frigidaire fridge model plhs269zdb1 ice maker overflows

customer complaint(s)... 1 major complaint when water dispensor is pressed the ice maker overflows with water
2 before the water problem the ice bucket always spilled ice over the edges

inspected unit, serial number indicated it was early production (2004)
these fridges had a problem with the ice bucket overflowing with ice

tested fridge for water problem(water to the icemaker during water dispence is a problem with the diodes), tested diodes and found one defective

replaced diodes with part #5303918287

the icemaker on this fridge has had several revisions for the bail arm to correct the too much ice problem, the latest fix is a redesigned icemaker

installed new icemaker part #5303918344

frigidaire freezer model plfu1778es not cooling

customer complaint... not cooling since we moved

tested freezer, unit was not cooling, compressor running
installed service valve on sealed system and checked guages, guages indicated unit was in a 30" vaccuum
unplugged freezer, pressure did not raise
advised customer sealed system was plugged, inquired how unit was transported and found out it had been laid on its back and plugged in imediatly after transport

advised customer to ship unit to shop so we could remove service dryer and flush system to see if it was salvagable without changing the heat exchanger

NEVER ship a fridge or freezer laid down!!!

frigidaire dishwasher model fdb510cfs1 loud squeeling noise
