Freezer not working... Fridge fine
 

My freezer has stopped working but my fridge is working fine. I have
a frigidaire side by side. The freezer makes a light humming sound
every 30-45 seconds that lasts about 10 seconds. I unplugged the
fridge/freezer overnight and the freezer started to work once I
plugged it back in. Unfortunately it stopped working again a few
hours later. Should I unplug it for a longer period of time? Does
anyone have any insights?

Thanks,

Keith

Odds are it's the defrost element in the freezer.

Thee is a fan that distributes the air between the two compartments. It may
be going bad or already bad. Check it out. Be sure the path between is not
iced up also.

sounds like a bad defrost timer any loud pops or bangs besides the hum.

Does it have an ice maker? Unplug the ice maker from the inside of the
freezer compartment...

Hi,

Sure the freezer waking that hummmmmm noises? A compressor clicking on
and off can do that.

*Some* common trouble makers.
