High Temperature in Refrigerator Compartment
Quick Answer
Error code H1 on your Frigidaire Refrigerators means: High Temperature in Refrigerator Compartment. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Refrigerator door has been left open or the gasket has a gap allowing warm air in
  2. Evaporator fan is not running, so cold air is not being circulated to the fridge section
  3. Air damper between the freezer and fridge is stuck closed
  4. Condenser coils are dirty, reducing overall cooling capacity
  5. Compressor is not running or is not compressing refrigerant effectively
How to Fix It
1
Verify the refrigerator door closes fully and the gasket seals around the entire perimeter with no gaps
2
Clean the condenser coils underneath or behind the refrigerator with a coil brush and vacuum
3
Check that the evaporator fan is running when the door is closed; if not, troubleshoot using the SY EF procedure
4
Inspect the air damper assembly between the freezer and fridge to ensure it opens properly
5
If all components check out, the refrigerant system may need professional service
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
