POTENTIAL CAUSE
• Cut-off and cut-on pressures are
too low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in regen-
erative phase.
• As warmer tap water goes through
the filter and enters the water tank
the chilled water is pushed through
to the dispenser. Once the chilled
water is used up it will take several
hours to bring the freshly replaced
water to a cooler temperature.
• Door was closed too hard, causing
other door to open slightly.
• Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on
the floor when moved slightly.
• Refrigerator is touching a wall or
cabinet.
• Food is touching shelf on top of
drawer.
• Track that drawers slide on is dirty.
• 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.
• 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 refrigerator
at a constant temperature.
• Electronic control system has de-
tected a performance 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 inside refrigerator to meet
warm air from outside.
COMMON SOLUTION
• 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 dur-
ing the regenerative phase.
• Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
• Close both doors gently.
• Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrig-
erator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
• Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrig-
erator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
• Remove top layer of items in drawer.
• Ensure drawer is properly installed on track.
• Clean drawer, rollers, and track. See Care & Cleaning.
• 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 block-
ing 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 temperature
constant.
• Call your Frigidaire service representative, who can interpret 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 collecting in
bottom of drawer is normal.
• This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the
moisture should disappear.
• See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/
DRAWERS.
