If you have a frigidaire freezer that is experiencing this problem consult your instruction manual to find out where the fan system is in your freezer. My frigidaire side by side refrigerator freezer is not working properly. If the evaporator fan motor is not working the freezer will not cool. Defrost the freezer if it s clogged with ice.

I opened inside rear of freezer and found top 4 or so of coils frozen with ice. To check the evaporator fan motor open the freezer door and then manually activate the freezer door switch. To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand. The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.

If your side by side refrigerator isn t as cool as it should be and frost is forming in the freezer a failed defrost sensor could be to blame. If the refrigerator doors are opened too frequently or too long allows warm air to enter the product and therefore causes it to run more often. With the freezer unplugged locate the motor underneath the freezer and clean it. While it may seem strange having only the top half of your freezer not freezing is a common refrigerator problem.

Freezer is cool on bottom as is fridge but neither is effective. If you notice water pooling on the floor when the freezer is running. On most refrigerators the fan motor will not run when the door is open.
