Very Important Information – Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers – IT’S QUIETER.
Your Direct Feed Wash System dishwasher uses energy-efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may not- hear the drain motor. The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON’T hear.

NOTE
Why Energy Efficient Units run long cycles: Several factors are important to washing dishware. The energy use of the dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don’t use so much energy and less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer.

NOTE
Very Important Information – Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers – IT’S QUIETER.
Your dishwasher with its Precision Direct Wash System has many enhancements to reduce it’s sound level. Still, it is normal to hear some of what is going on inside. The wash cycles include several instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the wash pump running to spray water on the dishware (motor & splashing), and the drain pump running to discharge the dirty water and soils. Variations in the pumping/spraying sounds are normal. During a cycle, the pump switches on and off many times, and the operation switches back and forth between wash arms to provide the best cleaning performance.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON’T hear.
Getting Started

1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
   The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
5. Select desired OPTION (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is at or near 120 ºfor optimal performance (See Water Temperature). Turn the water off.
7. To start, press  START/CANCEL pad.
8. Close door to latch.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate FFID2426TW dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when the HI-TEMP WASH option has not to be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads.

Option Selections
Hi-Temp Wash Option
When the HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140 ºF (60 ºC).
This increase in water temperature helps the dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when the HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
When the HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until the end of the cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a  second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.

Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155 o F (68 o C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles. Only these anitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120 o F (49 o C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120 o F (49 o C). To turn off the  SANITIZE option, press the pada a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Delay Start 
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2-4-6 hours.
To activate the delay start option, press the pad once for a 2-hour delay, twice for 4 hours, and three times for 6 hours. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until the cycle starts.
Press the START/CANCEL pad to start the delay option. If the delay option is interrupted, the START/CANCEL pad will have to be pressed again to return to delay option.
To cancel the DELAY START option and to begin the selected cycle before the delay period is over, press and hold the START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds.
Air Dry 
When AIR DRY is selected the heater will be de-activated during the drying phase of the selected wash cycle. This will slightly lower the energy use but will increase the likelihood that the dishware will not dry completely. If AIR DRY is not selected the heater will be activated during the drying phase of the selected wash cycle.
Drying Tip 
Select the NORMAL WASH and HI-TEMP WASH pads along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance.

Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY pad for 3  seconds while the door is open. An indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when the controls are locked and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the AIR  DRY pad until the indicator light goes out.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press and hold the START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds. The light above the cycle and option selected will go out, and the START/ CANCEL light will remain illuminated, the dishwasher will start a 90-second drain. At the end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.
Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash.
Whether heated or unheated dry is selected the DRYING light will come on during the drying portion of the cycle.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE cycle is finished. If the dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light will come on at the end of the cycle and remain on until the door is opened.
The DishSense™  Technology checks the soil level on your dishes in the HEAVY WASH, NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes.  Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature.

Not all Cycles are available on all models.

* Select the NORMAL WASH and HI-TEMP WASH pads along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance.
Cycle Chart

* Hi-Temp and Sanitize are automatically selected with this cycle for best Wash and Dry performance.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,  lemon juice, and tomato-based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure the disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. 
The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may occur if placed in the bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in the bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of the middle spray arm.

Upper Rack
The UPPER RACK cycle directs cleaning only to items in the upper rack and can be used to was a wide assortment of items. It is useful for washing partial loads – especially when the upper rack fills up with glasses and the lower rack is still empty. STEMWARE HOLDER/ CUPSHELVES are not available on all models.

Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on the upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.

Place the clips of the cup shelf over the horizontal rack wires and push them down to attach the cup shelf onto the second wire of the upper rack.

Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and saucepans with the soiled surfaces facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Spin the middle spray arm to make sure that tall items do not block the rotation. Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the lower spray arm rotation.

Loading the Silverware Basket
CAUTION
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase the washability of the silverware. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

CAUTION
The use of industrial-grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.
Filing the Detergent Dispenser 
The detergent dispenser has two detergent cups. The smaller one is for addition to the pre-wash and the larger is for release to the main wash.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause overuse sing.
• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tablets or packets, use only one tablet or packet, place in the main wash cup, and close.
• Add detergent just before starting the cycle.
•  Store detergent in a cool, dry location. The moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup open by pressing the Cover Latch. 
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water’s hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

Detergent Usage Chart

As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough and then a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. However, when – using automatic dishwashing detergent tablets or packets simply place one in the main wash cup.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots. With it water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in the rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversud sing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140  washes, depending on the setting.

