My grand kid called and said her s/s fridge frigidaire type was not cooling after the door was left open all nite long, said there was a lot of ice , on the back, so i told her to let it defrost and then start it up, so today i went over and the fridge was running fans running and no cool, but when her husband said, My mother said some guy was coming to check it out, I left nothing more. What could have happened i am wondering, you might think its out of freon since all was running
Just heard fan in freezer compartment running did not check the com,pressor since they had a ton of stuff on top and around it and the hubby saying mama had said some teck was coming over and thats when i did not check anything but its my grand kid and would like to know either way what could have been the problem
thanks

Hi. I want to say it is most likely fine since it was working prior to the door being left open. The frost is a sign of the Door being left open or possibly a defrost issue. Both of which would have been fixed by defrosting it. Did they unplug the unit and let it defrost with the doors open for 24 hours? The frost would block air circulation. We know that it was running since you heard the fan. So if there really is an issue with the unit it could be poor air flow due to a defrost system failure, compressor not running, or refrigerant leak.

Brian they did defrost it but since the fans were running the fan in the freezer compartment was i would assume the compressor was also running, like i said i did not look in the back . Could it be freon leaked out.?
