Frigidaire 16.8 cu. ft. Upright Freezer PLFU1778ES Stainless Steel Questions & Answers
Stand alone stopped freezing repair
These units have a defrost timer. When the defrost mode kicks in, it can seem like the unit isn't working. It is basically heating parts of the unit to melt frost.
You can open the unit and it will not be as cold, and there will be moisture everywhere.
Its possible both units have just gone through this cycle and you just happened to catch it.
If there is a problem, it could be with the defrost timer or something related to that part of the units.
There could also be a leek in the compressor system, and yes, it could be the compressors. Intermittent working suggests no leek, but either the pump dying or the defrost timer malfunction.
Try unplugging the units for about 15 minutes. Plug them back in and see if they both begin to start working correctly. If any of them are working fine again, its likely not a problem with the pump. More likely the defrost timer.
unfortunately these units only have a 2 year warranty, but its worth a call to the manufacturer to check.
Food not totally frozen, icecream melted
if it a frost free freezer then chances are it is a defrost hearter, fan motor or defrost timer
if it is not frost free then it will either be the compressor or a gas leak ( which should be under warranty)
My Frigidaire up right freezer is showing an error code "FF" and is beeping. What is the issue?
Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!
Within your Frigidaire freezer the error code "FF" stands for freezer failure. I would perform a reset on your appliance which can be done by either unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit breaker. Once the freezer has come back on you should be able to push the "Down" button three times to start it back up.
If that does not correct the issue Please respond back I would like to assist you with any additional information. Hope this helps to some degree. -Matt
