I am not getting any power to my refrigerator, there is power coming from the wall socket but the refrigerator is dead, it is a top mount frigidaire model

Is the refrigrator cooling? You would have a much better chance of solving this problem if you would provide the model number of the refrigerator. Sea Breeze

Check the circuit breaker. When tripped, it positions itself in the center between on and off. Turn it off, then on again to reset it.

That error code is "SY" and not "5Y" and it is for the evaporator sensor error. You will need to replace the sensor.Here is the part to order.

The part comes with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.



Access the evaporator assembly cover in the rear of the freezer section. In convertible units that can function either as refrigerators or freezers, and is located toward the bottom of the unit on the inner back wall -- if necessary, remove the two lower glass shelves and the crisper compartments.

Remove the screws securing the evaporator cover to the freezer wall, using a Phillips screwdriver.

Pull the evaporator cover away from the wall just enough to access the electrical connection behind the cover. Be careful not to damage the gaskets on either side of the evaporator cover. Reach behind the cover and disconnect the electrical connection from its wiring harness. Remove the evaporator cover from the freezer.

Remove the wires inside the exposed evaporator assembly from their retaining clips, then squeeze the quick-connect mechanism to detach the wires from the fan motor.

Remove the two hex-head screws that hold the fan motor mounting bracket to the back wall of the unit, using a 5/16-inch socket or nut driver.

Remove the two hex-head screws holding the fan motor to the mounting bracket, using the 5/16-inch socket or nut driver, then pull the fan blade off the motor shaft.

Examine the fan to make sure the blades are not damaged; if necessary, replace the fan itself as well as the motor. Slide the fan onto the motor shaft.

Attach the new motor to the mounting bracket, using the 5/16-inch socket or nut driver to secure the two hex-head screws.

Replace and tighten the two hex-head screws that hold the fan motor mounting bracket to the back wall of the unit, using the 5/16-inch socket or nut driver.

Reattach the the fan motor wires by clipping them back into the quick-connect mechanism, and set the wires back into their retaining clips in the same manner as they were attached.

Set the evaporator assembly cover back into place, then reach behind and connect the electrical connection into the wiring harness.

Secure the Phillips screws that hold the evaporator cover to the freezer wall.

Replace the shelves and crisper compartments if they were removed, then plug the refrigerator into its power source and verify proper operation.

Probably the refrigerator especially if the compressor is not starting . Is refrigerator/freezer working?

The evaporator coil is located on the back wall of the freezer section. It is normally behind a plastic shield. NOTE: Plastic is brittle when cold so use caution while removing and don't over torgue the screws when replacing.

On top mount refrigerators it is inside on the ceiling. Side by side units use a adc on the left side of the refrigerator wall

the evaporator fan is not spinning. the coil is getting too cold because the fan is not circulating the air across it. defrost it and see if the fan works. If not, they are fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. There is an access cover on the back wall of the freezer. remove it, and the fan is right behind it.

take out the whole back wall cover to access the fan. this is very straight-forward stuff once you see it.

The baffle that opens to allow cooling into the refrigerator may be blocked, broken or mis wired. These units work by just cooling the freezer and then blowing some cold air into the refrigerator whenever the fridge thermostat calls for it. The fridge's thermostat is trying to cool the refrigerator but something is preventing the cool air from getting to the refrigeration part, that's why it's freezing up the freezer

If u have 2 people u can lean the fridge back and the drain pan unscrews from the fridge from the bottom even though it says "non-removable
