In the house we just bought there is a copper brown top freezer Frigidaire which says it is a Deluxe 17. Cleaned it and plugged it in. Set freezer unit for "normal:" and refrigerator on "1". Light works, engine hums quietly but next day ice trays in freezer unit only with light skim of freeze. Suspect unit is 15-20 years old. Any ideas?

Freezers only buils up layers of ice after multiple opebing and closing of doors allows fresh air inside, the moisture then freezes out of the air and builds up in layers on the cold surfaces. Note that the more ice that builds up decreases the efectivness of the freezr and thus costs more to run. To test try making ice cubes in atray. The number 1 setting on the fridge will be the warmest setting. Hope this helps.

the unit is loosing the freon supply to the evaporator.you either have a leakage,a blockage or the compressor is not pumping to full capacity.

also check defrost timer,defrost thermostat. In most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.

Frigidaire ffu1767fwo (power spike) does not turn on can it be fixed

Hello tom97420 - Was the freezer unplugged during the power outage? It is best to be unplug unit and wait for the power to come back on, turn control to off, plug the unit in and reset control to factory suggested setting. Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours. Make sure the freezer plug is tightly pushed into electrical outlet and not plugged into a GFI. Is the temperature control in the OFF position? Set temperature controls to proper setting suggested by owners guide or set to the halfway point and adjust it up or down as needed. If any suggestions are ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately. From what you have described the power loss could have possibly caused a communication problem with the control board, temperature control or wiring harness.

I just set up my Frigidaire upright Freezer, only

Rule of thumb, if you lay a frig/freezer on side let sit upright at new location for 24 hours before plugging it in.

Frigidaire Deluxe Chest Freezer is constantly

Two things to check without knowing the model number.

It is possible the drain plug was left out or not inserted correctly after defrosting and it is leaking..

Also there is sometimes an evaporator pan with a heater element on the bottom. If the heater element failed the evaporator pan would overflow.

Water in the floor

there is a drain hose that comes out of the bottom of the cabinet into a drain pan underneath your freezer take a look and see if that got pulled loose during your move. if it is in place then you most likely have a plugged drain. this can be cleaned fromt he inside at the botom. reomve the bottom basket and the shelf right above it. you will see ice build up on the floor of the freezer and and behind the cover. just defrost the ice you will uncover the drain hole flush warm water thru the line till it runs clear. good luck peyton
