My frigidaire side by side model no FRS26LF7DS7 has suddenly stopped cooling. The fan still runs and I hear a click and the condensor comes on and stays on for a minute then a loud click and it shuts off again. I had never heard the click before when the refrigerator came on. Up until this morning it was cooling fine. I can tell the click is in the switch connected to the condensor motor.

- Thanks so much. That sounds exactly how my refrigerator is doing. Someone is supposed to come and look at it, but at least I have a place to start. Thanks again.

The compressor sounds like the start device went bad. When that happens there is the "click" during trying to start, but since it can't the compressor overheats in time and then the thermal overload opens to protect it from overheating. Take the back lower panel off the refer and see if the compressor is really hot to the touch. If you have a little white colored box on the left side of the compressor pull it off and shake it... if it rattles and debris falls out you know it's bad. There is a kit that replaces it and it's real easy to install yourself. If you have a compressor that has a little blue indian head symbol on it however... your compressor is toast. Once they overheat they're done. If you have any other brand name you should be OK with a simple start device change out.
We hear a buzzing sound (about every 30 seconds) like the icemaker when it calls for water. My ice cubes have been coming out very hollow on the inside suggesting it is not getting enough water. I turned the ice maker off and it still buzzes every 30 seconds. Last night (Saturday) I pulled it out and took the cardboard-like panel off the back to check the water supply. The supply hose from coming from the sink to the refridgerator unit has plenty of water pressure to it. So I figured I better have an expert come look at it Monday. I left the cardboard panel off. Today, the freezer is not cold and food is thawing out. What can I do?

icemaker worked sporadically -- but now, not at all. Approximately once a day, it makes some clicking noises - but no filling or ice-making. Filtered water dispenser works fine. Metal bar for turning icemaker off or on will not stay in the "On" position. It goes only to all the way "out" (or off) or straight down... which is not, as far as I can tell, a place it's supposed to go

where would I get an inline pressure regulator for my refrigerator. My refrigerator model #FRS23K5CQ2 started leaking out of my icemaker cartridge compartment into my front door shelf. one of the solutions said that if your water pressure is too high for the shut off valve in the icemaker. I noticed that the city was going around to all the houses and did something to our water lines and two days later my refrigerator was leaking so i think that I have the same problem. I stopped at Sears where I bought my appliance but they didn't have that part so I'm not sure where I can get it. I want to install in between the city pressure and the icemaker only. Thank-you, Jayne
My 1997 Frigidaire, Model # VFX262ZRF, Side by Side, stopped cooling and a wall of ice developed in the freezer even though the freezer is not freezing. I removed the accumlated dust from the air vents -- to no avail. Is it time to buy a new refrigerator?
fridge just not cooling, we had to tip the fridge back slightly to get it in the door when we moved & I saw a couple of drops of oil on the floor. Now fridge sounds ok, but when I put a temp gage inside that currently measured room temp (72 degrees), the next morning it reads 76 degrees inside fridge all night! Not good so I unplugged it until I can get help fixing it. It is a Fridgidaire side by side stainless, ice & water in the freezer door.
