BEFORE YOU CALL (CONTINUED)
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 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 tem-
perature constant.
• Call your Frigidaire service representative, who can inter-
pret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital
displays.
• 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 collect-
ing in bottom of drawer is normal.
This is normal in humid weather. Press Energy Saver icon
•
to reduce exterior moisture on the cabinet between the
doors. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disap-
pear and the Energy Saver icon can be pressed again to
turn it off.
• See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING OF
DOORS/DRAWERS.
