Most common repairs needed to fix a Frigidaire refrigerator
Dispenser Replacement
When your Frigidaire refrigerator dispenser is not dispensing ice, a defective dispenser may be causing the problem. When you press a glass or container against the dispenser lever to get ice, a switch behind the lever should activate a relay that will send electrical current to the ice door actuator and auger motor. The ice door will open and the auger will push ice cubes out of the ice dispenser. When the dispenser is malfunctioning, the ice door won’t open and/or the auger motor won’t run. When your Frigidaire refrigerator is not dispensing ice, have a service technician visit your home and fix the failure.
Water Valve Replacement
When activated by the ice maker module, the solenoid coil on the water valve lifts the plunger inside the valve to allow water to flow through the water tubing and into the ice maker’s ice mold. If the valve solenoid coil is bad or the plunger is stuck in the shut position, water won’t flow through the valve. When water is not filling the ice mold of your Frigidaire refrigerator ice maker, have a service technician visit your home and fix the problem.
Dispenser Water Tubing Replacement
Ice maker water tubing can get clogged or pinched, preventing water flow to the ice mold during the ice maker harvest and refill cycle. A break in the water line will cause water to leak inside the refrigerator and often onto the floor beneath your fridge. When water is not filling the ice mold in the ice maker of your Frigidaire fridge, schedule refrigerator service to have a technician examine the ice maker water tubing and replace any damaged, pinched or cracked water lines.