Drying Tip
Select the NORMAL WASH and HI-TEMP WASH pads along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance.

Water Pressure
The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low Water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting the dishwasher.

Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120 ºF (49 ºC) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.
• If the temperature is below 120 º F (49ºC), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from the pipe.

NOTE
The use of industrial-grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household-grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

To empty the glass trap:

1. Grasp the glass trap’s handle and rotate it 90 ºclockwise while pressing down on the center of the wash arm.
2. Grab the spray arm in the center and lift the spray arm and glass trap assembly up and out form the dishwasher.
3. Tip the assembly over an appropriate container and tap it to empty the glass trap.
   OR, separate the glass trap – pull the glass trap handle toward you, then up, then further toward you to slide it away from the rest of the assembly; empty it into an appropriate container; then slide the glass trap back into the assembly.
4. Place the assembly back into position, press down on the arm at the center and rotate the glass trap handle 90º counterclockwise being sure the glass trap ends in the orientation shown in the image above. To avoid damage to your unit make sure the spray arm and glass trap is fully snapped in place.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes

• Choose another cycle for a longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low-should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be about 120o F (49 o C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
• Use Fresh Detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
• Do not overload the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Check to verify that the glass trap is maintained and installed properly (See Care and Cleaning).

Dishes not Dry

• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid).
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120 o F (49 o C).
• Check for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left and right of the upper rack so they will be held in a tilted position.

Drying Tip 

• Select the NORMAL WASH and HI-TEMP WASH pads along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance.
• Containers, bowls, pots/pans, and any dishware with concave surfaces that can collect water should be placed in the rack facing or angled down so that water is able to  rain even from the lowest point.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.

Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy

•  Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.
• Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that the proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Dispenser).
• Home water pressure may be too low-it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when the rack is pushed in.
• Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.

Vapor at Vent

• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

Dishware Stained or Discolored 

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/ black marks when they rub against other items. Load Properly.

• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware baskets can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

Water in Bottom of Tub 

• Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Do not Drain Properly).

Cycle Takes a Long Time 

• The cycle may have been automatically lengthened to reach key temperatures due to some factor such as a cool water supply or a large load of dishes.
• The Delay Start option may have been selected.
• Choose lower temperature options to shorten the cycle.
•  Cycles that are soil-sensing adjust automatically to assure a good wash – heavier soils will elicit a longer cycle response.

Etching

• Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water causes damage that looks like a film but cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature by selecting one of the lower temperature options.

Detergent Left in Cups

• The detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.

• Assure the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Assure the drain hose isn’t kinked.
• Make sure the cycle is complete, not in a pause.
• Assure the glass trap is maintained and installed properly assuring no clogs (See Care and Cleaning).

Dishwasher has an Odor 

• Soiled dishes left in the dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

Stains on Tub Interior

• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen the staining.

Opening the door during cycle

• If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL the pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle and option, this must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to continue the cycle.

Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware
Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions:

1. Load clean dishes and glasses in a normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close the door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow the dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 8 minutes).
5. Open the door, pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher.
6. Close the door and allow the cycle to finish.

How do you fix the ER code on a Frigidaire dishwasher?

The Fix: Pressing and holding the cancel button or turning off the power to the dishwasher for five minutes should clear the error code.

Where is Frigidaire dishwasher serial number?

Your dishwasher’s serial number may vary, but is most commonly found in one of two places. Either along the interior side of the door or along the right side of the tub of the dishwasher and is visible when the door is open.

How do you reset a Frigidaire dishwasher?

Find the cancel button on the far-right side of the control panel. To reset the dishwasher, hold this button down for 3 seconds or until the light display disappears or changes. This is the quickest way to shut off your dishwasher without disconnecting the power.

Should a dishwasher tilt backwards?

A dishwasher that leans in one direction can cause water to leak. If it leans forward, you might notice water leaking from underneath the door. A minor leak might go unnoticed, but the dishwasher might start leaking so much that the water pools on the floor near the appliance.

Why does my dishwasher lean forward?

The most common reason why dishwashers tilt forward when opened is because of improper installation. Modern-day dishwashers are typically sold with installation kits that consist of brackets and screws.

Where is the fuse on Frigidaire dishwasher?

