The fan on the bottom of the unit is making noise. What part?
Hi Linda, thank you for your inquiry. The noise from the bottom unit is likely coming from the condenser fan motor or its fan blade. Check if the fan blade is hitting anything. Look for cracks or other damage on the blade. If the fan seems loose or the motor makes a rattling or grinding sound, the motor bearings may be worn. Part number for the condenser fan is part number PS11766772. Glad to be of help!
I have received the condenser fan motor kit, but the video does not match the placement of the parts on my model (Frigidaire # PLFU1778ES2). The fan seems to be at the back, not in between the compressor at the front.
I think I need a different installation video for my freezer
Hello Wes, thank you for reaching out. We have attached a link to the installation video of the condenser fan motor. In this video the condenser fan motor is mounted at the rear of the freezer behind the lower rear access panel. We hope this information is useful!

My icemaker only makes 1 tray of cubes in 24 hours. I replaced the unit and still have the same issue. Could it be the defrost timer. I had to replace that part 5 or 6 years ago?
Hello John, Thank you for the question. Poor water flow will affect how your ice maker produces ice. If the Water flow is slow then it will make less ice. We suggest checking the water lines first to make sure there is no ice or frost build up inside preventing the water from getting to the Ice Maker. If the Water Lines are good, we suggest replacing the Water Valve. We hope this helps!
My plfu1778es2 cycles on and off as is should. It is "on" for about 27 minutes then "off" for about 17 minutes it continues to cycles like this. Is this a normal cycle time?

If you need help placing an order, our customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

When cleaning the coils on your refrigerator always remember rule number 1, unplug it first. I was cleaning the coils and hit the fan blade while it was moving with a brush, thus breaking off one of the fan blades. I ordered a new fan and installed it in about 15 minutes. Very easy repair.

Temp alarm sounding and food on top shelves partially thawed

After silencing the alarm, it seemed to be running as normal without any unusual noises, but food was starting to thaw from the top shelf on down and condensation was dripping from the roof. We were able to place most of the food in 2 large ice chests and then the rest in the freezer compartments of 2 fridges we have in the house. I the
... Read moren turned down the temp dial to the coldest setting and let it run for an hour or so; no change.
After researching on the internet, it sounded like our symptoms could be pointing to a defrost timer issue. I pulled the freezer away from the wall, located the timer and used a large screwdriver to slowly advance it. While doing this, at one point I could hear the compressor kick in. I pushed the quick freeze button and let it run for a while. When I checked it in a few hours, the alarm light had gone out and water that I had placed inside was frozen. We took a chance and put the food we placed in the ice chests back in the freezer. Everything was fine several hours later.
I ordered a new defrost timer, it arrived in a couple of days, and replaced the old one with it in a matter of minutes by disconnecting the wire harness from the old timer, removing the 2 screws holding it onto the bracket, screwing the new timer to the bracket, reconnecting the wires harness, and done. It's been a week or so and no problems.
