FCCS151F
Frigidaire FCCS151F Novelty Freezer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Packaged novelties that stick together or turn grainy
- Frost on the underside of the lid
- Dial that has little effect on cabinet temperature
- Compressor that runs hot or cycles often
Shops that store frozen novelties often run an FCCS151F, a food service grade chest freezer of 14.8 cu. ft. in white that is also sold as FCCS151FW. It is an older model that we see in shops, school kitchens and garages. The FCCG151F has the same capacity but a different number, so we do not assume parts match.
Novelties that stick together or turn grainy have usually warmed and refrozen, so we look for the cause of temperature swings. We start with the lid gasket and then measure the cabinet against the dial. A thermostat that no longer follows the setting is a straightforward replacement. We also check the condenser for dust and the start parts on the compressor when it runs hot or short cycles.
Before any part is bought we copy the number off the serial plate, since two freezers share this capacity. We write up the price first and cover the repair for 30 days.

Why have my frozen novelties turned grainy?
Grainy texture comes from thawing and refreezing. We look for the reason the cabinet warms, which is usually a gasket gap, a weak thermostat or a dirty condenser.
The dial does nothing when I turn it. Is the thermostat bad?
Possibly. We test the control with a meter and compare the cabinet temperature at different settings. If it does not respond, replacing the control is a short repair.
How is this different from the FCCG151F?
The capacity is the same, but the model number is different and some parts may not match. We use the label on your unit, not the capacity, to choose parts.
