Incident: I was home with my children yesterday when smoke started billowing out of my refrigerator. I could smell the electric burn of some part of the appliance. The refrigerator is only three years old to the month, after having a repair man out he said the compressor starter burned out and that's what the electric fire smell was and what causes the smoke. My refrigerator is a Frigidaire, serial number 4A32216616. It is a side by side, model number FFHS2611LW7.
