Richard B Shoreline , WA October 11, 2016 Ice maker door not sealing causing frost buildup and leaking I wasn't sure if it was the door being warped, the spring return being worn, or the rotary damper failing, so I ordered all to update the door mechanism. I also ordered a new micro switch since one of the switches had started to require more and more pressure to actuate. Figured I'd fix it at the same time. Repair was very straightforward and the videos available on this and other repair sites were very helpful. I found a video that showed replacing the door mechanism on a nearly identical model to my fridge, and it helped with all aspects of the repair. Only minor issue I had on my model was that the water supply line was VERY short and the hole was very tight. I solved this by extending the line with a slightly smaller diameter tubing. I was able to slide the smaller tubing into the old one, and then feed that through the opening. Will make any future repairs much easier. And, the results are fantastic - since I replaced it all, I don't know what part was failing, but now I get that satisfactory 'thump' sealing noise on the ice door, and visual inspection shows no air leakage.

Amy C Freeville , NY February 21, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator FFHS2311PF2 Frost build up in freezer, refrigerator too warm. I was able to determine that warm air was coming through the ice chute door I ordered a new spring and gasket / seal for the door. It was very easy to access the area that needed repair. Upon further investigation I discovered that the whole plastic bracket (or module) that the ice shoot attaches to had a broken tab on it. It was therefore not allowing the ice door seal to shut completely. I ordered a new module (part #241680507) and reassembled everything. It was not until the next day that I realized that the evaporator coil was very very iced over. I thawed it all and voila! My refrigerator is cold again and my freezer is frost free. I believe that the evaporator froze over because of the warm air leak as well. Hopefully a month down the line everything will still be a ok. Read More...

Efrain V Randolph , MA August 03, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator FRS3R5EMB4 Ice flap wouldn't close completely so when ice melted I had water dripping & eventually onto the floor I took apart that area & noticed that the ice dispenser door bracket had broken on 1 side. This wouldn't allow it to open & close properly. I replaced the ice door bracket & just to be on the safe side I also replace the spring. This really made this 18yr old frig ice dispenser work like brand new. I also replace the freezer basket hanger because it had also broke on 1 side. Now its all in like-new condition Read More...
