Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire FGHS2631PF1 side-by-side refrigerator, we look up the full model number to pull the correct parts list and diagrams so you can match the exact replacement part (like a door gasket, water inlet valve, or air filter) to your refrigerator.
Most Frigidaire side-by-side model/serial tags are inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall) or near the crisper area.
- Open the refrigerator door and check the inside walls
- Look near the crisper drawers or the ceiling area
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
- Use the full model number, not just the series name
- If the tag is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in
When we use FGHS2631PF1, we can narrow results to parts designed for your exact configuration (dispenser, ice maker style, door color options, and internal shelving layout).
| What you enter | What you get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Full model number (FGHS2631PF1) | Correct parts list and diagrams | Best match for fit and wiring |
| Partial model (FGHS2631) | Mixed results | Higher risk of ordering the wrong part |
| Part number only | One specific part | Works only if you already have the exact number |
These are examples of model-matched parts you may see listed for this refrigerator:
- Refrigerator door air filter EAFCBF (odor control)
- Frigidaire refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702 (water to dispenser and ice maker)
- Refrigerator freezer door gasket (gray) 241786014 (improves sealing and temperature stability)
For part locations, exploded views, and part descriptions, use the owner's manual.
Using the exact model number helps prevent returns and repeat repairs; side-by-side refrigerators often have similar-looking parts that differ by connector style, mounting points, or door configuration.

How much does it cost to repair a Frigidaire refrigerator?
For a Frigidaire FGHS2631PF1 side-by-side refrigerator, most common repairs typically land in the $200 to $400 range (parts plus labor), while major failures such as a compressor or sealed-system repair can push the total to $800 to $1,500+. For model-specific access panels, diagnostics, and reset steps, use the FGHS2631PF1 owner's manual.
These ranges reflect what we see most often for side-by-side refrigerators; your total depends on the failed part, access time, and local labor rates.
- Service call/diagnostic fee: $75 to $150
- Minor repairs (adjustments, simple electrical, small leaks): $150 to $300
- Mid-level repairs (fans, valves, sensors, ice maker issues): $250 to $600
- Major repairs (control board, dispenser electronics): $400 to $900
- Compressor or sealed system work: $800 to $1,500+
| Repair type | Common symptoms | Typical total cost |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow or cooling fan related | Warm fridge, noisy fan | $250 to $600 |
| Water/ice supply related | No ice, no water, leaking | $250 to $600 |
| Temperature sensing/control | Temps swing, error codes | $250 to $900 |
| Sealed system/compressor | Not cooling, runs constantly | $800 to $1,500+ |
If one of these parts is the cause, the repair often stays in the “mid-level” range unless additional issues are found.
- Frigidaire refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702 (water dispenser and ice maker fill problems)
- Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (temperature regulation issues)
- Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (airflow and cooling performance)
- Refrigerator electronic control board 5304497976 (cooling logic, defrost timing, some error conditions)
A practical rule for refrigerators is to repair when the fix is straightforward and the unit is otherwise in good shape.
- Repair makes sense when:
- The estimate is under 50% of the cost of a comparable replacement
- The problem is a single, accessible part (valve, sensor, fan, gasket)
- The cabinet and doors seal well and there is no ongoing water damage
- Replacement makes sense when:
- The issue is compressor/sealed system and the estimate is high
- Multiple major components are failing (cooling plus electronics plus ice/water)
- Parts and labor together approach the cost of a new refrigerator
Refrigerator repairs vary widely because labor time changes dramatically depending on where the failed component sits (rear machine compartment vs. inside the freezer wall) and whether the job involves sealed-system work, which requires specialized tools.

What is the most common problem with Frigidaire refrigerators?
The most common Frigidaire refrigerator problem is a cooling complaint (fresh food section warm, freezer too warm, or heavy frost), usually tied to airflow or heat removal issues like dirty condenser coils, a weak evaporator fan, or a leaking door gasket. On models like FGHS2631PF1, ice maker and dispenser water issues are also very common.
- Warm refrigerator, freezer seems OK: check for blocked vents, overpacked shelves, and weak airflow from the evaporator fan area.
- Both sections warm: clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser fan is running.
- Frost buildup on freezer back wall: points to a defrost system or airflow problem.
- Door not sealing: inspect gaskets for gaps, tears, or warping.
- Ice maker not making ice or slow ice: verify household water supply is on and strong; then check for valve or ice maker problems.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Common next step |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh food warm, freezer cold | Airflow/evaporator area | Check fan noise and airflow; clear vents |
| Freezer frost, poor cooling | Defrost/airflow | Defrost fully, then monitor return of frost |
| Water dispenser weak | Water supply/valve | Purge air; check inlet valve function |
| Door sweating or ice at edges | Door seal | Inspect and reseat gasket |
When troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (airflow problems)
- Frigidaire refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702 (ice maker or dispenser water issues)
- Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 241786013 or refrigerator freezer door gasket (gray) 241786014 (seal and frost issues)
- Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (temperature swings)
Cooling and airflow problems make the compressor run longer, raise food temperatures, and can cause frost or leaks. Catching a dirty coil, weak fan, or bad gasket early helps protect food and reduces wear on the sealed system.
- Use the owner's manual for control settings, recommended temperatures, and feature operation.
- For dispenser and filter-related issues, follow how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator.
