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.
Sacramento garage freezers face summer heat that forces long run cycles and stresses the start relay and condenser. A dusty condenser plus a warm garage is the common Central Valley combination behind a Frigidaire freezer that will not hold temperature.
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.
