Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For the Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator, the closest “hard reset” is restoring factory defaults from the control panel: press and hold Default Settings for 3 seconds. This resets refrigerator settings back to factory default values (it does not repair failed parts). See the LGHK2336TF7 owner's manual.

Fast reset options (most common)

• Factory default reset: Press and hold Default Settings for 3 seconds.
• Clear an alarm: Press Set to reset system alarms (for example, door ajar or flapper alarm).
• Power off cooling (not a reset): Press and hold Power On-Off for 3 seconds; the display reads “OFF”.
• Power cycle (useful after glitches): Unplug the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes, then plug it back in.

What each option actually does

Action	What it affects	When to use it
Default Settings (3 sec)	Returns settings to factory defaults	After control changes, odd temps, post-outage behavior
Set (tap)	Clears active alarms/indicators	Door ajar, high temp, flapper alarm
Power On-Off (3 sec)	Turns cooling system off/on	Cleaning, moving, service prep
Unplug 5 to 10 min	Reboots control board power	Frozen display, unresponsive keys

Why it matters

A true “hard reset” helps when the control panel is acting erratically after a power outage, a door-left-open event, or a settings change. If cooling or dispensing problems continue after a reset, the issue is usually mechanical or electrical (for example, a sensor, fan, or control board).

If problems continue after the reset

• Confirm doors fully close and seals are making contact.
• Check for active alarms and clear them with Set.
• Verify temperatures stabilize; allow 24 hours after major setting changes.
• If you see an error code, use Frigidaire refrigerator error codes to narrow the failure.
• For water or ice issues, confirm the filter is current; the control can show filter status and you can reset filter status by holding Set for 3 seconds.

On the Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator, EF points to an evaporator fan problem (often shown as SY EF or 5Y EF). It means the control is not seeing the expected evaporator fan operation, so cooling airflow through the freezer and fresh food sections can be affected.

What EF usually means and what to check first

The evaporator fan moves cold air across the evaporator coil and circulates it through the refrigerator. When EF shows up, we focus on airflow, the fan circuit, and anything that can stop the fan.

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power
• Check for airflow blockage: overpacked freezer, items touching the rear panel, or ice buildup
• Listen for the evaporator fan: a steady fan sound should be present when the compressor is running and the door switch is closed
• Inspect door sealing: a poor seal can cause frost buildup that interferes with airflow
• Look for heavy frost on the freezer back wall (a sign of a defrost or airflow issue)

For model-specific control and diagnostic guidance, follow the troubleshooting and “Before You Call” section in the LGHK2336TF7 owner’s manual.

Parts commonly involved (when EF keeps returning)

If the basic checks do not clear the code, these are the most common repair paths on this style of Frigidaire refrigerator:

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	What it affects
Loud rubbing or no fan sound	Evaporator fan blade	Fan cannot move air properly
Fan runs intermittently	Wiring or control issue	Fan power/signal drops out
Temps warm, fan seems OK	Temperature sensing/control	Control may misread conditions

If you find a damaged fan blade, the correct replacement for this model is the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010.

Why it matters

The evaporator fan is the refrigerator’s main airflow driver. When it is not running correctly, you can get warm temperatures, soft ice, uneven cooling, and frost buildup that leads to more frequent problems.

The most common problem we see on Frigidaire refrigerators like model LGHK2336TF7 is a cooling complaint (fresh food section too warm, freezer OK) caused by restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, or defrost-related ice buildup. Ice maker and water dispenser issues are also very common; the LGHK2336TF7 owner’s manual “Before You Call” section covers the top checks.

Most common symptoms customers report

• Refrigerator section warm but freezer still cold
• Frost or ice buildup that blocks airflow
• Ice maker not making ice or making small/hollow cubes
• Water dispenser flow slow (often filter-related)
• Compressor seems to run “too much” (often normal on variable-speed models)

Quick checks that fix many “common problems”

1. Confirm temperatures: set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F, then allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check airflow: do not block vents with food packages; poor circulation mimics a cooling failure.
3. Clean condenser area: dust buildup raises temperatures and run time.
4. Look for frost buildup: heavy frost on the freezer back wall points to a defrost/airflow issue.
5. For ice maker issues: verify the ice maker is ON, the water valve is open, and the supply line is not kinked.
6. For slow water or small/hollow ice: reseat or replace the filter; a clogged filter is a frequent cause.

Ice and water problems: what to check first

The manual calls out several repeat causes: ice maker OFF, water valve closed, kinked supply line, and a filter that is not seated or is clogged.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best first step
No ice	Ice maker OFF or no water supply	Turn ice maker ON; confirm valve open
Small/hollow cubes	Restricted water flow	Replace/seat filter; check for kinks
Dispenser won’t dispense ice	Door not fully closed or lock engaged	Close doors fully; disable lock

Relevant parts customers commonly replace include the refrigerator ice maker assembly 243297613 and the refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01.

Why it matters

Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root causes: airflow restrictions, dirty heat-exchange surfaces, or restricted water flow. Catching those early helps prevent food spoilage, nuisance alarms, and repeated ice jams.

On the Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator, defrost is typically controlled by the electronic control system rather than a separate, serviceable defrost timer. For your exact defrost-control layout and access points, follow the disassembly and control information in the LGHK2336TF7 owner's manual.