Thermal fuse is a safety device located behind control panel preventing the control board from overheating.

Why is my Frigidaire dishwasher blinking and not starting?

If your Frigidaire dishwasher isn’t starting and the lights on your control panel are flashing, it might be because the drain pump has faulty. The drain pump is used to get rid of the water in the tub after you’ve finished washing dishes. It uses an impeller to push water out of the dishwasher and into the drain hose.

Is there a filter in the Frigidaire dishwasher?

Frigidaire’s line of home dishwasher appliances are equipped with filter assemblies that help remove particles of food from the dishwasher during operation. Proper removal of food and other solid waste from the dishwasher ensures your dishes are properly cleaned during their washing cycle.

FAQS

Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?

Temp changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temps. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.

This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?

We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Guide for detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature or call us if you need help!

Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?

Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Watch food to prevent burning. Find more troubleshooting tips in the back of your Use & Care Guide.

Does this range have a downdraft vent

There’s no external exhaust vent

Is ceramic or glass top?

Glass

What is Air Fry?

Air Fry allows you to make healthier, crispy and delicious meals for the entire family – right in your oven.

How do I use it?

Select “Air Fry” on the Control Panel.
Set desired cooking temperature.
Let the convection fan “fry” your food.
Enjoy healthier, yummy family favorites!

Do I need to use an Air Fry tray to get the best results?

We recommend using our ReadyCook™ Air Fry Tray. It allows you to get that delicious, crunchy texture, faster than dark nonstick bakeware.

How do I limit the amount of smoke when using the ReadyCook™ Air Fry Tray?

Air Fry uses superheated air to cook food fast and make it crunchy. Although Air Fry uses hot air to cook, remember that you are still frying your food so it gets crispy! When some high-fat or greasy foods (like fresh wings) meet that hot air inside an oven, some smoke is normal. If Air Fry is making a lot of smoke, try these tips:
When using the Air Fry Tray, put a baking sheet on a rack or two below the Air Fry Tray. This keeps drips and crumbs from landing on the oven bottom, where they can burn and create smoke. For additional protection, place some foil-lined parchment paper on the baking sheet. Parchment paper traps oil and keeps it from smoking.
Use cooking oils that can stand up to a high temperature like avocado, grapeseed, and peanut oils. Cooking sprays made from these oils are available at the grocery store.
Keep foil, parchment paper, and bakeware of the bottom of the oven. The oven bottom needs to stay clear so air can circulate.
Don’t overcrowd the food on your baking sheet or on the Air Fry Tray. If air can’t circulate around each item, the cooking and crisping process may slow down and allow more grease to settle or drip.
If your catch-tray is smoking, try placing parchment paper on it to hold grease. For extra moist foods, you may have to use more.
Some foods, like fresh wings and some vegetables, have a lot of moisture and may drip more than you expect. For items that might drip, use a pan with low sides if you’re not using an Air Fry Tray.
Air Fry uses superheated air, so if your oven bottom already has drips or crumbs on it (it happens!), those can smoke. Keep your oven bottom clean.
If you have an oven vent, use it when cooking with Air Fry, like you would when using the cooktop.

How do I improve my baking results with my Frigidaire range?

You may be surprised to learn your bakeware can impact your baking results. By using the proper rack position, you can improve your baking results – – especially if you are baking on multiple racks. Your Owner’s Manual has great tips and tricks to optimize your baking performance and recommended rack positions based on food type. For more information or tips to try, review the “Before You Call” section of your Owner’s Manual if you are experiencing any issues with your baking performance.

BEFORE FIRST USE

This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced microcomputer for easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and press the ON button. You can select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button. When first turning on the unit or during icemaking cycles, the compressor will stay idle for 3 minutes, while energizing.
There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The icemaker also has built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, automatically shutting down the system when necessary.
Please read carefully.

1. Do not turn the icemaker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. When the icemaker is moved or transported, please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its proper place.
2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.
3. The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
4. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the icemaker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.

