It could be a thermostat but is more likely to be a defrost problem. If it freezes up within a short space of time I would suggest contacting a fridge guy who should be able to diagnose either the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, defrost timer or thermostat. Hope this is of some help.
very doubtfull fridge fault would double elec consumption. look at rating plate and see how many watts then equate this to light bulbs. average light bulb is 60-100 watts (uk). does circuit breaker you turned off only control the fridge?
dadcanfix. There are two possibilities here. One could be the water valve itself, clogged or not seating or opening properly. The second would be the water tank on the refrigerator side, partially frozen. I believe they have a kit now with coiled tubing that replaces that tank because of the trouble they had with it. Remove the refer drawers and take a hair dryer and go over the tank lightly. See if that improves the water flow. Catriver..post back.
Check out this site - it gives a toll-free number to call to ask for exactly what you want. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any alternative ice makers advertised or discussed, but speak direct to frigidaire and they will keep you up to date on any new products.

Did you clean the surfaces thoroughly and glue it down with white or clear silicone, then leave it to cure? also was it an OEM replacement or an Amazon special as the quality is different.
It is called short cycling. Help below
If your refrigerator is short cycling, it can be caused by a number of issues including: An incorrectly set thermostat inside your refrigerator. Dirt and dust on the coils that prevents efficient operation. Faulty capacitors or relays that prevent the compressor from staying on.

Diane - Sorry I don't have a Frigidare but check out this site - I have heard of this but your error code could actually be 5b which is the best that they can do to show a Sabbath Day setting that the frig is designed with

Depends on model. Generic advice in the link and videos. You can effect a power reset by pulling that wall plug for 30 minutes.
Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by pressing
and holding both the freezer "? Down" and refrigerator "? Up"
indicators for five (5) seconds. The display shows "Sb"
while in Sabbath mode

The E6 error code on a Frigidaire wine fridge, specifically the model FGWC5233TS, indicates a fault with the upper temperature sensor. When this error code is displayed, it means that the temperature sensor located in the upper portion of the wine fridge is not functioning properly or is experiencing a malfunction.
To troubleshoot and resolve the E6 error code, you can try the following steps:
Unplug the wine fridge from the power source for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This may reset the error code and resolve any temporary issues.
Ensure that the wine fridge is properly leveled. Uneven positioning can affect the performance of the temperature sensor. Adjust the feet or placement of the unit to ensure it is level.
Check for any obstructions or blockages around the upper temperature sensor. Make sure there are no items blocking the sensor or disrupting its operation.
If the error persists, it is recommended to contact Frigidaire customer support or a qualified appliance technician for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on the model and help diagnose and repair the issue with the upper temperature sensor.
limited information ---unable to give an answer --since you need to test the unit most likely problems overheated/failing compressor [dirty/restricted air flow condenser area --condenser-evap fan fail /short--circuit short ---------breaker failing [but if tripping and resets normal usually not the case ]
Question edited for clarity.
It sounds like the compressor is struggling / overheating / failing. When was the last time your stripped the back out and removed all the fluff and debris? It overworks the compressor and gets red hot when the condenser coils get blocked. The struggling compressor causes the humming. Turn it off, keep the doors closed and vacuum it all out. Clean underneath and you might as well clean the floor and walls around it as the plan is to leave it disconnected for 1 to 2 hours to cool down and settle the refrigerant gas/liquid. Some other ideas below.
The evaporator fan motor circulates air over the coils to help keep things cool inside your fridge. If this motor starts to go bad, it will make a buzzing sound as it struggles to circulate air. You'll need to replace the evaporator fan motor to fix this problem.
