frigidaire fre196a

[mbdas]

Hi 🙂
this fridge freezer runs ok and temp is ok but I’m getting ice build up on the the left hand side of the cold wall inside the fridge side and after a few days it covers the defrost hole and blocks up . could it be over charged or is the evaporater pipe to close to the cold wall ❓

Re: frigidaire fre196a

Could be 1 of 3 faults that can cause this , low on gas , blokedge ,or weak compressor
the 1st 2 is more than likley , is it switching off at all ?? , is compressor mad hot , iff
the wet wall doesent get cold enough to open the stat , And is the freezer chocked up with ice
Have fully defrosted a couple like this and have gone back to normal,

Yes the temp is ok its switching on and of as normal just got a ball of ice in this one corner, you can see the shape of the pipe as is starts to freezer in the fridge side 🙁

thanks thats what I was thinking 🙂 the appliance is 18 months old and customer phoned frigidaire up and they said if she got a indys report saying that it was UER they would then exchange it coz they can’t be arsed to send one of there own engineers out as it would cost too much and that she was proberley right anyway 😯 lol
Thanks again Mark 🙂
