Admiral Refrigerator Repair – Beloit, OH (FFHS2311PFFA)

A customer in Beloit called about their Admiral refrigerator that had stopped cooling properly on the fresh food side. The return air chute had frozen and been de-iced twice before, but the problem kept coming back. Our diagnosis revealed a failed damper assembly causing the air passage to frost over repeatedly.

The Problem

Return air chute was frozen & de-iced 6/5/20. Worked until 8/10/20. Same happened again. Talked w/tech. Used hairdryer. Freezer side seems okay and is not frosting up but fridge side is not cooling.

Diagnosis

The damper assembly had failed. This caused the return air on the fridge to frost over.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 242303001 — damper assembly
• Work performed: I replaced the damper and cleared the air passage
• Result: Issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral refrigerators are value-oriented appliances that can provide decent service when properly maintained. A damper assembly failure on a unit this age is a reasonable repair, especially since the compressor and other major components are still functioning normally.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators

• Keep air vents clear of food items to maintain proper airflow between compartments
• Check door seals regularly — poor sealing can cause moisture buildup that leads to frosting
• Clean coils every 6 months to prevent the cooling system from working harder than necessary
