We have a frigidaire sxs model that looks like the gallery models. We are just past our one year warranty and it was working earlier today, but tonight the water dispenser will no longer dispense water, and the freezer and refrigerator are warming up. It seems strange that both problems would happen at the same time. All lights still work, and you can hear something running, but I cannot be certain if it is the compressor or the fan. I think it is only the fan though. So I would assume our compressor may be out, but then why isn't the water working?

okay, most likely, your problem is your fan motor, its making your evaporator becoming a block of ice freezing your water lines but its not circulating the cold air through your refrigerator. remove the panel from inside the freezer and see if it has become a big white block of ice and the fan motor is turning. some fan motors will not work with the door open so you must manually press the light switch and see if the fan is blowing air. if fan blades are not turning, replace the fan motor. but if it is blowing air and there's a big block of ice, unplug your fridge and let it thaw out. if after melting your fridge is running again, there's something wrong with your defrost system. that means check and replace your defrost heating element, defrost thermostat and or defrost timer. i hope that helps with your problem. good luck!

Any advice greatly appreciated. Kenmore SxS 596.52673200; 10835442CE; 7 years old. Stopped cooling, but I have power. The lights turn off when doors are closed, there seems no problems with the seals and the problem happened sudden as opposed to gradually. The fan inside the freezer is working and I can feel slightly cool air. The coils inside the freezer are clean with no frost. The coils under the refrigerator are 95% or more clean of dust. The fan next to the compressor behind the fridge is running and the compressor appears to be running. I cannot tell if I hear the compressor due to the fan, but it is quite warm to the touch. The fridge is constantly trying to cool. I quickly pressed the freezer door light switch to try to force it into defrost mode; the fridge will turn off for only a second and then it starts trying to cool again. THANKS!! I am living out of an ice chest and I am hoping I do not have to finance another beast.

Can't make ice. Water flows ok from water dispenser but it doesn't appear to be getting to the icemaker. I have used a hir dryer to warm the flow tube but that did not solve the problem. The motor works and the worm gear turns properly...just no water getting to where it needs to be.
