Fridges and freezers often don't like being started right after they have been moved/tipped, it's best to give them some time (a few hours) in the upright position to allow the refrigerant fluids to settle back where they're supposed to be before restarting.

Frigidaire wont get cold

Hey Rene S, thanks for your post!

In order to reset your Frigidaire refrigerator you would need to disconnect power from it for roughly ten minutes. You can do that by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker. If that does not correct your cooling issue I would recommend contacting a professional to come out and diagnosis your appliance to avoid any unnecessary part purchases. -Matt

The freezer compartment of my daewoo FRN-U20DA is not cold enough and the ice is melting. The fan does not come on and there is no fault indicated on the display panel.

when the fan is not working. you cannot expect an ice cause the fan is to drive the cold to become an ice and to maintain the coldness.

I moved my freezer and now will only stay cold for a short time, why?

You jard the liquids. Did you just move it a little or move like to another house because if you move a frig or freezer somewhere or lay on it's side you shouldn't plug in for an hour or more so it all settles or it won't work. Hope this helped

Tries to run but not getting cold. can hear things start underneath try to do something and copper tubes get cold, but doesn't get cold.

Well, unfortunately you arent very specific in your question. Remember, your looking for help online, and if you ask why your freezer wont get cold, which as you might guess is the most common problem with a refrigerator or freezer, you need to give me any and all symptoms you have. be specific. is it cold at all, or a little cold, what noises do or dont you hear, how long has it been this way, did you notice this after something occurred, i.e., you cleaned it, or moved it.

The freezer motor is not running. the ice in the freezer is melted

If you are referring to the evaporator fan motor located inside the freezer, if it is not running, then your symptoms would be cold food at the bottom of both sections, assuming its a side by side, and warm food at the top, both sides, also the icemaker wont make ice, and water likely wont come out the door. Depending on your brand, it could be the motor itself has burnt out, or possibly a bimetal thermostat, a cal rod heater, or an electronic control board.

Side byrefrigerator runs but not cold. Freezer is

take everything out of it, and let it thaw for 24 hours, using towels and whatever to clean up the water......then plug it back in, if it still does it, like 2 days later, it's broke, if it doesn't it was just the coil in the back that froze up. Happened to me.

Freezer is getting to about o degrees but refrigerator section wont go below 50 this is amana side by side asb2623hrw also changed the defrost timer about a month ago and blew off the coils from underneath...

Check your lower air shutter that lets cold air move from the freezer to the refrigerator's. You may have something blocking the air flow, food, plastic, etc... There should be a dial that opens, and closes the door.

After freezer was moved not getting cold

Unplug the unit and leave it undisturbed for 24 hours. Plug the unit back in again and see if it will come to temp.

Side by side refrigerator is not cold. Bottom freezer is.

if the freezer is cold and the fridge is not then it can be several things. The freezer could have a bunrt out defrost heater, defrost timer faulty, fan not working in the freezer??. all of these things will stop your fridge getting cold, but your freezer will still be around minus 9 deg c. you wont get any air into the fridge as the coil in the freezer is prob all iced over. Dont worry about the heat on the door frame as it is only the anti sweat heater
