Frigidaire refrigerator problems.

First of all this is a Frigidaire refrigerator mod #FRT21IL4W3

My problem is, a while back I noticed the freezer wasn't freezing and the refrigerator was working ok. I moved the unit to another location and now the freezer works but the refrigerator does not get cold. The fan works fine.

Got any idea whats wrong?

Thanks.

 

The evaporator is in the freezer section and there is a fan that moves the air from the freezer to the fridge. What most people don't realize is that the thermostat actually controls the freezer temp and the fridge temp control is actually an air door that allows more or less air to circulate into the fridge.

Also, cleaning of the condenser coils and fan under and behind unit are very important. Most units to clean......you pull the plug out. Roll unit away from wall. Carefully remove cardboard from back of unit. If it hasn't ever been cleaned or it's just been a while....you'll see lots of dust. Vacuum it out carefully including the fan.

Now....to your problem. There is a fan that circulates cold air thru the fridge. This may be stuck/bad on your unit.

1) Click on link below.
2) Look for pic diagram of your unit at upper left. At bottom of pic click on view full size
3) Now click on picture. It should now be full screen. Use arrow keys to move pic.
4) The part you're looking at is part # 13 (evap motor)
5) Using this pic you can see where the fan is located. Looks to be pretty easy to get to.
6) Check and see if it's running

This site (where manual is) is a Sear's parts place. You can get the fan from them.

Thanks, I'm going to clean the coils, motor and back today like you suggested. It's never been cleaned that I know of. I also looked at that diagram and can see exactly where that fan is (part #13) and will inspect it today too. Again thanks for the help.
