Look at it this way. The guy that gave you the fridge helped hundreds of people that might not be able to afford a repairman or a new fridge and you my friend posted a great video that has saved people hundreds of dollars. So credit goes to you and the guy you got it from. Great video! Thanks so much!!

That first part you removed is not only a thermal overload protector. It is actually called a start relay. Instead of using a capacitor, there is a small round disk (semiconductor) inside the plastic shell that is called a thermistor. It allows voltage to run into the start winding of the compressor with no resistance at start up. The voltage running through the thermistor causes it to heat up rapidly which increases the resistance of the material that the thermistor is made out of, which stops voltage from continuing to pass through the start winding due to the high resistance. It's only allowing voltage to pass through long enough to start the compressor. It cools down when the compressor cycles off via the thermostat, and when it calls for cooling again, the thermistor is cooled off and allows voltage to pass through again to restart. Thermistors work good, but their lifespan isn't as good as other set ups.

This was a great video. My Frigidaire took a dump on me. I watched every video I could find, and he is right about having to try many things in order to find the problem. Then again, I had never worked on a fridge before. I got down to the thermostat, the knob on the front of the fridge. So, I took it off and went to a local appliance store that sells new and used stuff. They guy working there told me he had never seen one of those go bad before. He acted like he did not want to sell me the part, but he did. It took me awhile to get it back together. But it started working Now it stays at about 0 in the freezer and 38 in the fridge. Whereas it was around 30 in the fridge and freezing stuff or 40ish and ruining what was in there. My Thanks to you guys who take the time to make these videos and the time to explain what to look for and how to fix.

Haha the bulbs dont work because they blew i guess when i put the power back on.. weird! Thanks for the reply again! Going to try to get to the back and clean the coils like u said!

Thank you that fixed my fridge..?

Great video! You mentioned power surges could blow out the parts which makes sense for our location but, we also have the issue that in the fall, being located in an unheated room with the room temperature around 30-40 degrees F, the freezer section defrosted and only blows warm air, plus the fridge doesn't cool. What parts could be affected in that scenario? Likely the defrost timer due to the room being so cold, or could that also affect the capacitor and/or relay? Now that it's spring, we have to repair.

Hello.I just had a question and I hope it's not silly but if I plug in the power cord and the cold control knob is set to the off position would the condenser fan by the compressor still be on(turning) although I have the temp control knob inside the fridge set to off.

Would that defrost timer be the same culprit in just a stand alone fridge? Or is there something else? Our fridge works but it is not getting and staying cold. Had the door seal replaced and seemed to make it cooler but still gets warm.

Very informative! I have - I believe - the same model fridge and have been running into defrost issues for a bit now. I’ll defrost the fridge in full, it’ll work just fine for about a month, and then it’ll frost back over and the fridge is 50 degrees. I replaced the timer, the coil appears to be working, and the thermostat doesn’t seem to be bulging or defective. Would you recommend replacing that same piece in the back as a long term solution?

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!

I have a Frigidaire refrigerator and it doesn’t get cold and been like this for a month or so. Don’t feel like spending $700 or more. The fan in the back is working. Hope you are right with mine👍👍👍

My best guess would be either the compressor is starting to go out and pushing more amps than it’s supposed to, or you might be low on Freon, causing the compressor to run more than it’s supposed to. I have had this problem in the past and best I could do was swap my gfci outlet to a standard outlet, and cross your fingers that it doesn’t trip the breaker. But if I’ve done this 10 times, 10 times it’s been successful. The problem might lie in your outlet.

My frigidaire gallery refrigerator is not cooling like it should. The compressor kicks on, the fans work and it has freon. When I hold down the buttons on the front of it on the door to start the defrost mode. After it runs the mode, it will get colder. But then the temp goes back up to 70 in the refrigerator part and around 60 in the freezer. If I do the defrost several times in a row, it gets cold but after an hour or so. It goes back up in temp. I unplugged it and left it off for several days. I plugged it back up last night and it dropped in temp from 80 to 70 but that's as cool as it got. I did the defrost mode on it, and the temp went down to 60. But it goes right back up. What could be the issue? I am lost on what to look up to fix it. I replaced the fan inside the freezer. It stopped working. And I learned how to put freon in. Now this issue. 🤦‍♀️ please help me. 🙏

All fridges are utter garbage nowadays. The last two fridges I have owned went out in under 3 years. On my first fridge, the guy said he could fix it, but it would cost twice what the fridge cost me new (lol). He said just to buy a new one. Well the one I bought to replace it lasted 2.5 years. So I called another repairman to see if it could be fixed. He came out and said it couldn't be fixed and that I needed a new one yet again. Why does this happen? Because the environmental laws change about every year and manufacturers are having to make fridges with cheaper and cheaper parts that don't last.
