Frigidaire FRFG1723AV questions

Hello, I recently got a Frigidaire FRFG1723AV and had a few questions regarding it: Is it normal to not have a panel in the bottom rear (where the compressor and wires are) and have it exposed? 2. Whenever I open the door of the fridge or freezer, the noise stops (compressor and fan), is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @robertthegreat

Don't know the model but with some refrigerators the compressor is open to view but mostly they're behind a removable panel. Mostly the panels are made of light steel but have seen some made of a stiff cardboard type material. Are there any screw holes, clips etc to be seen on the cabinet which may be where the panel could be attached to?

The parts list doesn't show one or at least none that I could find. There is a cover over the control board though - see part #6 System Diagram

Usually in most refrigerators the evaporator fan is stopped when either door is opened as you don't want to blow any cold air out from the compartments and will start again when the doors are closed The compressor will keep on running however as it would reduce wear and tear by not having it continually stop and start every time a door was opened and shut.

The only times that the compressor and the evaporator fan are both turned off is when the compartments have reached their set operating temperatures as no further cooling is required until the temp rises above the set upper limit and then they will be both turned on again or when the refrigerator is in an auto defrost cycle.

With most refrigerators an auto defrost cycle occurs approx. every 8-10 hours (depends on make and model - either consecutive hours or cumulative compressor run time hours).

During this time, the compressor and the evap fan are both turned off and the defrost heater is turned on to melt any ice build up on the evaporator unit. The meltwater then drains down to the evap pan under the compartments to evaporate naturally. After the defrost cycle has ended - approx. 20-25 minutes, the defrost heater is turned off and the compressor and evap fan are turned on again to drive the temps back down again to their set operating temps. The defrost sensor is used to ensure that the temp near the evap unit doesn't get too high i.e. >46°F, and it will signal the control board to turn off the heater if it does, so as not to damage the evap unit.

Here's the service data sheet for the refrigerator that may help.

It shows how to run the diagnostic tests so that you can check if most of the functions are working correctly.

Start by checking that both the door switches are working OK - test display 23 (FF) and 24 (FRZ)

Unfortunately the schematic is fairly basic so it doesn't show whether the door switches directly affect the compressor and evap fan operation. It only shows that they connect to the control board but presumably like in most refrigerators they are used to signal the control board to turn on/off the lights and also to stop/start the evap fan depending on the state of the doors i.e. open/closed.

Hopefully this is of some help.

the unit has no fan so there is no moving components to cover . electrolux ships with no cover . they define it as static cooled condensor .