USE YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Ensure that the Drain Plug underneath the front of the unit is closed and the Water Tube Screen is in place.
2. Plug the Ice Maker into the wall outlet and the green power indicator light will blink (approximately every 5 seconds).
3. Open the Cover and remove the Ice Basket.
4. Fill the Water Reservoir. NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark at the back of the Water Reservoir.
5. Replace the Ice Basket and close the Cover.
6. Press the Power Button and the green indicator light will remain on. To change between either the small or large ice size, press the Select button until the light is lit up beside the desired ice size.
7. The first ice-making cycle will last approximately 8 – 13 minutes depending on the ice size that is selected. The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the Water Tray situated below the Evaporator Fingers. Over the next 8 – 13 minutes ice forms on the Evaporator Fingers. Once this has been completed, the Ice Tray will tilt backward and the remaining water in the Ice Tray is drained back into the Water Reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the Evaporator Fingers and pushed forward into the Ice Basket by the Ice Shovel. The Ice Tray will automatically move back into position under the Evaporator Fingers and start the next cycle.
8. The ‘Ice Full’ LED light will light up when the ice basket is full and the Ice Maker will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the Ice Basket with the Ice Scoop. Once the Ice Basket has been emptied and the Cover closed, the Ice Maker will restart its ice-making function automatically. IMPORTANT: Wait 3 minutes then press the Power Button to restart the ice-making function.
9. The `Add Water’ LED light will light up when there is no more water in the Water Reservoir and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. Press the Power Button once (the Power Button will flash every 5 seconds). Remove the Ice Basket and add water to the Water Reservoir.
   NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark at the back of the Water Reservoir. Replace the Ice Basket and close the Cover. IMPORTANT: Wait 3 minutes then press the Power Button to restart the ice-making function.
10. When you have finished making ice, transfer the ice to a freezer. NOTE: The ice will last in the Ice Maker for up to an 18 hour period, depending on the ambient temperature. Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the Power Button. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

FAQS

What’s the lowest room temp the ice maker can be used in? i.e. a cold garage in the winter time okay?

The surround temperature can affect the cooling capacity of this ice maker . In winter , we do not recommend to use in the garage .

What sizes are the cubes?

Mine has a selector button for “small or large” cubes. Small cubes are the diameter of adult small finger. Large is about thumb size.

Does this machine make chewable (soft) ice?

This machine makes bullet shaped ice that is not chewable/soft.

What is the power consumption from someone who can read the info on his/her ice maker?

As per the User Guide – the rated power of the unit is 105W

Why is there a puddle of water on the floor under my refrigerator?

This is a common occurrence with most refrigerator/freezers. The water is from the condensation that forms when the refrigerator/freezer cools. This moisture is not harmful and will evaporate when the unit is in use.

What does the self clean cycle do? Are you supposed to add water? The instructions are not clear.

The self-clean cycle is simply a chemical wash, it’s not a mechanical procedure. We’ve learned it’s not enough, you have to scrub the internal mechanisms with a silicone brush to remove residue. It’s a visual process and easy to do with the right brush. Yes, use water and when residue is broken loose, tip the unit over to drain in the sink. It’s easy enough and if you don’t get all the residue off, it doesn’t matter. Use fitered water if you want the cleanest ice.

Does the ice taste funny and is the ice really hard?

The shape of the ice cube is the reason I purchased this machine. The taste is unaltered and the ice cubes are not frozen hard. They don’t melt quickly but they are too small to be super hard. Their size is advantageous to making the drink cold quickly.

Where do you add the water

You open the lid, and pour potable water into the water reservoir which is below the ice storage basket.

Where do i purchase the ice tray for this machine , mine didn’t come with one

The ice tray should be included in the package. Live chat with Amazon to help resolve this issue. Amazon should liase with the seller to either get you a full replacement or at least get the seller to send you the missing ice tray as without the tray the ice maker is useless.

How many cubes does it make at a time ?

10 cylindrical shaped cubes approximately 1″ long x 3/4″ diameter

Where is this made?

China

Does this make nugget ice?

It makes bullet shaped ice with a hole in the middle and you have a choice of large or small.

How long will ice last in the ice machine?

If left on it will continually make ice. If the ice melts in the machine it will get recycled back to ice!

Where do I place the ice scoop?

You can store the ice scoop in a drawer.

Where is the max line for water?

The MAX Line for water is located at the back of the Water Reservoir. It is intended to show the maximum fill level for water.

So how many rounds do you have to do it to make the full 26 pounds?

8 small cubes drop about every 13 min, but just turn it on, do what ever and usually 2 basket’s makes a gallon , yes it takes time, but to me well worth it

are there any portable ice machines that come apart for cleaning??

Not sure

What is the warranty on this ice maker

Don’t recall but we’ve had ours for quite a while and while and it still works great .

