SY EF and a warm fridge
SY EF points to the evaporator fan circuit. When that fan stops, frost builds on the coil and the fridge side warms first.

What goes wrong with Frigidaire fridges
The Frigidaire problems Lufkin callers describe most, and what usually causes them.
Water under the fridge
A defrost drain that freezes over sends meltwater onto the floor or under the crisper drawers.

Chirping or rattling from the freezer side is often the evaporator fan hitting ice, or a worn fan motor.

FAQ
Frigidaire repair questions
My Frigidaire side-by-side leaks every few weeks. Why?
The defrost drain under the freezer floor often freezes or clogs, so meltwater overflows. Clearing it helps for a while. Fixing why it froze stops it coming back.
What does SY EF mean?
It points to the evaporator fan circuit. It could be the fan motor, the wiring or the control board, which is why it needs testing rather than guessing at parts.
Do you repair Frigidaire Professional models?
Yes. The Professional and Gallery lines use the same cooling basics.
Do you fix other brands too?
Yes, all major brands, including Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire and Kenmore. See the list at the bottom of this page.
