Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair – Akron, OH (fghb2866pf)

A Frigidaire refrigerator in Akron had an ice maker evaporator frozen issue that turned out to be an installation problem. The customer had owned the refrigerator for just a short time and the ice maker wasn’t working. Upon examination, we found that an air handler kit had been installed previously but done incorrectly.

The Problem

The customer reported that the ice maker evaporator was frozen. The ice maker wasn’t working despite the refrigerator being recently purchased.

Diagnosis

Upon examination, it was obvious that the ice maker air handler kit had been installed previously. However it was installed incorrectly. The wires on the side of the evaporator were not taped in the proper location, and tape was not installed over the shelf rails. This in turn caused the evaporator to continue to frost up.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Reinstalled the air handler kit properly
• Result: Operation should be normal from here forward

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a recently purchased Frigidaire refrigerator like this FGHB2866PF, correcting an improper installation is definitely worthwhile. This model is a quality French door refrigerator that should provide years of reliable service when properly maintained and installed correctly.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Keep the ice maker clean and replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent blockages
• Ensure proper airflow around the refrigerator with at least 1 inch clearance on sides and back
• Check door seals regularly and clean the condenser coils underneath every 6 months