How much does it weigh

this unit has weight of 17.8 pounds .

Puts off heat

There is only a sight heat discharge from the left side where the exhaust is (the exhaust is shown in the picture of the item). Other than that no it does not throw off heat.

Power button flashes green when i turn it off. Continuously. How can i get it to stay off like before? Still makes ice fine.

A flashing green power LED indicates the unit is in standby mode.

How long does ice last in this machine? Does it need to be removed and placed in the freezer?

The ice melts at normal rate. If you want to save the ice, you will need to remove it to a freezer.

Is it energy efficient

Yes it is I only run the machine when our ice demand is needed.

Does this machine have a manual or an automatic defrost?

Machine requires no defrost mechanism. The only part of the unit that gets cold enough to make ice is a set of 10 or 12 metal rods that cold water is circulated around to form ice shaped bullets. Once the ice is formed around the rods, the rods are raised out of the water and heated slightly by the unit to cause the ice bullets to fall off the rods where they are then shoveled into the ice holding basket. Note, since the unit does not operate like an ice machine in a refrigerator, i.e. the entire enclosure is not below freezing where the ice is stored, the ice will be in a continuous state of melting away. However, the unit makes ice fast enough that if left alone, it will fill the basket with ice, the ice does not melt so fast you can’t use it. It has an automatic shutoff when the basket gets full and when enough has melted it automatically starts making more. And Yes it has a manual with instructions on cleaning it and operating it.

This Owner’s Guide provides operating instructions for your model. Use your freezer only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide.

Energy Saving Ideas

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.

Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this freezer.

For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play. Remove the door of a freezer when not in use, even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly.

• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.

Other Precautions

• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.

Proper Disposal of Your Refrigerator/Freezer

Risk of child entrap-ment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezer are still dangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:

• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.

First Steps

Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:

Installation

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

Leveling

The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installatioin, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Upright Unit:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To Level Chest Unit:

If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.

Cleaning

• Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

Upright Freezer Door Removal

If door must be removed:

1. Lift up plastic hinge cover and fold back.
2. Use a Phillips® screwdriver to loosen and retighten the screws on the top hinge to ensure that a secure assembly and prevent hinge slippage.
3. Remove the top hinge from cabinet and lift door off the lower hinge pin.
4. After door is removed, remove the two screws from the bottom hinge.
5. To replace door, reverse above order.

Setting the Temperature Control

Cool Down Period

• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It is not necessary to turn control knob to a colder setting while freezing food.

Temperature Control

The temperature control is located inside the freezer on upright models, and on the left outside wall on chest models. The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

NOTE: Your freezer may have some, or all of the features listed below. Become familiar with these features, and their use and care.

Freezer Optional Features

Power On Light

The Power On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to electrical power. The light glows even when the temperature control is turned to OFF. If the light goes out, refer to “Freezer does not run” in the Avoid Service Checklist.

Temp Alarm (audible only or audible with warning light)

This feature is designed to provide a warning of possible malfunction. If the temperature of the food rises to a level unsafe for long-term storage, the buzzer will sound. The red light will also glow on models so equipped. The Temp Alarm feature operates on household electricity. If power fails, the alarm will not perform. An ON/ OFF switch allows you to deactivate the Temp Alarm when not wanted. The freezer is shipped with Temp Alarm in the OFF position. After freezer has run approximately 4 hours, the red light, if equipped, will go off. Then you may activate the Temp Alarm without the alarm sounding.

Press the ON switch to activate the Temp Alarm. To deactivate, press the OFF switch.

If the alarm sounds, be sure freezer is properly leveled, and the door closes freely, and seals properly. If you suspect a technical malfunction, call an authorized servicer immediately.

Power Cord Clamp

The clamp prevents the power cord from being accidently unplugged. Remember when removing or replacing the electrical cord, to remove or replace the power cord clamp.

Power Freeze

Power Freeze allows you to lower your freezer temperature to the lowest possible temperature by pushing the switch to ON. For maximum benefit, Power Freeze should be selected 24 hours before placing a large quantity of unfrozen food into freezer. Food should then be spread throughout freezer compartment to speed up the freezing process. To turn off Power Freeze, manually push the switch to OFF. (This will return compressor to the normal operating mode.)

Power Defrost

The Power Defrost feature will defrost freezer in a fraction of the time usually required. To defrost, remove all food, and follow these steps.

