Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (FFTR1814TW0)

A North Canton homeowner called thinking their Frigidaire refrigerator had a bad fan motor in the freezer. When we arrived at the Dotwood Street address, we discovered the real culprit was a loose door gasket allowing moist air into the unit.

The Problem

The customer reported they thought it was the fan motor in the freezer. Frost buildup around the evaporator fan was causing concern about mechanical failure.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the refrigerator door gasket was not sealing properly. This was allowing moist air into the fridge and building up frost on the evaporator fan. The fan motor itself was functioning normally.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Reinstalled the refrigerator door gasket
• Result: Proper seal restored, preventing moisture infiltration

Is It Worth Repairing?

Frigidaire refrigerators are generally reliable appliances, and this FFTR1814TW0 model represents good value for basic refrigeration needs. A simple gasket adjustment like this one is always worth doing, as it prevents larger issues like compressor overwork and excessive energy consumption.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Check door gaskets monthly by closing a dollar bill in the door — you should feel resistance when pulling it out
• Clean the gasket groove with warm soapy water to remove debris that prevents proper sealing
• Keep the condenser coils clean underneath or behind the unit to maintain efficiency
