  1. Today
  2. That is just a mastic muffler - it wraps around the cap tube and evaporator inlet to muffle any noise from the refrigerant liquid changing to it gas state. It not at all uncommon to see these fall off - I just use some permagum sealing material and form it around in the same place. This being off isn't causing your problems.
  3. Yesterday
  4. First the embarrassing but probably vital piece: the problems began almost a week ago when I put a big stockpot of soup in the fridge when it was still hot. (I absolutely know better, had pot cooling in water bath in sink, but it was probably still 120-140F when I got a bad call and had to rush out the door. I stuck it in the fridge, in my worry I only thought about food safety wrt the soup and not everything else). Fridge is about 2 years old and has never been a problem before. Our Frigidaire refrigerator, model FFTR1814TWB, is about 2-3 years old. Since I checked the next morning the freezer has stayed right around 32F (ice doesn't melt but chicken breasts etc. thawed. Thermoworks thermometer shows food around 32F), while the fridge has stayed around 42F. At first I assumed it would catch up, got a bunch of ice from the store to help, and gave it a day, leaving the settings alone since even a slight downward adjustment had previously caused ice on vegies, etc. No improvement. I then turned the knob in the fridge down, gave it another day... no improvement noticed. Turned them all the way down and gave it another day... This morning I finally called Frigidaire, all they advised was to unplug it for 30 seconds. I finally unscrewed the back panel of the freezer and found ice encasing the lower portion of the coils - maybe the bottom 1/5th or so. Ice had also blocked about 1/4 of the horizontal (intake?) vents along the bottom of that rear panel. I thawed that with a hair dryer without poking at the tubes and breaking them (like I did trying to defrost the freezer in my first apartment). In the 4-5 hours since then I don't think it has stopped running, but I didn't think to listen prior to that. I also left probes in the freezer and fridge - now reading 29F and 41F, when I had only measured temps by sticking an instant read thermometer in various foods... so I don't know if those new, slightly lower, temps are actually new or within the range it already was swinging. I do feel cold air coming from the vents at the rear of the freezer. I have both fridge and freezer temperature adjustments bottomed out at this point. One mystery: There was a weird squishy black thing resting on the top of those fins behind the freezer wall. It looked like electrical tape, only with something gummy in it - Not sure where it came from. It looked like it had been around something small and long - as if it had been around a pencil. I thought it was electrical tape with ice in it at the time, but it thawed to be squishy instead of just melting. I don't know if it held a thermocouple in place, or insulated something, or what. Would the hot soup and associated steam/condensation/ice etc. have damaged something directly or could there be ice blocking something else? Thank you for any help!

  11. How I fixed the issue here in my home after wanting to kick it to kalamazoo..... Got tired of working on it for it not to last. New tech does not mean better. Install to the side and swing it outta the way when not use. Aim it in the tub, turn it on to fill to desired level. Shake the tip dry.. swing it back against the wall. Even has a hard spray setting for treating tough stains. Next best option is the creek.
  12. Yep, you're right -- sorry about that. Uploaded the wrong file with that entry. I've corrected it.
  13. If Willie says to that, I would!!!! good luck..

    Need schematic

    Uses the same tech sheet as this model:
  17. Hi All - Last year I noticed my fridge making some noise. After some diagnostic and disassembly I saw that the interior fan was hitting ice and that the entire evaporator coil was covered in a block of ice. I let the fridge defrost over night and reassembled the fridge and it worked fine for a few months and then it continued to ice over again. I've gone through this process several times now and I'm looking for a permanent fix. I tried to replace the heater coil in the fridge with a brand new coil and it doesn't seem to be working. I let the fridge run for 24 hours and then I tried to put the fridge in Forced Defrost mode but the coil never gets hot. I suspect that there might be something failing to supply power to the heater coil but I'm not sure what to replace or how to debug further. When the fridge was in forced defrost mode, I took a voltage detector pen and put it across the brown wires that supply voltage to the heater and it did not detect any voltage. Any help would be appreciated.

    Kenmore 417.48102701 Washer won't start/fill/spin - error codes?

    If you have a bad pump relay, that would be a component on the main board. Would have to replace the complete board or check the solder connections to the relay on the board and re-solder if bad/burnt solder joints to the relay or de-solder and source a new relay from an electrical part supply company and replace the relay if the relay points or coil is bad.
