So, I used this video to fix my fridge. Thank u so much. The repair guy wanted $100 just to come diagnose plus part and labor. I thought it may be over my head, but u made it look super easy. Seems to be a perfect fix for me. Keep up the good work....we appreciate you!
Great vid! This fix worked and was easy to follow. Tips about reinstalling screws and size of screws was big. Seeing about 7 different possible fixes i went with your 90% of the time damper box replacement. Thanks
I like that, always learning from your videos thanks men.
Good video..most appliances today have components that are designed to fail in less than ten years.i work maintenance at a condo with about 200 refrigerators..we do these kind of repairs with the help of videos..thanks for the imfo..if you have a washer with suspension rods and it shakes around when spinning..there is an easy fix by refilling the grease cups on the rods.We use magic lube dampening grease..it comes from the factory with enough in the cups to last about five years.. easy cheap fix..
This was very helpful. Thank you very much!
Having the error code "H1" on the refridge side, will replace the damper next week. Thank you so much!
Glad to help, Thanks for Watching.
Thx for the video. I watched it and changed mine. It went well. Thank you much 👍🏾
Great to hear! Glad My Video Helped, Thanks for Watching!
Great video! If you have a link to that extension for your screw driver and drill that would be great. I know I don’t have anything that would fit up that screw hole.
Awesome video!!! Worked like a charm!!!
Great to hear! I am Glad My Video Helped You Fix Your Frigidaire Refrigerator, Thanks For Watching!
fixed my problem... thanks for the video and advice!
Glad it helped! Thanks for Watching!
At what temperature does the fridge have to be?? I've been calling the number in the description but it doesn't help. It's just an automatic message to check online. So glad I found this video
Freezer need to be set 0° refrigerator 37°
I used this video as a guide to replace my damper, and it worked for several weeks. Now I have an issue where the refrigerator section is too cold; it's freezing the milk, tea and eggs. I noticed I have a 3/8" gap between the top of the inside fridge and the top of the assembly in the back section near the damper. Not the rear gap that you mentioned, but a gap at the top. Is that what you have? Should I remove the assembly and try tightening it again? Thanks.
Will the replacement part you used be compatible with FFHS2622MSM??
Thank you so much! It worked.
You're welcome! Glad My Video Helped!
My fridge looks exactly like this and has the same problem but my model # is slightly different it's FFHS2311PF5. Will the part you have listed work with my model?
How you doing i had the same h1 beeping on the frig side I replace the damper but I’m not getting any air flow only when I open the freezer door air comes out the damper any advice
very helpful thank you very much
You’re welcome thanks for watching my video 💯💯👍🏻👍🏻
@@DIYRepairsNow bought the part for 100$ but I also jammed a rod through the door to allow for airflow until part was delivered. We'd like to buy a new fridge but fixing this one will have to do for a few months. Extended 5 year Warranty ended a few months back so I sorta expected it to have issues - shelves already broke some in the fridge door b/c bad design or kids too rough on them 😁
God bless you good sir!
Thank you kindly. I am Happy to Hear My Video Helped.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Is this the same as the thermistor? When I look this error code up (2023) it comes back showing it is the thermistor or could be. But I don't see anything regarding a damper. My Frigidaire is model FFH52611LWHA manufacturerd 10/14
How to you know the thermistor is good? Thanks
Is the thermistor in the air dampener? My Frigidaire is model ffss2615ts2, would the part be the same though? The top of the fridge in this video is the same set up as mine
Yeah there’s a termistor right next to the damper but Termistor is not part of the damper it’s a different part however termistor it’s not common to go bad in this model and if you have ice in the coil you need to check the defrost thermostat and heater also if you have ice in just in part of the coils for example from the half way down you probably have a Freon leak
@@DIYRepairsNow it’s getting the H1 code on the refrigerator side but I noticed the freezer is all of a sudden building up alot of frost while the fridge is getting warm. The ice in the bottom of the freezer has been going on for a long time but this frost and the h1 is new
@@DIYRepairsNow and thank you for taking the time to answer!
@@flyingdutchman2556 You gotta check your defrost thermostat, defrost heater The H 1 area code is probably showing because the frost does not let cold air go to the refrigerator side if those two checked OK you have to replace the main computer board
@@DIYRepairsNow Sounds fun. You had me at the coils
What if you get same error code for both sides H1 and sometimes just one side? and the freezer coils freeze up at top half a little bit?
th-cam.com/video/mgThlNC4MGo/w-d-xo.html
In that case you might need a new compressor relay or you have a freon leak If the compressor is overheating you need a new relay if the compressor is always working you probably have a Freon leak
@@DIYRepairsNow Thank you very much for the videos and advice. This may be out of my league. This unit is only two years old and i bought a stakable W/d that would not dry with error codes and tried to fix and ended up buying a new one. 4000.00 of junk.
I have the same fridge with the same error. The damper will snap shut as soon as I plug it back in after forcing it open. So I disconnected it from the arm that opens and closes it, and didn’t tape the vent. Freezer works fine and is cold, but even with the damper vent open all night and the freezer on, the fridge only got down to like 50 degrees.
Hi bro, Definitely, is it always the gate? Or is there another reason why I have the error code "h1"
Hi sir, I have this issue. How much should this cost so I know I’m getting a reasonable estimate. I would do it myself but I’m not confident with using the drill to put the housing back on.
These repair can cost between $285-$375 this repair is very easy you can use screwdrivers as well. Thanks for your comment.👍🏻👍🏻
How long after the repair should the H1 error stop? Mine still shows it after the vent replacement
There should be a reset button on the console under the temp setting.
