CONCERN

CAUSE

SOLUTION

RUNNING OF REFRIGERATOR (Continued)
Compressor 

goes off and  

on frequently.

•  Thermostat keeps the 

refrigerator at a con-

stant temperature.

•  This is normal. Refrigerator goes on 

and off to keep temperature constant.

Appliance 

seems to run 

continuously.

•  The appliance is 

equipped with an 

energy-efficient  

variable speed  

compressor. It actual-

ly saves energy run-

ning more frequently.

•  This is normal.

DIGITAL TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Digital tempera-

ture displays  

are flashing.

•  Electronic control 

system has detected a 

performance problem.

•  Call your Frigidaire service represen-

tative, who can interpret any messag-

es or number codes flashing on the 

digital displays.

WATER/MOISTURE/FROST INSIDE REFRIGERATOR
Moisture collects 

on inside of re-

frigerator walls.

•  Weather is hot  

and humid.

•  Door is slightly open.

•  The rate of frost buildup and internal 

sweating increases.

•  See 

CONCERN

 column 

OPENING/

CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS

.

Water collects 

on bottom side 

of drawer cover.

•  Vegetables contain 

and give off moisture.

•  It is not unusual to have moisture on 

the bottom side of the cover.

•  Move humidity control (some mod-

els) to lower setting.

Water collects in 

bottom of drawer.

•  Washed vegetables 

and fruit drain while 

in the drawer.

•  Dry items before putting them in the 

drawer. Water collecting in bottom 

of drawer is normal.

Stored prod-

ucts on top 

shelf freeze

•  Fresh food tempera-

ture setting too cold.

•  Certain products 

stored too close  

to damper / air  

filter housing.

•  Adjust fresh food temperature settings. 

•  Reconfigure top shelf storage to 

allow proper diffusion of air. See 

Damper/Air Filter Housing 

in the

 

FILTER REPLACEMENT 

section.

WATER/MOISTURE/FROST OUTSIDE REFRIGERATOR
Moisture 

collects on 

outside of 

refrigerator or 

between doors.

•  Weather is humid.

 

•  Door is slightly open, 

causing cold air from 

inside refrigerator  

to meet warm air 

from outside.

•  This is normal in humid weather. 

When humidity is lower, the moisture 

should disappear.
