Frigidaire Freezer GLRT183TD Questions & Answers
Will not get cold
Hi Ebony! Are you having issues with the unit turning on at all and staying on? Or do you not hear the unit turning on and running? If you hear no noise, to show the unit is running (compressor turning on), you would need to contact a professional at your earliest convenience. The compressor and sealed system are not turning on. If you hear the compressor running, but the unit is not cooling you have a coolant/sealed system concern. Please contact Frigidaire and a professional to repair the unit.

Do you see frost built up on back wall of freezer if so it is not defrosting and this is what needs to be checked, remove back wall of freezer and check these;
Defrost heater-- it usually is at bottom of the evap. coil, to check it remove wires to it ,use a meter set to the lowest ohms setting and check for somewhere between 10-50 ohms if that is what yours is its good if meter reads OL replace defrost heater
Defrost thermostat-- if clips to the top of the evap. coil and is metallic,round , about the diameter of a quarter with a plastic side with 2 wires coming from it(do not confuse it w.thermister),remove wires and check for ZERO ohms WHEN TESTING IT MUST BE COLD so check it when frost is built up,IF meter reading is OL (WHEN COLD) its the problem
Defrost timer or defrost control if has digital display to show tempature
check timer(it could be anywhere except in freezer) by turning till you hear a click,the defrost heater should come on within 5 minutes if the heater does come on the timer is the problem and needs to be replaced,if the heater does not come on the above mentions parts (heater/t-stat) will be the problem.
defrost control is hard for unskilled lay persons to check SO IF heater and defrost t-stat are good replace control
Hope this helps,

The drain is probably clogged. Use a pipe cleaner to clear and then use a turkey baster and force hot water through. Follow with a weak bleach solution. Drain is usually in the middle of the bottom. maybe towards the back. It is supposed to drain into a pan underneath the unit and then evaporate. Another solution could be a leaky door gasket. This overwhelms the defrost system and causes leaks.
RUNS A LONG TIME
Check if the capillary tubes is really bend and can restrict the flow of refrigerant. Restriction in the system can cause the trip off of the compressor overload. Please call qualified technician to correct the problem.
My Frigidaire up right freezer is showing an error code "FF" and is beeping. What is the issue?
Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!
Within your Frigidaire freezer the error code "FF" stands for freezer failure. I would perform a reset on your appliance which can be done by either unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit breaker. Once the freezer has come back on you should be able to push the "Down" button three times to start it back up.
If that does not correct the issue Please respond back I would like to assist you with any additional information. Hope this helps to some degree. -Matt
