Both the freezer and the refrigerator sections are not cooling and actually overheated and blew the fuse. The vertical strip in front of the fridge separating the 2 was very hot. I unplugged and turned off the unit. I vacuummed and blew canned air throughout the bottom of the fridge including the evaporator fan and front filter/vent. I plugged in the fridge, turned it back on and checked the fan which is functioning and the fridge is humming but not cooling.
SOURCE: freezer not freezing
sounds like a leak in the system if under 5 years call frigidaire if not get a whirlpool
SOURCE: My freezer is hot!
It is normal for the freezer or fridge walls to be hot sometimes, some important points are to make sure that there is enough ventillation around the fridge/freezer, especcially the back, so that air can circulate around it freely. Also maybe just check that there hasn't been anything fallen down the back blocking the vent, and that there isn't a dust collection or anything. Otherwise as far as I know this is normal.

What you have is a defrost problem. Most likely the defrost heater has failed. Read more about it HERE

SOURCE: FRIGIDAIRE UPRIGHT FREEZER COMPRESSOR VERY HOT
Well I finally found the screws for the front grill. The compressor started cooling off once the seal was put back in place. So I'm going to give that a day or so. Still did not find the coils I'm assuming that they are in the sides. One thing I do know for sure, is that I'm putting you guys in my favorites. I educated myself so much from your website. I'm not sure I ever had a problem except the seal. I don't have the original motor to check but I'm working on getting it back. If I would have found this website before the tech I would have saved $150.00. Thank you so much.
SOURCE: walls of freezer are hot to touch
freezer is working overtime . these symptoms generally indicate excessive outside air coming into freezer. make sure doorgasket is completely sealed all the way around door.