1. Pull out Power Defrost Plunger. Leave door open while defrosting. (Closing freezer door will push in plunger and power defrost will be turned off.)
2. Push Power Defrost Plunger in to restart freezer after defrosting is completed.

NOTE: When defrosting units with the Temp Alarm Feature, turn off the alarm when defrosting. When the freezer reaches the freezing temperature, turn the Temp Alarm back on.

Slide-Out Basket (upright models)

The Slide-Out Basket, located at the bottom of the freezer provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, pull out, and lift up.

Juice Can Rack (upright models)

The Juice Can Rack on the freezer door is specially ridged to store juice cans and prevent them from rolling out of the shelf.

Security Lock with Pop-Out Key

This security lock fastens the door snugly, ensuring that stored food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, push the key into the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it has been turned.

Interior Light

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same wattage.

Adjustable Shelf (upright models)

This shelf can be moved to one of two positions. Lift the shelf up and out to move to the desired position.

Defrost Drain

The defrost drain provides a method of draining the water during defrosting and cleaning. See “Defrosting” in Care and Cleaning Section.

Slide-Aside Basket (chest models)

This basket helps organize odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, slide the basket aside or lift out.

Divider/Drain Pan (chest models)

The Divider/Drain Pan doubles as a convenient storage area and serves as a shallow drain pan when defrosting. To remove, lift pan straight up out of the supports, and out of the chest.

Fast Freezing Shelves (upright models)

These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze foods quickly and allow cold air to constantly circulate throughout the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects such as ice picks or scrapers to clean the shelves. This could damage the shelves and reduce their cooling ability. These shelves are not adjustable.

Tilt-Out Shelf

This shelf is located inside on the freezer door and provides additional storage space.

To access an item, tilt top of “basket” shelf down.

Drop Front Shelf (upright models)

The Drop Front Shelf, located at the bottom of the freezer, provides a separate compartment for small irregular shaped items or large, bulky items. Lift the shelf front up and out to remove.

Care and Cleaning

Caution: Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands

WARNNING: If leaving freezer door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the freezer and become entrapped. Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.

• On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter freezer.
• On chest models with a defrost drain, place a shallow pan or the Divider/Drain Pan (some models) beneath the drain outlet (Figure 2). A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain (Figure 3). If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 4). Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
• On models without a defrost drain, place towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers.
• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep pans with hot water and place them on the freezer bottom. Close the freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary.

Cleaning the Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts. Wash the removable parts and door basket with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.

Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item.

Power Failure/Freezer Failure

Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under “Dry Ice,”

“Dairies,” or “Ice Cream Manufacturers” for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.

If the freezer has stopped operating, see “Freezer does not run” in the Avoid Service Checklist Section of this manual. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized servicer immediately.

If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under “Frozen Food Locker Plants.”

Avoid Service Checklist

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENC SOLUTION

FREEZER DOES NOT RUN

Check to ensure that freezer is not plugged into a circuit that has ground fault interrupt. If you are unsure about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician. Temperature control is in the OFF position. See Setting the Temperature Control Section.

Freezer may not be plugged in, or plug may be loose. Be sure plug is tightly pushed into electrical outlet.

House fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has tripped. Check/reset circuit breaker, or replace fuse with 15 amp. time delay fuse.

Power outage. Check house lights. Call local electric company

Freezer runs too much or too long.

Room or outside weather is hot. It is normal for the freezer to work harder under these conditions.

Freezer had recently been disconnected for a period of time. Freezer requires 4 hours to cool down completely.

Large amounts of warm or hot food have been stored recently. Warm food will cause the freezer to run more until the desired temperature is reached.

Door is kept open too long or too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened. Open the door less often.

Freezer door may be slightly open. See Occurrence “Door Problems.”

Temperatures inside the freezer are too cold.

Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause freezer to run longer in order to maintain desired temperature.

FAQS

Is this upright freezer frost free?

It is a manual defrost unit. BTW manual defrost units have some benefits – less expensive to operate (use less electricity) and frost free freezers tend to dry the frozen foods out.

How do I know if my freezer is working properly?

The freezer should be kept at 0°F (-18°C). If the temperature rises above 0°F (-18°C), it is working properly. If the temperature falls below 0°F (-18°C), there may be a problem with the freezer. Check the temperature with an appliance thermometer. If the freezer is not working properly, contact your dealer or call 1-800-898-9099 for assistance.

