Ice buildup on the coils
For model number Fffh20f2qwc
Hello Simon, thank you for writing. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is Number PS12585793. We hope this helps.
upright frost free freezer is icing up in the inside and once the water was on the floor? What do you think is the cause? I currently have an extended warranty on the product but the company does not want to repair the freezer as they have deemed the product non repairable and the cause is Lack of insulation or a crooked frame. Have you ever heard this before? I want to keep my freezer and want to see how much it would cost for me to fix it (no freezers available, not same dimensions, only bigger size and more money).
For model number FFFH17F4QW0

Check the door gasket as well to make sure it is sealing properly. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week.
