Question 1

What to do when the FAGOR FFA6715X refrigerator's freezer produces too much ice?

Accepted Answer

For your FAGOR FFA6715X refrigerator with static cooling, excessive ice buildup in the freezer generally indicates a disruption in air circulation or poor sealing. Here’s how to identify and effectively resolve this issue.

The first step is to check the freezer temperature. The FFA6715X should be set between -18°C and -20°C for optimal operation. A temperature that is too low (-25°C or lower) causes excessive frost formation. Gradually adjust the freezer thermostat and wait 24 hours to observe the results. Refer to the control panel located inside the appliance to access the temperature settings.

Next, inspect the sealing of the freezer door. Close it on a sheet of paper: it should not slide easily. A worn or improperly positioned seal allows moist air to enter, causing ice formation. Clean the seal with a damp cloth. If the door does not close tightly, the seal needs to be replaced. Also, check that nothing is forcing the door to remain ajar, especially shelves that may protrude.

To clean the drainage channels of the FFA6715X, locate the ventilation grilles at the back and on the inner walls of the freezer. Dust them regularly with a vacuum cleaner. A blocked drain prevents defrost water from flowing properly, leading to ice formation. You can also gently pour warm water mixed with baking soda into the drainage holes to dissolve mineral deposits and accumulated debris.

If a significant layer of ice has already formed, defrost: turn off the appliance, remove the food, and let the ice melt naturally. Place a towel and a tray to catch the water. Never use sharp objects (knives, picks) that could puncture the refrigeration circuit. You can speed up the process by placing a container of hot water in the freezer, renewing it every 15 minutes. This manual defrosting is recommended by the manufacturer for the FFA6715X.

Finally, ensure proper air circulation by not overloading the freezer and leaving space between food items for cold air to circulate freely. Cover moist foods (meat, fish) before storing them to limit humidity. Combining these actions should permanently eliminate the excessive frosting issue on your FAGOR FFA6715X.

Question 2

How to change the door seal of the FAGOR FFA253 refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

To change the door seal of your FAGOR refrigerator model FFA253, follow these precise steps:

1. Unplug the appliance

Before any intervention, unplug the refrigerator to avoid any electrical risk.

2. Remove the old seal

Open the refrigerator door.
Inspect the existing seal. It is usually secured by clips or screws.
If the seal is clipped, gently pull it to dislodge it.
If screws are holding it, use a screwdriver to remove them before taking off the seal.

3. Prepare the new seal

Check that the new seal is compatible with model FFA253.
If the seal is bent, let it relax at room temperature before installation.

4. Install the new seal

Align the new seal with the location of the old one.
If the seal is clipped, push it firmly into place.
If screws are needed, secure them tightly to hold the seal.

5. Check the seal

Close the door and test the seal by placing a piece of paper between the seal and the door. If the paper pulls out easily, the seal is not properly installed. Adjust if necessary.

6. Plug the refrigerator back in

Once the seal is correctly installed and the seal is verified, plug your refrigerator back in.
