Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair (Model FFHS2622MBQA) – Alliance, OH

A Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator in Alliance was leaking water from the bottom left side, creating a mess on the kitchen floor. The homeowner called us when they noticed the puddle getting worse each day. We found the defrost drain completely blocked with dirt and ice buildup.

The Problem

The customer reported water pooling on the floor near the left side of their Frigidaire FFHS2622MBQA refrigerator. The leak had been going on for several days and was getting progressively worse. Water damage to kitchen flooring was becoming a concern.

Diagnosis

We traced the water source to a completely plugged defrost drain. Over time, dirt, food particles, and ice had accumulated in the drain hose, preventing meltwater from the defrost cycle from flowing properly. Instead of draining to the evaporator pan, the water was backing up and spilling out onto the floor. This is a common issue in side-by-side Frigidaire models when the drain isn’t maintained.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Cleaned out drain hose and bottom of freezer compartment, removed ice and debris blockage
• Result: Defrost water now flows properly to evaporator pan, no more floor leaks

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire side-by-side is a solid mid-range unit that typically runs 12-15 years with proper care. A drain cleaning is routine maintenance, not a major failure. The FFHS2622MBQA has good parts availability and reliable compressor components, making it worth maintaining through normal service issues like this.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Side-by-Side Refrigerators

• Pour a cup of warm water down the defrost drain (located at the back of the freezer) every few months to prevent ice buildup
• Clean the evaporator pan underneath the refrigerator annually — it collects defrost water and can develop odors
• Check the door seals on both sides — Frigidaire side-by-sides work harder when seals leak, creating excess moisture
