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.

Does it have an ice maker? Unplug the ice maker from the inside of the
freezer compartment... "turtle" wrote in message om... My freezer has stopped working but my fridge is working fine. I have a frigidaire side by side.

A compressor clicking on and off can do that. *Some* common trouble makers. http://www.applianceaid.com/frig_notcold.html I have a frigidaire side by side. Model#, approx age? jeff.
