What to expect when you experience a Frigidaire freezer not working issue

How is the not working problem fixed?

However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a freezer that is not working

When the freezer is not working it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of freezer failures.

What to look out for with a freezer not working diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your freezer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Troubleshooting a Frigidaire Freezer Ice Maker Not Working

When you have a Frigidaire freezer ice maker not working, check for ice cubes jammed in the ejection arms of the ice maker. Clearing jammed ice cubes may fix the problem so the ice maker resume normal production.

If you notice that the ice mold is empty, check the ice maker to see if it fills properly by manually fill the ice mold with water using a squirt bottle or turkey baster. If the ice maker ejects the ice cubes formed after manually filling the ice mold but doesn’t automatically refill the ice mold to continue producing ice, then check the water supply going to the freezer. Make sure that the water supply cut-off valve is fully open. Open that valve if you find it shut.

You can check the water supply by shutting off the cut-off valve and disconnecting the water line connected to the back of the freezer. Hold the end of the water supply line over a bucket and briefly open the cut-off valve. If water doesn’t flow from the end of the water supply line, have a plumber restore the water supply going to the freezer.

If the water supply is okay, a bad water valve, defective ice maker or faulty electronic control board could be preventing the ice maker from working. Schedule freezer repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and fix the ice maker.
