plugged in or plug is loose.	• Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
