20 Most Recent Frigidaire FRS26H7CS Side by Side Refrigerator Questions & Answers

The Compressor starter is what they are talking about, when the compressor is first sent power the start side of the compressor is energized, after 5 seconds the switch swaps over to the run side. If the capacitor is shorted out it will not have the power needed to start and run. There is not condenser relay, it is a compressor relay. I need more correct info to help you further.

I would suggest you unplug it for maybe 15 minutes before restarting. If the condenser is caked with ice maybe a couple of hours would get it defrosted.

Check to see if the freezer temp matches what the display has, if it does you have a compressor/sealed system issue. If it does not match, you have a control board issue. Both require a professional.

Probably but do these below. too The limit switch (Defrost Thermostat) is sitting on top of the
freezer coils, about the size of a quarter. Cut the two wires and install new one, splicing the two into the new

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned warmer which makes REF. colder or vice versa.
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Hi,

You are correct in your assumption. The problem you describe are consistent with the start relay on the compressor. It will act this way then eventually quit all together if not replaced.

The relay is attached to the compressor. Pull the frig out and unplug the power cord. Take the lower panel off the back, the compressor will have a black plastic cover on one side of it. Under this cover is the relay.

The relay will go bad from overheating. Be sure the coils are clean and the fan by the coils is running.

without a model number to check out what else might be in that area of the door i'd say a piece of tubing from the water source is leaking, or you are getting ice melt from inside somehow making it out through that panel now. i believe the water for the door comes in through the bottom of the freezer door and works its way up to the dispenser area, the solenoid for the water inlet is behind the fridge near the bottom (you'll see the water tubing).
more likely somethings just not fitted or aligned properly and waters making it out someplace it shouldn't.
best of luck to ya
