Greg - For model number R22CW10
January 31, 2020
Is this a refrigerator, freezer, or both? There is only one cabinet space, not a two space, freezer on top, refer on bottom. Just one large space, and no racks on the door. The fan on my unit is malfunctioning, so i am going to replace it, but i need to know what this thing is! It was sold to me as a “works good refrigerator” but they lied. It gets cold, but the fan at the top of the cabinet is not running right....acts like a bad bearing. i can get the entire compartment down to about 38-40 degrees, but if i put the thermometer on the top shelf, directly below the fan, the thermometer shows about 27 degrees if the thermostat is turned to the coldest setting. serial # is wa31600055
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Greg, Thank you for your question. This model is an upright freezer, not a refrigerator, and our sources suggest replacing the run capacitor under part PS2333670 for your model to fix the temperature issues with the motor. We hope this helps.

Rear of upper shelf would freeze, while the rest of the freezer was dripping wet
68 of 81 people found this instruction helpful.
  • MARK from LIBERTY LAKE, WA
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
We opened our freezer last week only to find the bottom 2/3 was barely cold, while only the rear of the upper shelf was cold. In fact, it was covered in frost, despite being a frost-free model. Our frozen veggies were slushy, not rock hard, and our frozen juices were all liquid. We defrosted the freezer, plugged it back in, but immediat ely noticed that we didn't hear the 'whhoooooosh' that you typically hear when you close the freezer door. After 30 minutes, the rear upper shelf was frosty again, but the rest was still at room temp. We figured the freezer was a goner, so we started looking at new freezers. I headed online to see if I could fix it, and I eventually found this site. I had learned online that these symptoms can be caused by either a bad capacitor, or a bad controller (which the capacitor plugs in to). I guess you can't necessarily tell which of the two parts is defective, so I chose to order/replace both of them. I ordered the correct parts from partselect.com, and they alerted me that Frigidaire has a new replacement part for the capacitor. When the parts arrived (quickly, ftw!), I unplugged the freezer and snipped the two wires leading to the controller. Next I unplugged the controller from the compressor housing. I spliced the replacement controller's wires into the freezer's wires (using my own wire nuts...as none were included with my order :( ). I snapped the new controller onto the compressor mounting, and then plugged the capacitor in. I plugged the freezer back in, and it was time for the moment of truth. The interior light of the freezer came on, and I could hear the compressor 'humming'. I could hear it humming before the repair, so the big test was to see if it got cold. I was nervous because the freezer DIDN'T make the 'whoooshing' noise right away, but after just an hour, the 'test' mug of water was already turning into ice. It was fixed!!!! If you have these symptoms, you CAN do this!!! Unplug the freezer. Cut two wires. Unplug the controller. Splice two wires. Plug in the new controller. Snap in the new capacitor. DONE!!!

Temp alarm sounding and food on top shelves partially thawed
43 of 52 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Wayne from Forest Hill, MD

  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
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 n 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.

Extreme noise for 3 months, then not cold
37 of 47 people found this instruction helpful.
  • JAMES from LA MESA, CA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers
Pulled the fridge from encloser, removed rear cardboard cover and found compressor in rear. The compressor, being very accessable, was easy to find the bad starter/capacitor. I removed the spring retainer, pulled the capacitor off the starter, removed the starter by pulling outward and replaced with new. All went well when the unit star ted and cooled as new. Some noise at times, but traced to icemaker. As time went by, that noise was gone.
