Hello Gladys, thanks for your submission!
I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator is not sealing properly. You could be experiencing an issue with the gasket or the hinges. I would suggest checking the door hinges to assure that they are secure in position. You can also use a dollar bill to test the door gasket. Place a dollar bill in between the door and the body of the refrigerator. If the dollar bill pulls out with no to little resistance, you may need to replace the door gasket. I hope that this information is helpful to your repair. -Matt

Whirlpool et1chmxkq03 quit making ice, freezer still cool but not freezing. fridge not cooling rite. water not coming into ice maker.

1st = try to determine why freezer is not freezing.
fridge is cooled from freezer.
water may not be flowing because freezer is not cold enough to make ice.

Verify freezer door is closing and seals are sealing. If you slam the fridge door closed and the freezer door moves there is a problem.

I have a Sears Coldspot chest freezer Model #1869. The door doesn't seal properly and ice builds up within the door and the seal becomes even worse. The freezer itself works fine.

A precut seal will be expensive so please don't expect the price to be reasonable should you find one. Sears uses a longer number to list model numbers like 312.215478 as an example. Where can I find my model number? Let me know if you have questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

Door not shuting rite doesn't seen to have a vacume seal

Look for something not pushed in far enough on the shelves and the Ice bin. Make sure the cabinet frame and the seals are clean. The doors should be closing on their own once they reach the halfway closed point. If all these are correct then the gaskets may be worn out, but unless torn they do not usually need replacing.
