Frigidaire FFTR2045VS Auto-Close Refrigerator Repair

Most common issues on this model

Freezer cooling and the larger fresh food section
LED lighting and door switches
Auto-close door hinges and gasket seal
Damper and fan feeding the fresh food side

The FFTR2045VS stands 30 inches wide with the freezer on top, holding about 20 cu. ft., divided into roughly 5.4 cu. ft. of freezer and 14.6 cu. ft. of fresh food. It has LED lighting, crisper bins and auto-close doors, and Garage Ready is part of its product title. Many homes still have one.

The fresh food section is large compared with the freezer, so it depends on a steady supply of cold air through the damper. If that section warms while the freezer stays cold, we check the damper, the evaporator fan and frost on the coil. With auto-close doors, a door that bounces open or lets warm air in gets hinges and gaskets checked, and we make sure the refrigerator is level.

We match parts to the label, not the picture. A written quote needs your approval before we start, and the finished repair has a 30-day warranty.

FFTR2045VSFFTR2045VS questions

The light inside my FFTR2045VS flickers. What is the first test?

The door switch and the lamp connection get tested first. A loose connector or a worn switch is a lighter repair than replacing the whole light.

Why is the fresh food section warm but the freezer is fine?

With 14.6 cu. ft. of fresh food, it relies on air from the freezer side. We test the damper and fan and look for frost blocking the path.

Will an auto-close door work if the refrigerator is not level?

It may not. The door relies on the cabinet leaning back slightly. We level the refrigerator and check the hinges and gasket when we see a door that stays open.
