Why is my frigedaire refrigerator and freezer not cooling?

What you got is a compressor relay failure I bet. Take a look at this nice video:
Note: The clicking is a sign of a fatigued compressor relay. Even though this vid featured a whirlpool model they all work the same.

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing thencheck out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to starttrouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then callinga repair person to do a simple thing for you...

Sounds like the dial is stuck to me, it depends how the room temperature is because every time door opens on the fridge, normally try half way first and adjust accordingly. Try freeing dial off so it will move.

I had this once with a Fridigare GLRS267ZAQ4 side by side but it was also heating up water and the freezer wasn't working very well.

My problem was that the coils and condenser in the back bottom of this unit needed a major cleaning and the fan wasn't working very well. Cheap to buy that part and replace yourself. This problem was causing this unit to heat up everywhere because the coils and compressor were not being cooled properly.

I have often found this unit to get ice build up in the back inside wall and had to take a hair dryer to it in order to melt the ice. This mostly caused problems with the ice dispenser and freezer getting warm.

Right now I am having a problem with my refrigerator not cooling well but the freezer is fine. Guess I'll try to defrost the ice and check the coils again.

Hope this helps!

don't worry! its the sound of compressor vibration and it is normal........if the sound is more than turn round the refrigerator and tight the nuts of the compressor stand......................have a nice day:-)

sounds like abad compressor, when it heats up its overheating and shutting off,i would check if the fan behind, next tot he compressor is blowing, and the lower coils are not cloggged

frigidaire has 2 diff i/m units if you have the one that has the i/m along the left hand wall of the freezer then probably you have a broken shutoff cam in the ice maker. solution is replace the i/m
if you have teh model with the icemaker along the back wall. over production of ice is nature of the beast and not really anything you can do about it. 
i know neither is solution is great but i hope it helps peyton

My GE Side by Side refrigerator is about ten years old. the refrigerator side stopped working and is warm. The ice box side is cool but is not as cold as it usually operates.
