Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the defrost heater on my Frigidaire refrigerator?
The defrost heater is usually located on the evaporator coil in the freezer compartment. You'll typically need to remove the rear panel inside the freezer to access it. Be sure to disconnect power before disassembling.
•Where is the damper door located in my Frigidaire refrigerator, and how do I test it?
The damper door is generally located between the freezer and refrigerator compartments, often at the top of the refrigerator section. To test it, visually inspect its movement and if electronically controlled, use a multimeter to check the actuator motor for proper voltage when the temperature changes.
•How can I tell if my refrigerator's control board is faulty?
A faulty control board can manifest in various ways, including inconsistent temperatures, failure to initiate defrost cycles, and unresponsive controls. If you've ruled out other potential causes, the control board is a likely culprit. Replacement is often the best solution, but consult with a qualified technician for confirmation.
