Hi Folks.
I have a Frigidare FRE196A fridge freezer that is not cooling/ freezing any more…
I have power, the light goes on, the temp control cuts the compressor when turned to 0.
Compressor(motor) runs. I can also hear trickling of fluid from the back of the machine, but not water!Any advice welcome.
JohnPS. Just checked the freezer section on this unit, and that IS cool/chilling!!??
Re: Frigidaire frige freezer FRE196A not cooling but running
Hi John,
It’s a simple machine so there’s only really the thermostat and the compressor to go wrong.
If the compressor runs for a bit then it just out, probably the compressor.
If the compressor either never runs when it’s set or runs all the time, probably the thermostat.
Obviously you cannot be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} remotely.
If it’s the stat, it’s this one:

Usually that stat is a lot cheaper, an awful lot, but they are out of stock and the only option is a more expensive source currently.
You can also use the VXO to replace it but that’s a bit of a faff to be honest.
Hope that helps.
