20 Most Recent Frigidaire 16.7 cu. ft. Upright Freezer GLFU1767F - Page 5 Questions & Answers

I'm assuming Fahrenheit... (USA?) If you can get down that cold... but not seize up completely in FROST your timer is MOST PROBABLY cycling correctly... What can cause a refrigerator to work very hard... generate heat yet still fight to cool (Impressive when you think about it)... I know this is going to sound crazy... but your INTERIOR LIGHT. Never-mind trouble shooting... just take the light out to see if the WARM case situation improves immediately... Else you need to give your coils a serious good cleaning All else fails comment me back

Running all the time means you either have to clear/clean your condenser... Check for good tight door seals... and make sure the doors/vents are not blocked by any contents... Free flowing cold dry air inside... sealed compartments is ideal. Dollar Pull test: Use the dollar bill pull test all round your doors... (brown paper sack is cleaner & nicer): You can take the paper... close the door on it.. Pulling it out you should feel mild but constant pressure around the full perimeter of each door (or drawer). If you do NOT feel it the door/drawer needs to be checked for gasket integrity... and the door may need to be adjusted. New door gaskets are not terribly expensive (but most issues are caused by spilled food, cleaning or door adjustments = easy). (FULLY covered in every owners manual I've read). Consider purchasing 2 TAYLOR BRAND refrigerator thermometer & turning the freezer to the ZERO Fahrenheit area and the refrigerator to 33 or 34 degrees above zero (32 degrees Fahrenheit... being frozen eggs & milk (too cold)). Else... comment me back... We can take this all the way into refrigerant level check if you find NOTHING ELSE WRONG ((HIGHLY IMPROBABLE... but do-able)). You gasket is showing as no longer available... at appliancepartspros.com... So be gentle!!! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/frigidaire-gasket-door-white-216522312-ap2113453.html (Frigidaire 216522312)

I would guess the control panel is failing, but due to the cost of the part have a technician come out and confirm that is the issue. You can also go to www.partsdirect.com and email the forum

Check along the back and sides of the freezer for any vent-like openings that are covered or blocked by packages. There may be a sensor that's not getting air flow as it should. Although most upright freezers are now frost free, there still can be ice buildup in critical areas such as the thermal sensor or the fan. Can you tell if the fan is running? Even if the compressor has failed, your frozen items will keep the temp down for several days. I suggest you move the frozen goods to a neighbor immediately. Meat or fish in particular quickly becomes unsafe to eat without at least refrigeration.

Here's a link to a manual Linda. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/user-manuals/FFU2064DW2-Frigidaire-Parts-Freezer-Parts-manual

Is it iced up.if so,then turn off and let thaw out.

It is on the back wall, about 2/3 of the way to the floor on the right hand side... Knob will look like this: Frigidaire Freezer Control Knob 216707200 You probably have food in front of it!

A bad door switch, or a defective control

That is usually a signal meaning the door switch is being sensed as open... Make sure the light goes off when you press the switch, if it does, buy a new control... OR remove the control and break the little round speaker off of the board to quiet that thing.

Make sure the unit is not plugged into a GFCI outlet...

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand your Frigidaire freezer runs for a short time and then kicks off. Then it turns on with a click and repeats its cycle. This is how your freezer functions. When it needs to cool, the compressor will kick on and cool until the temperature is reached. Then it will kick off until it needs to cool again. It's possibly due to the hot and humid summer that it is cycling on and of more. I hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Without knowing much about Frigidaire , I would say at a guess that the green light would mean there is power on and the orange would be that the temperature isn't down to what you have selected yet. Most freezers have these 2 lights or a display showing the same. Check that the freezer hasn't frosted up and the food has frozen correctly. If you have a thermometer, most domestic freezers should run at around -18 degrees celcius. If its a larger type for long term storage, the freezer would normally run at around -20.

Start by unplugging and cleaning it gets dusty of course then they cant circulate air, also if your freezer has too much stuff the air cant circulate an they sometimes over heat, did you notice it running all the time before it quit, was the temp good need more details after you first clean the bottom andunder neath, un plug first hope this helps

Good Morning Denise, thank you for your inquiry! From the information you have provided your Frigidaire freezer is making a buzzing noise and it will not stop. You may need to perform a reset on your freezer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If the buzzing continues I would be happy to research your freezer further, in order to do so I would need your model number. You can locate the serial tag (which lists your model number) on the inside wall. Once I have that information I would be happy to help you further. -Matt

Hello friend, thanks for your inquiry! From the information you have provided your Frigidaire freezer is no longer freezing and all the lights are on. You may need to perform a reset on your freezer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If this does not start your freezer would you be able to provide me with your model number? You can locate the model number on your serial tag which can be found on the inside wall. I look forward to assisting your further. -Matt

There are a few possibilities. Freeze-ups are a result of the unit either not having sufficient airflow or the compressor running too long and too often. As you note the fan is good, chances are airflow is not the issue. There are a few quick items that you can check on: 1. Check door seals. Leaks will cause the interior to lose cooling faster and result in compressor overloading. 2. Do not overload the freezer. Too much inside the freezer will cause loss of airflow INSIDE the unit and can cause issues. 3. Avoid putting too much unfrozen material into the freezer at once. It takes a lot of work to remove all the heat from a large amount of material. 4. Avoid multiple opening and closing of the door. Upright freezers are inefficient as they lose all their cold air as soon as you open the door. Chest freezers do better if you must go into the unit often. Lastly, undercharged refrigerant system can cause the same issue. If you don't have any of the other problems noted, have a serviceman check the refrigerant and fill the system as needed.

Freezer not reaching cut off temperature.measure temp with a thermometer. -18 TO -20 should allow thermostat to cut off compressor.
