FFTR1835VW
Frigidaire FFTR1835VW EvenTemp Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- EvenTemp airflow: evaporator fan, damper and vents
- Auto-close door hinges and gasket seal
- Defrost heater, sensor and drain
- Crisper and deli drawer fit
Frigidaire’s FFTR1835VW is 30 inches wide, holds about 18.3 cu. ft. and has the freezer on top. Features include an EvenTemp cooling system, humidity-controlled crispers, a half-width deli drawer and auto-close doors. Several revisions of the number exist, so the exact letters on the label matter.
EvenTemp is a named cooling feature, and on a top freezer we read it as a prompt to check airflow: the evaporator fan, the damper and the vents that carry cold air to the fresh food section. If the top shelf freezes food or the bottom stays warm, those are our first stops. Auto-close doors rely on door hinges and a level cabinet, so a door that swings open or will not stay shut gets its hinges and gasket checked.
With several revisions in play, the technician starts at the label. The quote is handed over in writing, and a 30-day warranty comes with the work.

My FFTR1835VW freezes food on the top shelf of the fresh food section. Why?
Too much cold air is likely coming through the damper or vents. We test the damper and the thermostat and check that the vents are clear.
The auto-close door does not close by itself anymore. Is that a repair?
Yes, usually. The hinges may be worn, or the refrigerator may need leveling so the door swings shut. We check both and the gasket along the edge.
Why do you ask about revisions on this model?
Several revisions exist, and some parts differ between them. Reading the label means the part we order fits the first time, with no second delivery to wait on.
