CAUSE
• Freezer control is set to
"OF" or "0".
• Refrigerator is in defrost
cycle.
• Plug at electrical outlet
is disconnected.
• House fuse blown or
tripped circuit breaker.
• Power outage.
• Room or outside
weather is hot.
• Doors are opened too
frequently or too long.
• Refrigerator/freezer door
may be slightly open.
• Freezer control is set
too cold.
• Refrigerator/freezer
gasket is dirty, worn,
cracked, or poorly fitted.
• Condenser is dirty.
• Thermostat keeps the
refrigerator at a con-
stant temperature.
• Electronic control system
has detected a perfor-
mance problem.
• Weather is hot and
humid.
• Door is slightly open.
• Vegetables contain and
give off moisture.
• Washed vegetables and
fruit drain while in the
drawer.
• Weather is humid.
• Door is slightly open,
causing cold air from in-
side refrigerator to meet
warm air from outside.
SOLUTION
• Set freezer control.
• This is normal for a fully automatic defrost
refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs peri-
odically, lasting about 30 minutes.
• Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
• Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-
delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker.
• Check house lights. Call local electric company.
• It's normal for the refrigerator to work
longer under these conditions.
• Warm air entering the refrigerator causes
it to run more. Open doors less often.
• Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and con-
tains from blocking door. See PROBLEM column
OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
• Set Refrigerator control to warmer setting
until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.
Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
• Clean condenser. See Care & Cleaning.
• This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep temperature constant.
• Call your Frigidaire service representative,
who can interpret any messages or num-
ber codes flashing on the digital displays.
• The rate of frost buildup and internal
sweating increases.
• See PROBLEM column OPENING/CLOSING
OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
• It is not unusual to have moisture on the
bottom side of the cover.
• Move humidity control (some models) to
lower setting.
• Dry items before putting them in the
drawer. Water collecting in bottom of
drawer is normal.
• This is normal in humid weather. When hu-
midity is lower, the moisture should disappear.
• See PROBLEM column OPENING/CLOSING
OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
