Freezer will not maintain temperature. Ice will melt. Turn unit off, warm with a heat lamp, turn unit back on, compressor starts, ice will freeze for 12-24 hours, then melts again.

Hello Johnny, Thank you for the question. We first suggest testing the Defrost Thermostat. The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. If the Thermostat is good, you may have a Defrost Timer issue being stuck into a defrost mode. We hope this help's!
DO NOT BUY THIS PART! What you get for about $60 is a bracket to go on the left side of the door, at the bottom of the refrigerator section door, and a plastic insert that is necessary to hold the door open and closed. It isn't hard to take the old parts off and put on this new part. But it doesn't work because the manufacturer botched it, not PartSelect. The trouble is, the original bracket for the upper, or freezer door is reversible, you don't need a new one. But that upper hinge also has the same kind of plastic insert as the bottom hinge, and the parts kit doesn't include that part. It is necessary for reversing the door. You can't use the one that was originally on the right side. You need a mirror image of the original one for the other side. So all I could do is buy a second kit for the bottom, just to get that plastic insert. So to reverse the door on a $300 small refrigerator cost me about $120 in parts. I feel totally ripped off by Frigidaire, because they say in the manual that the door is reversible and, as a practical matter, it can only be done at a price that is ridiculous.
