Common Frigidaire error codes and issues
Frigidaire refrigerators show alarm codes on the temperature display, usually with a beep. Here are the ones we see most on Altoona service calls.
The most common Frigidaire fault — a problem in the evaporator fan circuit. Often a seized motor, a pinched wire harness, or heavy ice blocking the fan blades.
A communication error between the display and the main control board. If unplugging doesn't clear it, the wiring or board itself likely needs attention.
A sensor is reading "open" — usually a failed thermistor that's no longer relaying accurate temperature data to the control board.
The opposite issue — a shorted temperature sensor. Both OP and SH point to the same component family, just different failure types.
A high-temperature alarm. This is almost always downstream of another issue, most often the evaporator fan or defrost system.
Usually means the defrost heater has also failed, letting ice build back up around the new fan within weeks — worth checking both together.

Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux and many models share the same platform and error codes. See our Electrolux repair page for that brand specifically.
No — this alarm means the unit has been above the safe temperature for a while, even if it feels okay to the touch. It's worth having it checked before food safety becomes a concern.
This usually points to a failed defrost heater letting ice build back up around the new fan, or a wiring issue the control board can't detect around. Worth a full diagnostic rather than swapping the fan again.
