I can't thank you enough for this clear, methodical, instructional video. Replacing the fan was a breeze, haha! Not one aggravating moment, which is pretty rare when repairing something. The amount of stress, time, and money you saved me is immeasurable. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you for the video. I followed this step by step to replace my evaporator fan motor. It worked perfectly. I only ended up spending $35 on the part. I was very pleased!
This was a very awesome video. Short and to the point. No jibber jabber. My issue ended up being ice blocking the fan and removing it helped the fan move again
Being a woman I am tired of being ripped off. The appliance guy came out and said it would be 1200.00 to fix and to replace the fan. I told him to f...off that I would fix it myself. The part only costed 16.00 on Amazon and this video was step by step and I fixed it in 15 minutes. Thank You so much.
On a Frigidaire model FFFH20F2QWC, the fan is secured much more tightly. There is a coil that holds it on the you may have to carefully remove. There is also the temperature control knob. The thermostat wiring prevents a full removal of the cover as illustrated, but you can work around it by moving the cover to your right like an unhinged door. The job took about 30 minutes of work, with reviews of this video multiple times not included.
If I could ask what was your freezer doing. Mine the light comes on but nothing else.
I just did this and my freezer is functioning perfectly again. The replacement motor didn't have threads for the bracket mounting screws; so I used self tapping screws and they worked fine. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!
We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
We hope that you have a great day!
Right on! I had the same issue with my Kenmore freezer. I followed the instructions and found the motor fan was stuck. Once I clear up the fan path, everything started working. Thanks a lot.
I have a question once you plug the freezer on the fan should be working right away?
Thank you for your video, I was able to replacement my evaporator fan motor. The freezer started working well for a few days, but the light was blinking. Now it is cold but not freezing (-4C). Do you have any recommendations? It says high temperature
So if the fan is malfunctioning, when you open the door and the lights on, could you still possibly hear the compressor or something it’s making a noise? But it’s not freezing at all. Thanks
I have the same freezer as in this video. On 9/13/19 after receiving the part, I did exactly as this video recommended. I arrived home the next day after switching out the evaporator fan motor and everything is back to normal. The high temp light is off and the digital thermometer showed a temperature of 20 degrees.
How did you diagnose it as the fan being bad?
The fan was running but it wasn’t getting cold enough to freeze a cup of water.
@@jackbaker4133 my fan is fine issue is the coils only get a bit cold I'm stumped
my freezer fan is working but not freezing any suggestions?
Have a neighbor having the same issue. Fan works, compressor is running but doesn’t cool at all. Over time the compressor gets extremely hot and thermals off.
Our freezer is all of a suddenly very loud about 70% of the time, but still keeping cool. Would this be the most obvious first thing to replace?
Is there more than 1 fan in the fridge? My freezer isn't freezing the food and the fridge isnt as cold as I would like it to be. The fan in the freezer is working. Should I be looking for another fan in the fridge? Thanks Cindy
Frigidaire Side by Side Refrigerator Freezer side is cold but not freezing
Thank you for this. It made it easy!
i already reprocess upright freezer the result is good cooling but the suction press going below zero.
Thanks, It went good.
if it spins freely does that mean its not broken?
Help me, my freezer acson, the wire inside unreachable. How to connect the wire in correct
The moment you're sure the freezer internal destruction clock ⏰ has met its 0 hour 0 minute 0 seconds left. So you're now surching the net for any helpful information as to what could be wrong.
This clip is my first hit. Fast forward to me at the freezer plugging it back in.
What? Why is there no power?? I've already checked the fuse box. Let me try to plug something else in. It has no power.
Thats when you remember the GFI outlets with the random order the builder electrician did just for the fun of it.
Three trys later with my husband saying he never heard this when they was showing use the house.
I'm proud to say, The freezer is working.
Hi Repair clinic. Can I get a video on how to replace the temparature control thermostat on model LFFH20FEQWC
when you replace the new motor in the freezer, is the holes in the new motor tapped or threaded so you don't have to contact a local machine shop to do this for you?
I noticed that the food on the door of my GE upright freezer was thawing out. Upon further investigation I realized the food in front was thawing but in the back was frozen. I emptied it and put a bottle of water in 24 hrs later it was only partly frozen. I turned the unit off and started researching what could be wrong. I restarted it and the bottle of water froze. So I believe the compressor is working. I removed the inside cover and the fan is working but noticed the coils were about 50% frozen up. I am now doing a complete defrost. What do I check next to see why the freezing up. Thanks

