This troubleshooting video is also applicable for the FGTR1845QE2 (black) and FGTR1845QP2 (white) model. - Навчання та стиль
I had the toughest time finding my model until this video. Extremely helpful! Thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
A huge Thank You! I have the same fridge, and have been collecting the water for a couple of years, it was a bit of a battle to carefully remove the unit, as I think it was frozen in place. I used pots of HOT water and it finally released (without breaking)!! I'm now able to turn the fridge temp down to a normal range! Great to have it working as it should! THANK YOU!
Thnx for the DIY fix! It worked. I discovered the same situation in the air & water housing as u did. I did not unplug it or take the back off as u did. Just removed the housing, got rid of the ice & slime, cleaned it, and put it back on. Quick & easy. Thnx for saving me a ton of $ on an appliance repairman!
So if I have this problem, I just need to remove the ice and gunk in the draining tube inside the refrigerator and my leaking ends?
@@Aggression-hc3yp yes
Pink slime mold is a common problem on commercial ice machines and refrigeration as well. It's gross, but it cleans out easily. I have the 20 cu.ft. version of this fridge. The piece you removed is slightly different than mine, but it's the same set up at the back. Thanks for the vid!
😁 Thank you. With your awesome help I zeroed in on the problem fast. I cleaned out similar gunk (grey/black in my case).
You are highly appreciated for your excellent presentation. Yes I live in a wonderful humid Hawaiian climate, Mahalo, Fraser
I have a 2007 Kenmore. Almost similar configuration. Was leaking, but towards the back and down the floor. No clog and no ice, but this was after the fridge had ben unplugged for 10 hrs so I guess the ice build up that diverted the water from the freezer drain had already melted when I did my inspection.
I'm going to try this. My 1st fridge only lasted 1988-2002 Now I've gotten 22 years from my Frigidaire. But it's leaking.
Thank you for this video.
I wish people went more for repair than replace. My oven is from 1990. Needs a 3rd replacement of heating element (about every 10+ years)
Also my parents green Frigidaire lasted about 45 years.
It’s so awesome that you are going to repair! It’s getting harder and harder nowadays to be able to repair anything around the house anymore
THANK YOU! I had the same problem with ice blocking the drainage tube in a similar Frigidaire model.
Glad it helped
OMG THANK YOU for this video we gave been dealing with this issue for almost 2 years, you showed us exactly what to do including taking off the water housing! It was exactly the same issue and make and model! Thank you!!!!
Same problem here!! Thank you so much for this video. So helpful!
Thanks alot for your investigation 👍. Fixed our problem. You'll help alot of people. Good job.
Most Excellent! Also if anyone is having a gnat problem and can't understand why you can't erradicate them, I found where they might be breeding in the water residue from clogged drainage pipes!
Exactly what I've been looking. Same model refrigerator. Thank you!
Stick a pencil or something thin to push the slim out. My mini fridge is leaking water and thanks for the video.
Wish the problem was with that interior pan. Didn’t feel or see any standing water or frozen water. It was all clear and I replaced the housing (slightly different model). I need to pull the back off the refrigerator and drag out my shop vac and go through the paces you laid out. Thanks!
Thanks you so much for this video it helped me out ALOT !!!!
Amazing! Thanks for the clip... you saved the day👍👍
Thank you so much!
I keep thinking that my leak problem is due to the water building up under the bottom trays inside the refrigerator and when too much water builds up, it overflows onto the floor.
I have this exact issue with my Fridgidaire, but when I took that part off like you did there was not anything clogging that part at all. The little tube was free of all debris. I think it could be clogged further down the tube -inside the fridge. Any suggustions? I cant seem to open up the back of the fridge except at the very bottom. thank you very much!
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Glad it helped!
Does this issue cause the fridge part to not cool as much? Freezer is ok.
Thank you.
No worries!
Any idea on how to get a new gasket seal as the one inside the housing is cracked ?
My leaking seems to be coming from the air and water housing in slow droplets close to the air holes. Could this be condensation with the warmer fridge encountering the colder air from the freezer?
Looks like same problem I have. I haven't pulled it out yet so I don't know about the gunk. I can definitely feel the ice build up. One issue I may have is mine appears to be connected to the light and Temp control and is screwed in.
I believe I have the same issue. I've got a 2016 model, very similar to the one in the video, but I'm not seeing how to remove the housing as he did, without cracking the lid off, and it does seem to be connected from the inside to the light and temp control. I also can feel the ice buildup. I'm getting trickles of water every now and then but I think it's only a matter of time before I have a continuous leak.
Any help would be appreciated.
water filter leaked and now my fridgedaire electrical is not working. I did a hard reset but not working still
Any suggestions on how to remove a very tight water housing? Can’t seem to get it loose and don’t want to break it
The colder the plastic, the more brittle it becomes. If it comes down to this, I would (a) let my refrigerator thaw above 68°F and then remove it with a microwaved warm cloth or (b) if your feeling gutsy, just go with the hot/warm cloth to remove the housing
I have the same problem. I’m calling someone to fix it. I know it will break if I do it and then my fridge is down. Did you get yours off ok?
I used to love the Frigidaire brand so much! Sadly Frigidaire refrigerator is not as good as used to be. Mine went out last week after 6 years of use ( not mention I had to call twice to get the ice maker fixed!)
I won’t be purchasing this brand again.
What do you do if there is no drip pan
The hose has to drain into a plastic container. When you make the fix, please use something like a take-out tray from Cheesecake Factory or one of your favorite restaurants as the pan. If not, liquid could be draining onto the floor.
Yuck!
