POTENTIAL CAUSE
• Freezer control is set to "OF"
or "0".
• Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.
• Plug at electrical outlet is dis-
connected.
• House fuse blown or tripped
circuit breaker.
• Power outage.
• Room or outside weather is
hot.
• Doors are opened too frequent-
ly or too long.
• Fresh Food/freezer door may
be slightly open.
• Freezer control is set too cold.
• Fresh Food/freezer gasket is
dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly
fitted.
• Condenser is dirty.
• Thermostat keeps the refrigera-
tor at a constant temperature.
• Electronic control system has
detected a performance prob-
lem.
• Household water line valve is
not open.
• Ice and water filter cartridge is
clogged.
• Filter not fully installed.
• Water has been in the tank for
a period of time.
• Unit not properly connected to
cold water line.
• Cut-off and cut-on pressures
are too low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in
regenerative phase.
• 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 inside refrigerator
to meet warm air from outside.
COMMON SOLUTION
• Set freezer control.
• This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator.
The defrost cycle occurs periodically, 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 contains from
blocking door. See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING
OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
• Set Fresh Food control to warmer setting until refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for tempera-
ture 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 tem-
perature constant.
• Call your Frigidaire service representative, who can inter-
pret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital
displays.
• Open household water line valve. See
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKEr.
• Replace filter cartridge.
• Push filter in until you hear a "click".
• Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the
supply and completely rinse out the tank.
• Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the
kitchen faucet.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on
the water pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20
psi during the regenerative phase.
• The rate of frost buildup and internal sweating increases.
• See CONCErN 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 col-
lecting in bottom of drawer is normal.
• This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower,
the moisture should disappear.
