Hello Jusuf,

I see that you are having trouble with a micro fungus growing on the seal of your Frigidaire freezer, model# FFC13C3A. First, I would suggest changing the seal. There is no real way of getting that fungus off without compromising the seal itself. Second, if you have this in a basement or very humid area, I would suggest purchasing a dehumidifier. Humidity can cause this micro fungus to appear on the rubber seal. Hope this was helpful.

-Best Regards-

Mildew in woods refrigerator

If it is being used, it should be too cold for mold (Mildew) to be able to grow. Upright refrigerators already have a circulation fan in them. Mildew won't form in an environment that cold unless the fan is not running and there is a small air leak around the door seals. The picture above looks like a commercial box. If so, the fan is normally mounted and easy to see, mounted on the top panel, inside of the box. If its a residential model, the fan can be berried behind the back inside panel and difficult to access. If there is a switch visible around the door frame, pushing it in should start the fan. I'm guessing that the mildew is present on the door seal? Try sliding a stiff dollar bill between the door seal and the refrigerator all the way around the door. If it makes it in any where, the seal is leaking at that point. If I am way off with all of this advise, let me know in detail how this is wrong and I can go from there. Hope this is good advise for you. Let me know. Good luck.

My Fridgidaire upright Gallery freezer is freezing my food but the appliance seems to be constantly running and the temperature control on the outside is reading 29 Celsius when it obviously isn't

Hi Susan Abboud - Modern freezers have increased storage capacity and keep more even temperature that may require the compressors to run longer but use less energy. Was the unit disconnected previously for any reason? If so, freezer requires a minimum of 4 hours to cold down completely. Confirm that the temperature control is not set too cold and that the door is not being open frequently. A dirty, cracked, worn or poorly fitted door gasket can allow warm air to enter the unit causing it to have to run longer to remove the warm air. Leaks in the door seal will cause freezer to run longer in order to maintain desired temperature. Cleaned the gasket, if it is too damage then it will need to be replace. You can check and see if the door seal is bad by, placing a dollar between the gasket and cabinet. Check to see if the door is being blocked by anything stopping it from closing properly. If nothing is stopping the door then replace gasket. Keep in mind that there should also be at least 4-6 in of air space on all sides of the unit. If freezer is built in or has items stored on top that cover the unit, the can cause long run times, high temperature in the freezer and premature failure to the unit. Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of the unit. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the properly operation of your freezer, about 3 inches around the unit.

I have a fridgidaire freezer that is just cooling not freezing?

some freezers will not freeze in the freezer department if you are low on freon. the motor cannot produce enough freon to keep your freezer frozen when it is to low, however, you might have the temperature up to high where it has locked up the motor and is sending out all that water underneath. i would check your pan under your refrigerator to see if it needs to be dumped and then replace it back.

Chest freezer ices up quicker than it should

if the box has mold between the seal and liner the the seal isn't the main problem, the main problem is the liner is bad and by time you got both parts if you can it would cost more than to replace the freezer.
