I appreciate your inquiry, Tammy McAninch!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire freezer door pops open when you open your refrigerator door. This can happen with new refrigerators because the seal is new. I understand your question is labeled under model FGHB2866PF. It could be issues with your door not aligned properly and hitting your freezer door to open. I would check the gasket to make sure they are creating the proper seal on your freezer in order to check that you can use a dollar bill. Place a dollar bill between the body of the freezer and close the door. The dollar bill should stay in place and pull out with a small amount of resistance. If the dollar bill falls out when placed between the gasket and cabinet double check to see if the door is being blocked by anything stopping it from closing it. If nothing is stopping the door from closing then replace the gasket. If you continue to experience issues with your freezer door I would recommend reaching out to a professional for further assistance. I hope this information helps to some degree. -Matt

Samsung french door freezer will not open

Aha!

The Samsung wants the password.... in French! No!

Sorry.... couldn't resist....
If it's iced up then that would hold it shut until it melts.

Icing up is usually caused by a bad seal!

Refrigerator problems 2-door freezer door stuck will not open

Good Afternoon friend, I appreciate your post!

Based off what you have described the door on your Frigidaire refrigerator is stuck and will not open. It sounds like you may have condensation on your gasket and it has frozen the door shut. The best thing to do is disconnect power from the refrigerator for four to six hours and that should break up any ice holding the door closed. I hope this is helpful information. -Matt

My refrigerator is not working on my samsung tyhe freezer does work perfectly just need help with the product

On some refrigerators there is a chute that lets cold air from the freezer section into the refrigerator side. If this fails to open than the refrigerator will not chill.
Also a refrigerator low on charge will act like yours.

The freezer stopped working and maybe the refrigerator too but there is light inside when I open the door. Water is leaking from the freezer door perhaps coming from the melting ice.

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing thencheck out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to starttrouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then callinga repair person to do a simple thing for you...

My freezer has a a sound like oil burnd and bulds up ice on pipes

sounds like it may be overcharged. The popping sound is actually liquid refrigerant coming back to the compressor. Has it been worked on recently? If it has trefrigerant will have to be removed.

Freezer will not turn on

Sounds like the sensor circuit may be open. Here is the problem, either it has a board that's bad or the sensor is out. Ohm the sensor circuit and record the temp the box is at in refrigerator and freezer. then the ohm reading. Contact manufacturer or representative of manufacturer, and ask what the sensor should read at the temps you have.

Generally if you get a reading on the sensor circut the sensor is ok, and the board is out BUT not always. this is why you need the temperature and the ohm readings. Sometimes the wire diagram has a legend with these reading on it. Look all around the underneath and behind sections for an envelope containing the wire diagram.

Fridge/Freezer combo - Freezer working fine but fridge is not

There is a duct between the freezer and refrigerator. Sometimes this duct blocks off with ice and won't allow airflow. Open your refrigerator door and check for air flow if there is none the duct needs to be defrosted. turn off freezer/ refrigerator and defrost.
