The most common reasons your Frigidaire freezer is not working are a failed compressor, malfunctioning electronic control board or a faulty condenser fan motor.
Be sure to check the electrical outlet, thermostat and airflow around vents. Cooling problems can also be caused by dust on condenser coils, faulty gaskets, clearance space around the refrigerator, a broken or stuck condenser fan or a faulty circuit board.
Your freezer should last an average of 10–15 years. Depending on how you use it, take care of it, and store it, your freezer might even last a little longer.
Wait several minutes, then plug the freezer back in and restore power to the control panel switch. Set your freezer to your preferred temperature settings and allow it to cool. It can take up to 24 hours for its temperature to stabilize, depending on how long the unit was without power.
Turn off the refrigerator and freezer from the control panel. After unplugging the refrigerator, turn off the fridge and freezer using the control panel inside the fridge. To do so, set the controls to “zero" or switch them off entirely. Once you're done, you can plug your refrigerator back into the wall socket.
Shutting off the power to the refrigerator will give all of its systems—including the compressor—time to reset. Power down your refrigerator by unplugging it from the wall or shutting off the circuit breaker connected to the fridge. Leave the unit unplugged for five to ten minutes.
Reset your refrigerator: First, unplug it (or turn off the power at the circuit breaker), and then wait about five minutes for the electrical charge to clear out of it. Then, power it back on again.
Use the Reset Button
Put rags and the ice bucket beneath your ice maker to prevent water from accumulating during these tests. Flip the ice maker switch off for 5 seconds, then flip it on. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.

For refrigerators with electronic controls (most Side-by-Side and French-Door refrigerators) – Fresh food compartment should be set for 37 degrees Fahrenheit and the freezer should be set for 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
If the environment is too cold, the freezer may not get sufficient run time to maintain its temperature. If the temperature is too warm, the appliance will have a hard time getting the interior down to the desired temperature. Dirty condenser coils or a broken fan motor can also cause insufficient freezing.
Place hot water (in bowls or glasses) inside your freezer section of your appliance, making sure you have plenty of towels and a suitable container for the water that will be created from thawing ice. Wait for the freezer to defrost. This can take several hours.
If your fridge is not cooling but the light is on, your freezer may have an icy build-up. Unplugging your refrigerator may be a good troubleshooting move. The ice may be blocking a vent in the freezer that's preventing your refrigerator portion from properly cooling.
Sometimes you can troubleshoot a freezer that's not freezing by simply reorganizing the shelves. Overpacked freezer shelves can block proper airflow, which can alter the internal temperature. Avoid overfilling your freezer and keep the evaporator fan unobstructed.
A Frigidaire freezer not freezing is most often caused by dirty condenser coils, a worn-down gasket, or a faulty thermostat, which result in higher temperatures inside the refrigerator and inadequate airflow.
