Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (FFHS2322MBHA)

A Frigidaire refrigerator on 52nd Street NE in Canton wasn’t staying cold while the freezer ran too cold even on the lowest setting. The customer had tried adjusting temperature settings and unplugging to reset with no improvement. We found a blocked defrost drain creating a massive ice buildup that restricted airflow to the refrigerator compartment.

The Problem

The refrigerator does not stay cold and the freezer seems almost too cold even on the lowest setting. The customer tried adjusting the temperature settings and unplugging it to reset it and that did not seem to work.

Diagnosis

The defrost drain appeared to be obstructed. There was a big block of ice in the bottom of the evaporator section of the freezer compartment. This in turn kept the refrigerator from getting the air movement that would be necessary to keep the food cold.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Cleared drain and repositioned drain pan so it would not hold water and create ice. Successfully cleared the cavity and the drain.
• Result: Operation should be good

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire model is a solid mid-range refrigerator that typically provides reliable service when maintained properly. Drain blockages like this are common maintenance issues that don’t indicate major system problems. With proper cleaning and occasional drain maintenance, this unit should continue running efficiently for years.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Check and clean the defrost drain every 6 months to prevent ice buildup in the evaporator compartment
• Keep the drain pan positioned correctly and empty it if water accumulates
• Ensure proper airflow by not overpacking the freezer, which can block air circulation to the refrigerator section
