A Frigidaire refrigerator in Minerva, OH wasn’t cooling properly in the fresh food compartment while the freezer section worked fine. The customer set the temperature to 33 degrees but the top fridge part wasn’t reaching the desired coolness.
The Problem
The customer reported that the top fridge part was not cooling as it should, with the freezer below working fine. Despite being set at 33 degrees, the refrigerator compartment wasn’t reaching the desired coolness level.
Diagnosis
Basic fridge function was operating as designed, but air didn’t seem to be passing through the fridge tower properly. The issue was related to airflow restriction rather than a component failure.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Added foam sealer to the joint where the fridge tower mounted
- Result: Improved air circulation through the refrigerator compartment
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Frigidaire model represents solid value in the appliance market. Since this repair required no parts and addressed an airflow issue that could significantly impact food preservation, it was definitely worthwhile. Proper airflow is essential for maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the refrigerator compartment.