Is that damper in the link of the description universal for other Frigidaire refrigerators or do I have to check the model number ?
The Damper Linked in the Description is For the Model in the Video, Not a Universal One. You can Click on the Repair Clinic Link in the Description and input your Model Number to Get Yours. Model Number should be located in Refrigerator Section.
@@DIYRepairsNow Thanks i appreciate you i
already ordered a new damper it's on the way thank you so much.
@@angelq.7656 No Problem! Thanks for Watching My Video!
@@DIYRepairsNow New subscriber thank you once again.
Primero que todo muchas gracias. Sabe que mi equipo tenia la luz de h1 en ambos lados y cuando vi este video video compre wl damper y lo cambie . Ya el h1 no sale en ningunlado pero el refrigerator esta caliente y el congelador solo enfria pero no congela ni hace hielo . Que podra ser ? Que otr cosa puedo hacer ? Apagarla unas horas o debo cambiar alguna otra pieza ? Muchas gracias.
Desafortunadamente, Suena como Que Usted Pueda Tener un Fuga de Freon. Es Muy Comun en Refrigeradores Frigidaire, Por Lo Menos en Nuestra Area, Lo Vimos Bastante. Probablemente Va a tener que Remplazar Su Refrigerador. Tengo Este Video Que Espero Que le Ayude: th-cam.com/video/Rss558oOCqg/w-d-xo.html
Have you done a video where it’s just the freezer side?
Yes
th-cam.com/video/mgThlNC4MGo/w-d-xo.html
So a temporary fix is to open the damper with a screwdriver?
Yeah. I had to remove the entire plastic piece with screws and then that flipper or dampener to access it and then just left it open. For now.
Hola mi refrigerador se quedo abierto por unas horas y se ha activada la alarma que indica que la puerta está abierta aunque ya esten cerradas que puedo hacer para desactivar esa alarmas???
Desconecte La Refrigeradora Con las Puertas Abiertas por un par de Horas Para Resetearla.
My fridge only acts up sometimes, some times its really cold, but gives the same code H 1 and items are not cold could it be same issue?
Yes, It is a Possibility that this Could be Your Issue.
I got the h1 error on the freezer side and both sides arent getting cold
Replaced the damper… 15 min later fridge started beeping again with same H1 error 😮💨 any other tips?!
I wanted to see how you reset the number
the error code only can be reset after you fix the issue you have to disconnected the refrigerator for 30 minutes and plug it back in or the error code is going to go away by herself once you fix of the issue
Mine is beeping 5 times and compressor comes on and off . Moved from one house to another. Not getting cold yet please help
What’s if both sides are throwing the same code?
This is Usually Caused when Both Sides are too Hot and Not Freezing or Cooling. For Some Reason, Most Frigidaire Refrigerators Get Freon Leaks, Making the Refrigerator Not Cool. Here is a Video on How to Know if it could be a Freon Leak or Not: th-cam.com/video/Rss558oOCqg/w-d-xo.html
First should tell viewers to clean condenser and chip out frozen lower return door. I spent 80$ on damper and found out it was because I’m a slob and I don’t clean condense enough
Who’s getting a healthy heaping of ice on the bottom of the freezer? Keeping a towel on the floor? This is why we got rid of the dang freezer drawer style on the bottom and went with side by side! Ahhhh! 😤
Happening with a side by side, too. This fix should help that. When the flap on the damper is stuck in the closed position, look in the freezer (if a Frigidaire. Take out all the wire racks. There’s a 2 pc vented panel. Only the bottom panel needs to be removed. Only 4 - 1/4” screws to remove. When you remove the panel, you’ll see the block of ice. Left too long, and that’s what causes the damper to malfunction. Likely culprit is the supply tube filling the ice maker. It drips a little bit each time. Keep it clean, don’t overfill your freezer blocking the vent, or overfilling your ice bucket.
Just remove the ice. Wipe down the metal catch tray, and replace panel. Finish this video’s install of the damper and you’re up and going again. The part was about $100 or so. Easy swap. Thanks to this channel.’
My side by side I have water on my floor some times I keep a towel on the floor near it . Any suggestions?
Completely defrost the refrigerator clean all of the coils on the bottom and thoroughly wipe everything down and it will stop the water on the floor
Ive done the replacement, now the damper door opens all the way. I put it on the #1 setting to see if the damper closes and it stays wide open. Anyone else experience this?
The damper stays open until it reaches the temperature If it’s not freezing your food everything is fine
@DIYRepairsNow thanks for the reply, and thanks for this video. This saved us from getting a new fridge.
I replaced it and it’s not blowing air, what should I do?
Sometimes you have to replace the evaporator fan motor in the freezer
@@DIYRepairsNow I just figured it out! The air intake behind one of the drawers in the fridge was clogged with ice. Broke the ice out and it started blowing air with no issues! Thank you for the helpful video!
You stated 90% of the time it’s the damper. What if it’s not the damper. What else could it be??
th-cam.com/video/mgThlNC4MGo/w-d-xo.html
This one is a Kenmore made by Frigidaire so this will help you to th-cam.com/video/JbGdueBHvco/w-d-xo.html
Those are the other things they can make a H1 air code but those videos will be more if the error codes are showing out in both freezer and refrigerator
Not gonna lie. The repair is good but That’s a dirty ass refrigerator.
Its called a damper
This just saved me 150 bucks
