Overview:
In Saint Augustine, FL, a customer contacted Gdoing after their Frigidaire refrigerator stopped cooling, with the temperature rising to around 50°F. Despite a previous attempt by another company to replace the control panel, the problem persisted. After assessing the situation, our technician discovered that the refrigerator was low on refrigerant, which is a common issue for this model. To resolve the problem, the technician replaced the evaporator coil and heat exchanger, and recharged the system with R134a refrigerant, restoring the refrigerator’s cooling function.
