Can the Frigidaire FRA064VU1 be taken apart to clean/dry at end of season before storing? (So mold doesn't accumulate?) Thanks.

Taken apart? If you mean cleaning the air filter, yes, and it should be done monthly while in use. The filter is below the control panel. If you mean disassembled, the rear sheet metal case can be removed through multiple sheet metal screws to expose the fan and condenser, an activity usually performed by a technician to gain access for maintenance.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! Unfortunately, Frigidaire doesn't give that information. They only say that it will defrost every 12 hours.

You might get it off but WILL damage the fridge. That's what happened when I started removing mine so just left it.

I've had mine for about 6 months as well and have not seen mold growing in it or on it. I think it's best to leave it out to dry and not let it sit in water after use.

I did store mine in the frig for a while and no ill effects. I did let it come to room temp before I plugged it in to make sure there was no moisture in the plug area.

We just bought ours this summer--we are in OK and don't get lots of snow. I am planning to take it apart when the weather gets cold and storing the parts in the garage.

I have had mine for almost a year and I haven't noticed any mold. It does need to be cleaned out every so often, but I just spray it down with disinfectant and rinse it off. Comes clean every time.

I did not find a way to take it apart for cleaning... The best method I found was put to it in a jug of water with a bit of bleach and let it "dispense" the bleach solution. After repeating a few times, the odor went away but I'm not sure the mold did.

Hello Susan B. Yes, you are able to take the entire Blender apart to clean it. I do not think that it needs to be taken apart each time you use it. The seal is tight. You can purchase new blades on Amazon. I have not yet had the need to do that. To clean, I just rinse it out-put in some water and dishwashing soap and blend it for a few seconds. Then dry it. I sound like a commercial. Anyway, this Beehive Blender is BETTER than I expected it to be. Have a great day.

The interior parts may be leaking. They may be replaced. Check at the companies website. I keep it in the refrigerator, when it empties, I refill it. I don't worry about mold.

It doesn't come apart in that sense. There is a weekly maintenance using white vinegar for scale and diluted chlorine bleach for disinfection. I have had no issues at all with mold to date. I have had mold issues with evaporative type humidifiers in the past. This ultrasonic is better so far.

Good question, I just got one and I think I will run it dry in late fall and fill with fresh, I have been told to keep it full to prevent rust.

I have never found a way to easily disassemble this unit in front. It was obviously made to keep the consumer out. Of course, not being able to properly clean the fan will shorten the life of the unit... gee, I wonder if Holmes thought of that... duh. Anyway, the best you can do is hold a vacuum cleaner hose up against the grill and suck out as much dirt as possible - which is what we do with them occasionally. Good luck with it.

No!! Just wipe it with a dishrag & towel dry & re freeze for your next use!

Yes, if the weather or the temp of the house is warm then this is normal. I live in MN so in the winter and fall, mine stays solid. However on warmer days in the summer it will liquefy as well. To make it solid again, simply refrigerate it for a bit. One thing I have had problems with though, is that I've had mold form on it while it was sitting on the shelf (not in frig). I've never talked to others who have had this problem though so perhaps I wasn't using it up fast enough. Otherwise, it really is a great product.

I have never had a problem with mold. However I always spread them out on trays until they are completely dry and back to original size before storing them.

yes of course. it's very nice. and it works fine. I never had any problem with my own and the mold and mildew have since disappeared
