Frigidaire side by side frost build-up by ice-maker

I have a frigidaire side by side #frs6lf7jm3. Bought new 4 months ago. I've had frost build-up between the ice-maker and the freezer door ice dispenser slot since day 1. I get frost falling to the floor when I open the freezer door and frost in my glass. When I clean the frost off it only returns.

If it is only 4 months old, contact the manufacturer for warranty. Sounds like the dispenser or door seals have a leak. Do not void your warranty and have yourself or someone else look at it. Get the manufacturer out there ASAP for repair.

I had the same problem. After 6 months I contacted Frigidaire about it. They made arrangements with a local factory service repairman. Be sure you have your model and S/N available. The repairman came to my home, verified the problem and returned a week later and installed the replacement door dispenser. Problem solved.

SOURCE: Frost buildup on ice/water dispenser

Is the trap door flap closing properly where the ice comes through the door? If open, warm air would be coming in frosting and maybe iceing things up

SOURCE: Frost on icemaker door

Most likely the ice door is not closing properly.
Clean out the ice chute and look down it from the inside while you shine a flashlite up from the outside. If you see light around the door then it needs to be replaced or something is wrong with the mechanism.
Post back and let me know what you find.

SOURCE: Frigidaire signaling water dispenser instead of ice maker

Sounds like the water solinoid valves are wired wrong.One activates The water dispenser.The other the ice maker.That, why every so often the water shoots out on the floor.The ice maker is telling the valve to open.

SOURCE: frost build up in freezer (ice maker section)

Your ice maker is overflowing and asking for to mush water to make the ice, you may have a real hi water pressure on your water supply
the is a easy way to adjust that but you are going to have to take
your ice maker out
then using a flat head screw driver remove the white square cover
you will see a gear and a adjustment screw and a lever like this

( - I + )

turn the screw to the minus sing a quarter way and install the ice maker back up.

Or a easier way is just closing the water valve before your fridge a little so it wont have so mush pressure and will not fill your ice maker so fast.

the ice maker feel up buy time not buy water level.

I'm getting frost and ice build up on the bottom and back of the fridge compartment on my LG French door fridge.

To me This is on all Makes and models build up of frost means warmer humid air is entering into colder air this will cause a frost build up from entrance of warm air coming in so your looking at your air flow in all compartments of your ref,freezer so on.
blocked air will give false readings to sensors when compartment is asking for lower temp colder temp will be noticed.
bad or obstructed door seals door not closing properly
Follow your frost line it will point the way.

My ice maker won't make ice.I have a Frigidaire FRS26H5ASB5. Can you tell me what I can do?

I had the same problem with my ice maker.
I took it apart and cleaned the three switches inside the icemaker
The switches are not a high enough amp rating so they burn the contacts. Keep in mine cleaning is temp fix.
I did mine about 4 months ago and still working.
I have new switches now that I will be installing as soon as it quits again. About $9.00 for new switches and about $130.00 for a new Icemaker!

I hope this helps.