I moved my freezer from one location to another and now it's not cold at all what could be the problem
What did you do to fix it
My frigidare upright freezer light comes on but it doesn't work. Nothing comes on but the lights.
My does the same and I just reset it and it works fine now. I hope it’s not too late for you
@@mthaongo thanks i'll try it
@@mthaongo sorry but where's the reset button at. I moved my freezer to clean the back and now it won't turn on the light does but I can't hear the freezer
I have a Frigidaire upright freezer and it stop freezing . The compressor will come on and go right off . What make the compressor keep running? ?
+Benny Brown Usually when this happens the compressor itself is shot, locked up inside.
Fridigaire is a horrible make an upright miney pit
excellent.
I replaced the fan motor, but it still doesn't work. there's only one connection, so the only possibility I can think of is that the replacement motor is bad, but that seems improbable. I'm stumped
My issue that that I have is that my freezer doesn't freeze cold enough to freeze food
Isai Ramirez same here
Same problem. How do you fix it?
My side by side frigidaire freezer is not working i hearthe compressor turning on and off cycling every 3 to 4 minutes ALL by its self the THERMOSTAT WILL CHANGE TO LOWER NUMBER ON THE FREEZER AND THE REFRIGERATOR , Please help whats wrong with this
I have an upright freezer and can hear the fan running but everything thawed out and it's hot inside the freezer now.
Me too ! this is my exact problem
Tisa Monger what
You should have it looked at. That's not right. It's supposed to be cold in there.
You must have it on the bread warmer setting
check inside the freezer in the bottom back. mine was coated over with ice. i think it was due to very hot weather.
HI MY FRIGIDAIRE STOPPED FREEZING. THE FAN STILL BLOWS BUT THE AIR IT BLOWS IS NOT COLD.I UNPLUGGED IT FOR A WHILE AND PLUGGED IT IN AGAIN AND IT IS NO DIFFERENCE.
did u figure it out? having same issue
I DID CHANGE THE EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR; A REFRIGERATOR GUY TOLD ME TO TURN IT ALL THE WAY UP AND LEAVE IT ALONE. HE WAS RIGHT THIS SUCKER IS KICKIN LIKE A CHICKN. I HOPE IT HELPS YOU
so your fan was working and blowing out air but you still replaced it? My fan is running its just warm air. I bought a new controller which attaches to the compressor as my 1st guess at fixing this. If the fan is working you still recommend to replace it?
THAT'S WHAT I DID.AND TURNED IT UP AND IT STARTED FREEZING AGAIN.

I have this freezer but on some days there is a puddle of water around it and it is quiet No sound coming from it and then it starts making sound and freezing again anyone know what could be the problem
I have an upright freezer and it stops freezing until I adjust the temperature, what’s wrong
Prob thermostat went bad...works on coldest or warmest setting?
My garage freezer hardly freezes, motor sounds under stress, the back (bottom) of the freezer is frozen up which is covering that drain hole. This tends to happen in hot weather. The problem will usually correct itself if I unplug the freezer for 12-24 hours.
Can anyone advise why this happens?
This the same exact upright freezer I have....what's the model number for it. My sticker on the inside is gone.

I have refrigerator 253.60722000 and want to make it a freezer. What thermostat should I use, and any other parts? Thank you
Dont think it works like that
the fan motor will never cut off, but the compressor will cut on and off.. Freeze good and freezing
Um, the repair doesn’t match with the title
I have a Frigidaire Upright and its not doing nothing when I plug it in and turn the knob to Freeze. No fan or compressor.
sounds like no power
GE upright freezer not defrosting. Manually defrosted it. got nice and cold didn't seem to go into defrost mode. Advanced the timer manually into defrost mode. Freezer defrosted but after 45 min. still had not gone back to cool mode. Does that mean the timer is shot or could one of the temp. sensors be causing this?? Manually put it back into cooling mode. thanks any one

Step 1: Don’t buy Frigidaire appliances
Fridigair freezers are complete garbage - don’t waste your money
Bad thing is they are all china garbage now days
Agreed
I have a Frigidaire upright freezer and it stop freezing . The compressor will come on and go right off . What make the compressor keep running? ?
Electricity. If you don't want it to run, shut off the electricity and it will stop.
aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh hahahahahhahah, PIerre has a sense of hummmaaaaa !! ahhahaha. I thought for sure you would recommend that "load firewood in cabinet and cook hotdogs for 14 dogs and then the magic of the freezer will come back to life...." I'm certain of it yes? ahhahahahaha ahahahahha hhahahahah @@ucimyy4u
I just replaced my air compressor motor. it came on, light blinked a few times and now fan won't run. do I have a short? how can I troubleshoot this? please help!
