Brand

Frigidaire

Age

1-5 years

So woke up to alarm with fridge "H".
Here's what I have tested and looked at so far.

Pulled starter relay/capacitor to compressor - relay was around around 10 OHMS from memory...... Done have a farday tester but put it on 2million ohms and saw the figures rise
Checked fan on inside of freezer - working fine.

thoughts on most likely next steps ?

Is there a way to test damper

Definately tracked down to the damper door.
Pulled the unit and the door is slammed shut .........
turned unit back on and cold air could be felt through blend door ....................... have cold fridge this morning and no alarm.
Got to work out why its closing the door Temp sensor or bad motor or something -

Thanks Dan ^^^ - appreciated - confirms problem with error 4 on cycle.
Is there any way above that to test why it cant open/close - meaning is it a motor issue or a signal issue. Hate to purchase a $100 unit to find out its something else ......

I do not know of a way to physically test it. The tech sheet has the wiring diagram so maybe you can figure out how from that?
