Frigidaire Freezers - Page 6 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
The outer plastic coating around frigidaire freezer thermostat has scratched off slightly is it dangerous
to continue using freezer
That's just a beauty factor (mostly)...
Almost immediately peeled off of my kitchen-aid...
Insise... No problem.
I was told if water IS NOT FROSTING up on it... It will be fine.
If water IS frosting... OUTSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR....
the dripping can create lots of issues.
Place clean sheet of typing paper... just like checking those valves under the sink. Wait a few days.. check THAT paper.
No drops = everything is great.
Drops means you need to put some decent insulating
wrap around the tubing to keep MOIST AIR from direct contact..
ELSE ... don't worry about inside refrigerator frost. Designed to handle & drain away water .
(my opinion... NO problem (I'm pretty vigilant about my wife's intake ... keeping toxins to a low roar (she's a keeper)))...
The brazing and tubing materials have not been TOXIC since lead piping days (decades ... wrong... generations ago)...
Good to be thoughtful about these things!!
Freezer cools fine but will not shut off till I open door
Running all the time means you either have to clear/clean your condenser... Check for good tight door seals... and make sure the doors/vents are not blocked by any contents...
Free flowing cold dry air inside... sealed compartments is ideal.
Dollar Pull test:
Use the dollar bill pull test all round your doors...
(brown paper sack is cleaner & nicer):
You can take the paper...
close the door on it..
Pulling it out you should feel mild but constant pressure around the full perimeter of each door (or drawer).
If you do NOT feel it the door/drawer needs to be checked for gasket integrity... and the door may need to be adjusted.
New door gaskets are not terribly expensive
(but most issues are caused by spilled food, cleaning
or door adjustments = easy).
(FULLY covered in every owners manual I've read).
Consider purchasing 2 TAYLOR BRAND refrigerator
thermometer & turning the freezer to the ZERO Fahrenheit
area and the refrigerator to 33 or 34 degrees above zero
(32 degrees Fahrenheit... being frozen eggs & milk (too cold)).
Else... comment me back...
We can take this all the way into refrigerant level check if you find
NOTHING ELSE WRONG
((HIGHLY IMPROBABLE... but do-able)).
You gasket is showing as no longer
available... at appliancepartspros.com...
