Frigidaire Refrigerator Not Cooling? Same-Day Repair

Frigidaire refrigerators commonly lose cooling due to a failed evaporator fan motor, a clogged defrost drain, or a faulty temperature control thermostat. Our technicians service all Frigidaire models — including Gallery and Professional series — same-day in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow.

Common Causes

1

Evaporator Fan Motor Failure

Frigidaire models are known for evaporator fan motor issues, especially in Gallery series French door models.

2

Temperature Control Thermostat

A faulty thermostat doesn't signal the cooling system to turn on, leaving the fridge warm.

3

Defrost Drain Clog

Frigidaire side-by-side models are prone to defrost drain clogs that cause ice buildup blocking airflow.

4

Start Relay Failure

If you hear clicking every few minutes, the start relay may be failing to engage the compressor.

What You Can Check First

Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.

Check for frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer — a defrost issue

Listen for clicking sounds from the back — could indicate a start relay problem

Make sure the condenser coils underneath are clean (Frigidaire often places them on the bottom)

Verify the fridge isn't in demo/showroom mode (check the display settings)

Typical Repair Cost

$150–$400vs. $800–$2,000+ for a new refrigerator

Frigidaire Refrigerator Not Cooling FAQ

The most common issue on Frigidaire models is an evaporator fan motor failure, especially on Gallery series French door models. A defrost drain clog is the second most common cause. Both are common repairs we handle regularly.
Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. If it has a control panel, hold the reset button for 3 seconds. If cooling doesn't return within a few hours, the issue requires professional repair.
