Frigidaire Appliance Repair in Miami & South Florida

Your Frigidaire Gallery side-by-side starts beeping at midnight in your Pembroke Pines kitchen. The display reads “HI” on the fresh-food side and “OP” on the freezer. By morning you’ve got water on the floor from the ice maker line and the freezer is running 28 degrees. Frigidaire is one of the most common refrigerators in entry-level and mid-market South Florida — landlord favorite, builder favorite, and the brand that owns the under-$1,500 fridge segment. The HI/OP error pattern is well-known and points to specific failures we can diagnose in under 15 minutes. We service the full Frigidaire and Frigidaire Gallery line: refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers, and freezers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Call (754) 345-4515 and we’ll have a tech out fast.

About Frigidaire

Frigidaire was founded in 1916 as the Guardian Frigerator Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and was the first company to mass-produce self-contained electric refrigerators. Electrolux acquired Frigidaire in 1986 and the brand has been the value-tier flagship of the Electrolux group in North America ever since. Frigidaire and Frigidaire Gallery sit in the mainstream and lower-mid-market — they’re priced aggressively, available everywhere, and easy to service. The current lineup includes the FFSS and FFHS side-by-side fridges, the FFHB and FGHB French-door fridges, the FFEF and FGEF ranges, the FFBD and FGID dishwashers, and the FFTR top-freezer fridges that dominate the rental market. Frigidaire is the brand you’ll see in just about every Hialeah condo flip, every Hollywood and Pembroke Pines starter home, every Homestead and Cutler Bay newer-construction development, and a fair share of Coral Springs, Sunrise, and Plantation tract homes.

Common Frigidaire Problems We Fix

Frigidaire failure modes are well-documented:

• HI / OP display errors on side-by-side and French-door. HI means the fresh-food side is reading high temperature; OP means the freezer sensor is open (failed). Sensor failure is the most common root cause. About a 30-minute fix.
• Adaptive defrost board failure. Frost wall on the freezer back panel because defrost never runs. Board replacement restores normal operation.
• Ice maker stops harvesting. The icemaker module or the inlet water valve. Both are stocked.
• Water inlet valve failure. No water from the dispenser or no fill to the icemaker. About 35 minutes.
• Compressor relay failure. Common on the FFSS and FFHB. Relay replacement is straightforward.
• Range F10, F11 error codes. F10 is over-temp, F11 is keypad short. Sensor and ERC board are common stocked parts.
• Frigidaire Gallery induction cooktop F47 over-temp. Power module overheats. Cooling fan filter is often the root cause — easy fix.
• Dishwasher won’t drain (i30 or no code). Drain pump impeller or check valve.
• Front-load washer E20 drain fault. Pump or hose obstruction. Same diagnostic as other front-loaders.
• Dryer no heat (electric). Heating element burnout. Visible orange break on the coil.
• Dryer thermal fuse trip. Vent blockage in the wall vent caused over-temp. We replace the fuse and recommend the vent be cleaned.

FAQ

My Frigidaire shows HI and OP — is it dead?
Not even close. HI/OP is almost always a temperature sensor failure. About a 30-minute repair, well under $250 in parts and labor.

Is a Frigidaire worth fixing?
For most repairs under $350, yes. The cabinets last 12-15 years and the platforms are well-supported with parts.

My Frigidaire ice maker stopped — bad icemaker or bad water valve?
Test the water flow first. If water dispenses from the door but no ice, the icemaker module is suspect. If water doesn’t dispense either, the inlet valve is the problem.

Range F10 keeps coming back after I unplugged it — board?
Yes. F10 stuck on means the oven sensor is reporting over-temp constantly. Either the sensor failed shorted or the ERC board has a stuck relay. We meter both.

Will you service Frigidaire in rental units?
Yes. We do a lot of Frigidaire work for property managers and landlords across South Florida. Same pricing, same warranty.

My washer pump won’t start but the basket fills with water — drain pump?
Yes. Frigidaire front-loaders use a separate drain pump from the fill system. Pump failure is the common cause when fill works but drain doesn’t.

Frigidaire Maintenance Notes

Frigidaire refrigerators benefit from twice-yearly condenser cleaning. The coils are usually behind a kick plate at the front bottom or behind the back panel — vacuum the dust and pet hair out with a brush attachment. Clogged coils are the leading cause of compressor failure in South Florida’s hot, humid climate.

