I have frigidaire refrigerator model FRT16CRH it is not cooling?

Question

pls advise

Answer 1

First, check that it's getting power. Does the light come on if you open the door? Can you hear the motor humming? If not, check the fuse.

If the motor is working it may have an airlock in it. Has it been moved recently? If so, switch it off and leave for at least 12 hours for the refrigerant to drain into the pump, try it again. You need to leave it running for several hours before you notice a temperature change.

If this doesn't work, empty it out and get a large friend to help you turn it upside-down. Turn it back the right way up again and try it, I've seen this trick work.

Answer 4

Lucky make sure circuit breaker has not tripped. Is light inside coming on.  Try changing set point of thermostat.  Your defrost heater may be stuck on defrost position.  Defrost heater is controlled by  small black plastic switch about 1" x 2"  located on bottom back of fridge, that you can turn manual with flat blade s***w driver to advance.  UNPLUG fridge and advance switch.  I have posted web site link below that has picture.  

Good Luck
