Quick answer: The most common Frigidaire refrigerator repairs are ice makers that stop working, fresh-food sections that warm up because of a failed evaporator fan or defrost component, water inlet valve leaks, and temperature control faults. Frigidaire parts are widely available and reasonably priced, so most repairs are worth doing on a fridge under about 10 years old.

About Frigidaire refrigerators

Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux and sells a wide range of top-freezer, side-by-side, French-door and Gallery and Professional models. Many Frigidaire refrigerators are value-priced, which makes them common in rentals and first homes, and their parts are easy to source — good news when something breaks.

Common Frigidaire refrigerator problems

  • Ice maker not working. Clogged filters, frozen fill tubes, failing inlet valves and worn ice maker assemblies. See ice maker repair.
  • Fresh-food section warm. Evaporator fan or defrost failures blocking cold air from the freezer. See refrigerator not cooling.
  • Frost buildup in the freezer. Defrost heater, thermostat or control problems. See freezer repair.
  • Leaks. Inlet valve, water line or defrost drain problems. See leaking water.
  • Temperature control faults. Thermistors and electronic controls that misread temperatures.

Quick checks before you call

  1. Check the temperature settings and make sure the vents aren’t blocked.
  2. Vacuum the condenser coils at the bottom or back of the fridge.
  3. Replace the water filter if it’s overdue.
  4. Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer when the compressor is running.
  5. Write down the model number from the label inside the fresh-food section.

Frigidaire repair or replace?

Frigidaire repairs are typically affordable, and most fan, defrost, valve and ice maker repairs make sense on a fridge less than about 10 years old. On an older, lower-priced model with a compressor failure, replacement is usually better value.
