I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator has frozen condensation in the freezer area. Typically this will happen if the door is left open, left open for too long, or if the door is not sealing properly. I suggest making sure that the door is closed, as well as not leaving it opened for extended periods of time. When the hot humid air hits the freezer it will cause frost. Also, you might want to check the seal around the door, and make sure it is not damaged in any way. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. If further troubleshooting is needed, please leave your model number in the comment section. Hope this is helpful.
Usually when ice (teardrops) form on the sweep blades it can be caused by a couple of things.
1. A dirty freezer door seal
2. A torn freezer door seal
3. Separation in the freezer door.
4, Calcium build up on the sweep blades.
Give the door seal a serious look for dirt and tears.
If the door seal looks ok and is clean then...
Wash the icemaker sweep blades with a mixture of vinegar and water. Give the freezer door some attention with that same mixture. Oils from hands or food can prevent a good seal on the freezer door. Just make sure you clean the icemaker sweep blades FIrst...
Do not use a new scotch brite pad on the sweep blades. USE an OLD one.... scratches on sweep baldes invite condensation when the door is opened.
Make sure to toss the next few cycles of ice cubes.
Doing the above should stop the ice build up on the sweep blades unless you have folks or visitors in the home that love holding the freezer door open for longer than normal.
Without any additional info, there are a lot of possibilities:
1. Condenser coil (underneath unit) is dirty and clogged.
2. Compressor is failing. (need A/C tech)
3. Metering device is clogged. (need A/C tech)
4. Refrigerant charge is low. (need A/C tech)
5. Door seal is broken (frost will form around door).
6. Defrost heaters are stuck on (replace defrost timer located underneath unit at front).
7. Condenser fan has failed (underneath freezer on back).
8. Evaporator fan (inside fan) has failed (ice will form on cooling coil).
This should get you started...
If this helps you, please select YES to the first two ratings questions. Thank you, and Good Luck.
these fridge have a heater in that black flaper to prevent condensation. It is probably not working or not even plugged...do they removed the doors when they delivered your fridge??? remove the uper left cap of the hinge, the connection is there...... the tech must check that piece if it is well plugged..
The door seal is at fault. Regardless of the small tear it is not sealing well.
Take a dollar bill and close it in the door. Then pull on the bill to feel resistance.
You will find it pulls easily in some place. That is where your air leak is that is causing the condensation.
Do this about every 6 inches all the way around the seal.
Please repair the Freezer door as it is not sealing, due to which cooling is affected. If it is under warranty then contact to the manufacturer as soon as possible.
I would expect at the very least a heater circuit around the freezer door. Some of the commercial units also have sprung doors to keep the doors firmly shut which you could check by opening the doors. Door heater circuits are normally very reliable and it would be worth checking the voltage is getting to them, they are also a pain to change out.
Hope this helps.