For Gallery induction cooktops, keep the cooling fan air intake clear of dust. The intake is usually at the front of the cooktop, behind a small grille. Vacuum monthly.

Top-load washers benefit from a monthly cleaning cycle with affresh tablets. Front-loaders need gasket maintenance — wipe monthly, leave the door cracked.

Dishwashers benefit from monthly citric-acid maintenance cycles. Check the chopper blade and filter every 3 months.

For dryers, vent cleaning every 12-18 months is critical in Miami. Lint clumps up faster in humid climates.

Frigidaire in the South Florida Rental Market

Frigidaire dominates the South Florida rental market because the price point and the parts availability make it the easiest brand for a landlord to maintain. A standard Frigidaire top-freezer fridge runs $700-$900 installed; a side-by-side or French-door is $1,200-$1,800. The parts catalog is universally available and most appliance shops can service the platform. We work with a lot of property managers in Hialeah, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Homestead on consolidated Frigidaire service — we keep dedicated trucks stocked for property-management calls and offer NET-30 billing with credit approval. Volume pricing kicks in for landlords with 10+ units in service. If you’re a property manager dealing with frequent Frigidaire calls across multiple units, we can probably consolidate the spend and reduce per-visit costs significantly.

Where Frigidaire Lives in South Florida

Mainstream homeowner, builder spec, rental. Frigidaire is the volume value brand under the Electrolux umbrella. Builder packages in Doral, Hialeah, Homestead, and the newer Cooper City subdivisions routinely spec Frigidaire to hit price points. The FFHB2750 French-door and the FFEF3054 electric range are our highest-volume Frigidaire service calls. Rental property managers across North Miami and Hollywood lean Frigidaire for the parts pipeline depth at lower per-unit cost than GE or Whirlpool.

Frigidaire Service Interval Recommendations

The cadences below come from our field experience on Frigidaire in South Florida — humidity, salt air, and high-traffic kitchens push intervals tighter than the manufacturer manuals usually publish.

Item	Recommended cadence
Fridge condenser cleaning	every 6 months
Front-load gasket wipe	weekly
Dishwasher filter rinse	every 30 cycles
Range surface element check	every 12 months
Dryer wall vent cleaning	every 18 months
Ice maker fill tube inspection	every 12 months

Frigidaire and the South Florida Climate

Frigidaire evap fan motors (5303918549) cluster in failures during August-September after wet-season humidity peak. The bearing design absorbs moisture and seizes. We carry 4-6 of these on the truck during peak season. Range cooling fan motors (318074550) show similar humidity sensitivity on units installed in garage kitchens or ungated outdoor kitchens in Pembroke Pines and Plantation.

Frigidaire Extended Repair Pricing

Pricing below is the working range our techs see on Frigidaire in 2026 across South Florida. The bottom of each range is a straightforward part-swap; the top accounts for harder access, additional diagnostics, or rare-stock parts that require special-order fulfillment.

Repair	Typical range
Evap fan motor 5303918549	$245-$340
Defrost board 5304498695	$285-$385
Range cooling fan 318074550	$185-$285
Surface element receptacle 318578001	$185-$245

Microwave magnetron 5304523018	$285-$420

What Happens on the First Frigidaire Visit

Every Frigidaire call starts the same way. The tech confirms the model and serial number on the data plate, photographs the install for the file, and asks two or three diagnostic questions before pulling the unit. Bringing the right error code, the unit’s age, and any recent power events (lightning, brown-out, breaker trip) to the call cuts diagnostic time roughly in half. Most Frigidaire repairs finish on the first visit if the model is current production and the failure matches a common pattern. Sealed-system work, control-board replacements, or specialty parts that need to ship from outside our local warehouse can stretch to a return visit.

Before the tech leaves, you get a written estimate with the part number, the labor charge, the warranty coverage, and the expected completion date if a part needs to be ordered. We don’t charge for the estimate beyond the $59 service call (which applies to the repair if you approve the quote). If the unit isn’t worth repairing — which happens occasionally on Frigidaire units past the 15-20 year mark — we say so plainly and refund any deposit beyond the service call. Honest repair-vs-replace math is a core part of how we work.
