Frigidaire freezer not freezing is a known issue affecting FFFU16F2VW. Our technicians specialize in Frigidaire-specific diagnostics and repair.
Frigidaire freezer not freezing is typically caused by failed compressor or low refrigerant. Frigidaire-specific factor: ptc start relay failure on frigidaire upright and chest freezers — the compressor clicks and trips instead of starting, so the box warms. Repair costs $150-$400 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.
PTC start relay failure on Frigidaire upright and chest freezers — the compressor clicks and trips instead of starting, so the box warms
Condenser coil dust and warm-room placement forcing long run cycles that never pull temperature down
Evaporator fan motor failure on frost-free uprights blocking cold-air circulation
Door gasket wear letting warm air in so the compressor cannot hold temperature
Sealed-system or refrigerant loss leaving the compressor running warm with no cooling
Other Frigidaire models may also be affected. Book a free diagnostic for confirmation.
Bay Area Frigidaire freezer owners who hear a click every few minutes with a warming box usually have a failed PTC start relay, an inexpensive fix owners often mistake for a dead compressor. The technician shakes the relay for a rattle before any sealed-system diagnosis.
Time the clicking — a click every few minutes with a warming box points to the PTC start relay overloading, not the compressor itself
Pull and shake the PTC relay at the compressor; a rattle inside confirms a failed relay before deeper diagnosis
Clean the condenser coil and confirm the evaporator fan runs on frost-free uprights before suspecting the sealed system
The first move on a Frigidaire freezer that will not cool is the inexpensive PTC start relay and overload, which resolves most clicking-and-warming calls without touching the compressor. A dusty condenser or a failed evaporator fan is a moderate repair; a genuine sealed-system fault is the rare high-cost outcome ruled in only after the relay and airflow are cleared.

“My exprience with Easy Bear was absolutely superior from the beginning. I had a Subzero decide to quit. Daniel assessed the issue immediately, ordered the required new " motherboard" and had it installed within three days. My prior replacement of said part took 5 months during Covid. Daniel is smart, professional, clearly knows his trade . I most definitely will use Easy Bear in the future.”

“Daniel the technician came to diagnose what's causing our washing machine water overflowing. He didn't actually have to do anything to solve the issue, because as soon as he turned it back on, it began to work properly, but explained what the probable cause was. He was sincere and clear on the matter related to the situation. I wasn't charged for his visit as I was told ahead of time. Stanislav was also cordial arranging for all of the process. I will call them next time I need an appliance service without hesitation.”
