The Problem

The customer contacted us because their refrigerator fridge compartment wasn’t maintaining proper temperature while the freezer remained cold. They also noticed the freezer had just started frosting up, indicating an airflow issue was developing.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection of the Admiral FFSS2614QS6A, we found ice accumulation in the return air duct and drain area, blocking proper air circulation between compartments. The damper assembly that controls airflow from freezer to refrigerator compartment had also failed, preventing cold air from reaching the fresh food section.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 242303001 — damper assembly
• Work performed: Replaced damper and cleaned ice from return air and drain
• Result: Proper airflow restored, refrigerator compartment cooling normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral refrigerators are built for reliability and this model represents good value for repair. Damper assembly failures are common wear items that, once replaced, typically provide years of additional service. For a side-by-side refrigerator of this type, this repair makes financial sense compared to replacement cost.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators

• Keep vents between freezer and refrigerator compartments clear of food items to maintain proper airflow
• Check door seals regularly on Admiral side-by-side models as poor sealing increases humidity and ice formation
• Clean the drain tube annually to prevent ice buildup that can block air return ducts