What you will usually find on this model

Many Frigidaire side-by-side designs like LGHK2336TF7 use an adaptive defrost strategy managed by the main control board, so there is no standalone timer mounted in the control housing like older refrigerators.

Common defrost-related components you may be troubleshooting instead:

• Electronic control board (manages defrost cycles)
• Defrost heater and defrost thermostat (or sensor)
• Temperature sensor (thermistor) inputs
• Evaporator fan and airflow components

Where to look if you are chasing a “defrost timer” symptom

If you are seeing frost buildup, warm freezer temps, or poor airflow, focus your checks on the areas where defrost and airflow parts live:

• Fresh food control area (behind the temperature control panel) for control wiring and board access
• Freezer rear panel (behind the evaporator cover) for frost pattern and airflow
• Bottom rear (machine compartment) for condenser fan, compressor area, and wiring connections

Before opening panels:

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power at the breaker
• Protect floors; melting frost can drip
• Use a hair dryer carefully (low heat, keep moving) if you need to thaw ice for inspection

Quick troubleshooting checklist (no timer required)

Use this list to narrow the cause of frost or warm temps:

• Confirm doors seal tightly and close fully
• Check for blocked vents and overpacked shelves
• Listen for the evaporator fan running when the door switch is pressed
• Look for heavy frost behind the freezer back panel (defrost issue)
• Verify temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes

Helpful part to consider

If temperature readings are erratic or the unit cycles oddly, a sensor can be involved. For this model, the refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 is a common temperature-input part used in troubleshooting.

Why it matters

A true mechanical defrost timer can be manually advanced for diagnosis, but an electronically controlled defrost system requires different checks (frost pattern, fan operation, sensor inputs, and control behavior). Using the correct approach prevents unnecessary part replacement.

What you are looking for	Older design	LGHK2336TF7 typical design
Separate defrost timer	Common	Usually not used
Defrost controlled by	Timer motor/cam	Electronic control system
Best first check	Advance timer	Inspect frost pattern and airflow

Yes. Looking up parts by model number is the most accurate way to get compatible replacement parts for your Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator because it filters results to the exact configuration (ice maker, dispenser, shelves, filters) used on your unit. Use the complete model number from the data tag, then confirm the part name and ID before ordering.

How to find and use the model number

On LGHK2336TF7, use the full model number exactly as shown on the refrigerator’s identification label, then use it to narrow parts to your specific build.

• Write the model number exactly (letters and numbers, no spaces)
• Use the model number to pull up the correct parts list and diagrams
• Match the part by part name and part ID, not by appearance alone
• Double-check finish and configuration (for example, dispenser features)
• Keep your serial number handy in case a part has revisions

Parts you can commonly identify by model lookup

Model-based lookup is especially helpful for parts that vary by version, such as filters and ice maker components.

What you need	Example for LGHK2336TF7	When to replace/check
Water filtration	Refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01	Low flow, bad taste, filter status says Replace
Air filtration	Refrigerator air filter EAFCBF	Odors, air filter status says Replace
Ice production	Refrigerator ice maker assembly 243297613	No ice, small cubes, intermittent harvest

Why it matters

Using the model number prevents ordering a “close match” that does not fit your housing, wiring harness, or dispenser setup. It also helps you choose the correct filter style and reset the filter indicators correctly.

Quick tip: confirm settings after installing parts

After installing certain parts (especially filters), follow the control and reset steps in the LGHK2336TF7 owner’s manual. The manual also lists recommended temperatures (typically 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer) and explains how to reset water and air filter status.

If your Frigidaire LGHK2336TF7 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker is not making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, the water supply valve being closed, a kinked water line, or a water filter that is clogged or not seated correctly. Use the steps below from the LGHK2336TF7 owner's manual to restore ice production.

Quick checks (most fixes)

• Turn the ice maker ON: press and hold the ON-OFF button for 3 seconds until the indicator light is on.
• Confirm the refrigerator is connected to the household water supply and the shutoff valve is fully open.
• Pull the refrigerator out slightly and check for a kinked supply line.
• Reseat the water filter; an unseated filter can stop water flow to the ice maker.
• Replace the filter if water dispenses slowly or the filter is 6 months old or older.
• Dump old ice and let the ice maker refill; using ice at least twice weekly helps prevent clumping and jams.

How to reseat the water filter (model-typical steps)

The manual procedure for this style of Frigidaire filter is:

• Rotate the filter counterclockwise (left) 90 degrees to remove.
• Slide it back into the housing fully with the grip end horizontal.
• Push in lightly while rotating clockwise (right).
• Rotate 90 degrees until it stops; the grip end ends up vertical (you may feel a light click).

Symptom	What it usually means	What we do next
No ice at all	Ice maker OFF or no water supply	Turn ON, open valve, unkink line
Small/hollow cubes	Not enough water reaching ice maker	Replace filter, check supply restriction
Slow/no water at dispenser too	Filter clogged or not seated	Reseat or replace filter

Parts that commonly solve “no ice”

If the basics check out and you still have no ice, these model-matched parts are common next steps:

• Refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01 (clogged filter or poor seating)
• Refrigerator ice maker assembly 243297613 (ice maker not cycling)

Why it matters

An ice maker needs steady water flow and a cold freezer to cycle correctly. A partially restricted filter or kinked line can stop ice production completely or cause hollow cubes and slow output.
