Your condenser fan probably is not running. It's underneath with the compressor. It should be running when the compressor runs. You can place a fan on the floor blowing on the condenser coils till you get it fixed. The fan should spin freely. Test the fan motor for continuity using a multitester. Set the multitester to the ohms setting X10. Place a probe on each terminal. The multitester should display a reading approximately mid-way between infinity and zero ohms. If the motor does not pass this test, it should be replaced. You don't need to test the middle one if you have one.

Putting a fan on the floor is working! Will have to get a multitester to check the rest--guess Lowe's will have one in the electrical dept? Thanks!

Few weeks ago my fridge stopped cooling. We have since replaced but I want to keep as a spare for storing "beverages". At the very end, near decision time, I noticed that the outer surface between the fridge and freezer was very hot to the touch, almost painfully hot. That is where the control section is located inside the fridge portion. Any ideas and repair suggestions?

Hello, I have a new Frigidaire refrigerator, not sure of the model, but it is not a top of the line one. It makes ice cubes, but they get stuck together really easily and I can hardly get them separated. The refirgerator is in a cabin located at the top of a big hill and we don't have a lot of water pressure. What do I need to do to make it work properly? Thanks! Nancy

we just got new fridge and the delivery company said it was ok to plug in immediately after it was installed two days later it started making a buzzin noise and quit shortly after. we were told that the problem may just be that we need to let it sit unplugged for a few hours is this true?
