How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before cleaning or removing panels.
Steps:
- Check installation clearance: Ensure there is adequate space around the cooler (typically at least 2–3 inches at the back and sides) for ventilation.
- Clean condenser: Remove the rear grille if present and vacuum dust and lint from the condenser coils. Use a soft brush to avoid bending fins.
- Verify condenser fan: With the unit plugged in and running, confirm that the fan near the compressor is spinning. If not, unplug and inspect for obstructions or a seized motor.
- Replace fan motor if needed: Install a Frigidaire condenser fan motor assembly if the motor is not running with proper voltage.
- Re-test cooling: After cleaning and repairs, allow 12–24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
