Where Frigidaire lives around here
Frigidaire is the appliance you find when you open a rental near Saint Martin’s or a duplex on the Eastside: the top-freezer refrigerator with the wire shelves, the coil-top range, the plastic-tub dishwasher. It is also the upright freezer humming in a garage on Long Lake and the second refrigerator in a Mullen Rd shop, and the Gallery line in kitchens that were remodeled on a sensible budget in Tumwater and Yelm. Electrolux owns the name and shares parts across both. Frigidaire builds plainly. The refrigerators use a defrost timer or a simple board, a heater and a thermostat; the ranges use an element or an igniter and a sensor. Plain machines fail plainly, and most repairs are one part.
The garage is where Frigidaire earns its keep and where it fails. A garage in the Lakes district sits near 45 degrees all winter, and a Frigidaire refrigerator out there can quit running its compressor when the thermostat is fooled into believing the box has cooled, and the freezer side thaws. Come the short July heat wave, the same garage hits 95 and a tired condenser gives up. Frigidaire ranges on propane in Rainier and Tenino need their orifices right or they burn dirty. Well water around Yelm scales the dishwasher heater, and the windstorms that roll through from November on take out the occasional control board on a Gallery range in East Olympia.
Frigidaire faults we see most
| Appliance | Typical failure | Our repair |
|---|---|---|
| Top-freezer refrigerator | Defrost heater, thermostat or timer fails; frost on the freezer floor, fridge side warm | Meter the defrost circuit, swap the part that failed, clear the coil |
| Upright garage freezer | Compressor start relay or the thermostat fails in a cold or hot garage | Check relay and compressor, fit a new relay or control as needed, inspect the door seal |
| Side-by-side refrigerator | Evaporator fan seizes or the ice maker fill valve scales shut | Replace the fan, descale or replace the valve, confirm a harvest |
| Coil-top or glass-top range | The bake element burns open, or the oven sensor drifts out of range and throws F30 | Ohm the element and sensor, replace, prove the temperature on a thermometer |
| Gas range | Igniter weak or the burner spark module wet; on propane, bad orifices | Amp-test the igniter, replace, check the conversion and the flame color |
| Dishwasher | Drain pump or wash motor fails; heater scaled on well water | Replace the pump or motor, descale or replace the heater, check the fill |
Frigidaire appliance repair done simply
Frigidaire machines do not hide much, so the diagnosis is mostly meter work. On a refrigerator, a thermometer goes into each side, the freezer back panel comes off for a look at the coil, and the defrost heater, thermostat and timer or board are read in turn. On a range it is the element or igniter and the sensor, with a thermometer in the oven for a full preheat. On a dishwasher it is the pump, the heater and the float. Because Frigidaire parts are shared across many years of models, the van carries the defrost heaters, thermostats, start relays, fans, elements, igniters and pumps that cover most repairs in one visit. Anything we have to order is installed on a second visit at no added charge.
We are an independent Lacey shop with no tie to Frigidaire or Electrolux. Should the manufacturer’s warranty still apply to your machine, we say so up front, because using it may cost you less. Landlords with Frigidaire in a rental off Lilly Rd or a fourplex near Evergreen approve the written figure by phone, then receive photos, the invoice and the warranty in an email, while all the tenant does is unlock the door. Approve the repair and the diagnosis fee already lives within that figure. Decline it, and that fee makes up your entire bill. Every Frigidaire repair is priced after the diagnosis, in writing, as one number.
Frigidaire questions
Do you repair Frigidaire refrigerators in Lacey rentals?
Yes, a great many. The Frigidaire top-freezer is the standard rental refrigerator near Saint Martin’s and along Pacific Ave, and the defrost parts that fix most of them are on the van. By phone the owner answers yes to the quoted repair number, and the paperwork follows by email.
My Frigidaire garage freezer in Olympia thawed out over winter. Why?
Cold garage. A Frigidaire freezer or refrigerator in a garage at 45 degrees can stop running because its thermostat is satisfied, and the freezer thaws while the compressor sits idle. Some models have a garage kit that fixes this; on others the control needs replacing. We tell you which.
Are you a Frigidaire service center?
No. We are independent, based in Lacey, and not affiliated with Frigidaire or Electrolux. We do not bill them for coverage repairs, and we tell you when their coverage should apply so you can use it. Everything outside it, we repair ourselves.
Is an old Frigidaire range worth fixing?
Often it is the most sensible repair we do. A bake element or an igniter on a coil-top Frigidaire from a 1970s ranch on Ruddell Rd is a bounded job on a machine with little else to fail. We write the number down and tell you if there is a second problem in the wings.
How much is a Frigidaire repair in Olympia?
One visit fee to diagnose, in Olympia and anywhere in the ring, and dispatch tells you the amount when you book. Once the diagnosis is done, the technician writes a single repair number, and that fee has a place inside the total from the beginning. Repair prices are not quoted by phone because the failed part decides the job.

From the first phone call to the last test cycle
- You reach out
Dispatch picks a two-hour slot with you, most often today or tomorrow, and calls again once the van rolls away from the shop on Marvin Rd.
- Measure first
An amp clamp, thermometer or ohmmeter goes on the machine before anyone says what is wrong. Then the dead part gets named in words anyone can follow.
- The number, written
Repair cost goes on the ticket as one total with the visit fee already baked in. Say yes or say no; nobody bills by the hour while you think.
- Repair on the spot
Pumps, valves, heaters, igniters, rollers and boards for the usual models travel in the bins behind the driver, which closes most jobs on that first stop. A part on order means a second trip at no added charge.
- Test and paperwork
You watch a full cycle run, the floor and panels are left as we found them, and an emailed invoice carries the written warranty term.
Frigidaire trouble: one call, one written price.
One call sets a two-hour window. The technician arrives with a meter, the fix is priced on the ticket with the visit fee already tucked into it, and the invoice spells out the warranty. Yelm and Ruddell Rd get identical terms.
