Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – Malvern, OH (FRS6R5EMBS)

We got a call from a homeowner in Malvern, OH about a small leak in the back left side of their Frigidaire refrigerator. They noticed it didn’t appear to be from water lines and suspected it might be condensate, plus the fan wasn’t running as hard as usual.

The Problem

The customer reported a small leak in the back left side that didn’t appear to be from water lines. They suspected it was possibly condensate and noticed the fan doesn’t seem to be running as hard as in the past.

Diagnosis

I found that the defrost drain tube in the freezer compartment had worked loose. When the fridge ran the automatic defrost cycle, the water just drained onto the floor instead of going where it was supposed to.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None needed
• Work performed: Reattached the loose defrost drain hose
• Result: No more water leaking onto the floor

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire refrigerator was definitely worth fixing — it was just a loose connection that took minutes to reattach. Frigidaire makes solid appliances, and when the repair is this simple and inexpensive, there’s no reason to replace a working refrigerator.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Check the defrost drain periodically to make sure it hasn’t worked loose or gotten clogged with debris
• Keep the condenser coils clean — dirty coils make the compressor work harder and can affect fan performance
• Replace the water filter every 6 months to maintain proper water flow and prevent clogs in the system
