How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before opening any panels. If you are not comfortable working with electrical components, contact a technician.
Steps:
- Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another device. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
- Inspect power cord: Check the Frigidaire cord for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace if damaged.
- Check control lock: Some models have a child lock; hold the lock button (if present) for 3–5 seconds to unlock.
- Internal fuse: Remove the rear or top cover to access the main control board. Look for a small glass or ceramic fuse. If blown (broken filament or blackened), replace with the same rating.
- Board inspection: Check the main control board for burn marks or swollen components. If present, the board likely needs replacement.
- UI cable: Ensure the ribbon cable between the display/control panel and main board is firmly connected.
- Service: If the unit still shows no signs of life, the main control board or user interface board is likely defective and should be replaced by a professional.
