A Canton, OH homeowner called about their Frigidaire refrigerator not cooling properly. The freezer wasn’t freezing and the fridge didn’t seem cold either. We found a loose condenser fan connection that appeared to have been this way since the factory.
The Problem
The customer reported that the freezer isn’t freezing and the fridge doesn’t seem cold either. This is a classic symptom of airflow issues that prevent proper cooling throughout the refrigerator compartments.
Diagnosis
The condenser fan connection was loose. It appears to have been this way since the factory. The customer recently had a floor installed and it could be that it was jostled and worked loose even more in that time.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Plugged in the loose condenser fan connection
- Result: Everything seems to be functioning properly
Is It Worth Repairing?
This FFTR1821QS1 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire model, and a simple connection issue like this is absolutely worth fixing. When the repair requires no parts and restores full function, it’s an easy decision. This refrigerator should provide many more years of reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators
- Check and clean the condenser coils every 6 months — Frigidaire models are particularly sensitive to dust buildup
- Verify door seals are tight by testing with a dollar bill — Frigidaire gaskets tend to wear at the bottom corners first
- Keep the interior temperature at 37°F (refrigerator) and 0°F (freezer) for optimal Frigidaire compressor efficiency
