Frigidaire FAM157S1A Air Conditioner - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sounds like the contacts in a switch or relay are stuck together giving power all the time. Get someone with electrical training to check the power side of things.

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand that the thermostat is not cycling the compressor on and off on your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAM157S1A. Please check the temperature sensing element to see if it is touching a cold coil. This will be located behind the air filter. Straighten away from the coil if it is touching. The other possibility is the compressor shut-off by changing modes. Wait approximately 3 minutes and listen for compressor to restart when set in the COOL mode. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

sounds like it is either low on Freon or the compressor is going out. The blowing ice cold is an indicator that it may be freezing up because the low Freon. when it stops blowing cold, turn it to fan only mode and see if it gets colder again. If that is the case then the unit is low on freon and freezing up. I know that sounds confusing but that is how AC works. The low freon pressure means the gas is expanding too fast and the air flow cannot take up the cold from the evaporator fast enough. Turning the compressor off and keeping the fan on will alow the room air to take up the cold.

DRILLED INTO COOLANT LINE WILL NEED TO FIX AND RECHARGE

Hello, if the unit has a drain it may be blocked and not allowing the water to drain. If no drain is present then the unit uses the condenser fan blade to scoop up the condensate and splash the condenser. This is done for two reasons, to keep the condenser cool and to evaporate the condensate

Turn the unit OFF using the ON/OFF Switch and unplug it for 15 minutes. After the time has elapsed, plug the unit back in and turn the unit ON. With any luck, the electronics reset and reverted back to the original factory settings. You should know immediately, once the unit is turned ON. If they did, you can now set the controls as you like. If they didn't, the control panel will need to be replaced. Parts are available from Frigidaire or their authorized distributor.

Hope this helps and thanks for choosing FixYa.

get some tape and splice it back to gether. wire nuts would be best .. just make certain your connections are tight and well taped.

Check power at outlet.

A humming sound coming from your Frigidaire AC wall unit after it has been powered off could be due to a few different reasons. I can provide some potential explanations and troubleshooting steps to consider:

• FAN MOTOR
• THERMOSTATE DELAY
• ELECTRICAL ISSUE
• REFRIGERANT FLOW
• OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES

EPTWFU01 is the water filter part number. It isn't the model number of the refrigerator. Please check the model number. Often the model number is on the back of the refrigerator. Not all models support changing the temperature units. If your refrigerator has a button labeled C/F. Try pressing that to toggle back to Fahrenheit. On another model, FG4H2272UF, press and hold the + and - keypads on the refrigerator side of the control panel for 5+ seconds. One Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator is the GLHS36EJSB. The support page is https://support.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support/GLHS36EJSB . The current link to the manual for this model is https://na2.electroluxmedia.com/Original/Electrolux/Electrolux%20Assets/Document/Complete%20Owners%20Guide/English/241856000en.pdf . This model doesn't allow the units to be changed. The documentation for FG4H2272UF is available here: https://support.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support/FG4H2272UF . See the page 15 of the manual, https://na2.electroluxmedia.com/Original/Electrolux/Electrolux%20Assets/Document/Complete%20Owners%20Guide/English/A10883135en.pdf , for the information above. I hope this helps. Please add a comment with your refrigerator's actual model number for specific directions for toggling between degrees C and degrees F. Cindy Wells

This is likely due to a lack of airflow. Make sure that the air filter is clean and that there are no obstructions blocking the air intake or exhaust vents. If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to have a technician come out and inspect the unit for any other potential issues.

Not 100%certain to what styrofoam you are referring to but there is definitely styrofoam components inside the machine. The entire drain pan is made of styrofoam, I would not touch it.

Have you drained the water?

The blower wheel probably is dirty. The unit is sensing that not enough air is flowing across the AC coil.

Mine is doing the same but it's very moldy and dirty. It worked well when we used it for the first month when we moved into our Gma's house. She left the unit. It's old yes but it worked fine before. Why is this happening? I'm going to clean it, but I have NO IDEA HOW TO GET IT OUT OF ITS CASE! HELP

did you clean it with water? They don't mix. Use a hairdryer to dry thoroughly.

if fan require an effort to turn it is bad should spin freely

Here are some videos, but it looks by doing a search on that model, that you can't change it. Having said that, the manual shows both, but perhaps that is for display. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1581184/Frigidaire-Fg4h2272uf.html?page=13#manual Videos https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+FGH2272UF+change+from+centigrade+to+fahrenheit This search forces your model to be featured https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+%22FGH2272UF%22+change+from+centigrade+to+fahrenheit It doesn't appear to be in the manual. Centigrade is much easier. Fridge at 3'C and Freezer at minus 18'C. Freezing is 0' and boiling is 100'. You can hang an American thermometer inside. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1581184/Frigidaire-Fg4h2272uf.html .. ..

Is this an electric unit or does it run on fuel?
