Frigidaire refrig not working but light is on?

Question

brand new refrigerator , light comes on but no compressor or fan working any clues?

Answer 1

Make sure the cold control setting in the fridge has been set correctly. If it was a floor model, they usually turn the cold control off while it is on the showroom floor so it doesn't use much electricity.

Answer 2

Assuming that you have in fact turned the refrigerator on, it sounds like there is a problem with the compressor. I would ask for another refrigerator. Most states have lemon laws, and if your fridge is bad out of the box, they should replace it, not just fix it.

Answer 3

The cold control is the problem or the defrost timer is stuck in defrost. I use to give the cold controls a hard smack and they might start if it does start you still need to change it. The defrost timer can be ant where in the box you need to turn the k**b. New box call for help!

Answer 4

Make sure controlls are set right then check to see that conections are ok at back of fridge near compressor.Good luck.

Answer 5

Before you call the store where you bought it double check at the bottom,behind it for an eight pin connector or other plug .A plug that is a part of the refrigerator.Hope that's it.

Answer 6

might also be the coils are broken even tho its new

good luck

Answer 7

You are still under warranty....Give the store a call where you bought the piece of $hit !!!!
