All modern Frigidaire fridges have internal sensors that monitor the performance of the fridge and when something is wrong, an error code is displayed so you know what’s wrong and what you need to do to fix it.
One such error code that Frigidaire fridges display is H1. The H1 error code means that the freezer sensor has shorted. To fix the underlying cause of the problem, you need to check the thermistor and if it’s defective, replace it.
The purpose of the thermistor in your fridge is to monitor the temperature and send the readings to the control board. The control board then tells other components to turn on or off to keep your fridge at the correct temperature. When the thermistor stops working correctly, it might send incorrect temperature readings to the control panel or not send any signals at all, which will cause an H1 error code to be displayed.
To remove the H1 error code on your Frigidaire fridge, you need to locate and test the thermistor and if you find it has stopped working, it will need to be replaced.
Here’s how to test the thermistor:

After you plug your Frigidaire fridge back into the power socket, check if the error code has stopped showing on the display screen. If the H1 error code is still showing, reset your fridge to see if that removes the error code. If your fridge still displays the H1 error code even after a reset, you’ll need to have a technician come and inspect your fridge.
