Refrigerator is a Frigidaire LTFR1832TF0.
Leak came from the front-right side.
I did not notice any temperature fluctuations, but I also don’t notice much of anything. It still seemed cold when I unplugged it, though!
Checked the drain pan & it seems dry? Not overflowing or anything.
No water on inside of refrigerator.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I’d really appreciate it, as no one can take a look for another 3 days.
I don’t want my food to spoil, as I don’t have a lot of money. I just want to know if it’d be safe to plug it back in!
Thank you.
Sorry, oil for what? Especially in that quantity? I’m not questioning you, but asking.
The compressor motor sits in an oil bath and is supposed to be sealed. If it’s leaking the fridge is likely toast.
Thanks, and yeah, makes sense.
Would this be hard to fix? Is it worth fixing? Assuming the motor is not yet burned out, you would have to add more oil and re-seal the motor housing? Sounds simple, but I assume that there is a high likelihood that the motor is already burnt out? And maybe another reason it’s leaking in the first place and not simply a seal?