How do I defrost my freezer?

The automatic defrost system keeps frost from building up on the evaporator coils. This system works by automatically turning off the compressor and allowing frost to melt and drip into a pan. When the pan becomes full, it will automatically shut off and allow the compressor to start again. This cycle will continue until all of the frost has melted. It is normal for some frost to remain in the pan after a cycle has completed. If you have questions about your automatic defrost system, contact your dealer or call 1-800-898-9099 for assistance.

What are some tips for using my freezer?

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. Frozen foods should be stored in airtight containers or heavy-duty plastic bags to prevent loss of flavor and moisture from open packages. Frozen foods should be stored at 0°F (-18°C) or lower to maintain quality and food safety. Higher temperatures can cause loss of flavor and nutrition, as well as shorten shelf life of frozen foods. Use an appliance thermometer to check that your freezer’s temperature is consistently at 0°F (-18°C). Do not store carbonated beverages in your freezer because they may explode due to buildup of pressure caused by freezing temperatures. Do not store medications in your freezer because they may become less effective if exposed to freezing temperatures; check with your pharmacist for more information on how cold temperatures can affect medications you take regularly.

Why is my freezer all frosted?

Moisture from room ambient air entering the freezer and freezing (make sure the door is closed properly and is sealing properly) – try closing the door on a piece of paper and see if it is difficult to pull out….that’s a good test of the door seal. You can also lubricate the gasket with a bit of Vaseline to make it seal better.
Check the freezer door alignment to make sure the door lines up perfectly with the freezer body.
Frost is caused by the moisture in foods you are freezing evaporating and condensing on the walls of the freezer. Make sure you are sealing foods you are freezing well.
Frost is caused by the moisture in room air condensing and freezing when the freezer door is opened. Try to open the freezer door as little as possible and for as short a time as possible.

Can we used this freezer with regular outlets?

The unit is designed to be powered by a 120V 60Hz 15A outlet (typical in most homes and offices).

How long does it take before you have to defrost it?

The frequency of defrosting is dependent upon the relative humidity in the unit location, how often and how long the door is opened, the moisture content of the foods stored in the freezer and the tightness of the door seal.
Make sure the unit is level.
The door seal can be adjusted via the hinges.
The unit can be levelled by adjusting the legs.
Make sure frozen foods are packaged tightly in plastic bags.

Does the Frigidaire Upright 6.5 cu ft Freezer use a standard 3-prong wall socket plug?

Yes. The unit is designed to be plugged into a standard North American 120V 60 Hz 15A 3 prong AC receptacle.

Frigidaire Refrigerator Error Codes

These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Frigidaire French-door refrigerator.
Frigidaire refrigerator error codes appear in the temperature display. Look up the error code displayed and follow the troubleshooting to fix the problem that’s causing the code.
To get the parts you need to fix a problem that’s causing an error code, search for your model number to find a complete list of replacement parts for your Frigidaire refrigerator.

FAQS

How do you reset the code on a Frigidaire refrigerator?

To try and clear the SY CE error code the easiest way, try unplugging your Frigidaire Refrigerator for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes plug the refrigerator back in. This may have reset the control board and cleared the error code.

What does error code H1 mean on a Frigidaire refrigerator?

One such error code that Frigidaire fridges display is H1. The H1 error code means that the freezer sensor has shorted. To fix the underlying cause of the problem, you need to check the thermistor and if it’s defective, replace it.

What does error code SY EF mean on a Frigidaire refrigerator?

Then the sound was gone, but the refrigerator was bad to freeze and appeared error code SY EF. This code means that it is not cold enough inside the freezer. After the inspection, it was found that the blades of the Evaporator fan are blocked by ice and the circulation of cold air inside does not occur.

Can you reset a refrigerator by unplugging it?

Yes, unplugging the refrigerator will reset the appliance, provided you leave the refrigerator unplugged and undisturbed for 45 to 50 minutes. When the refrigerator is unplugged, do not open the doors.

I have a 3 yr old Frigidaire refrigerator with a temperature control board that is not working. I have checked the fuse and it is fine. How can I check the board?

If you’re not getting any power to the board, then you’ll need to check for power at the plug going into the board. You can do this by using a volt meter. Set the meter to read volts DC and put one probe on one of the terminals on the plug and touch the other probe to each of the other terminals on the plug. If you get voltage reading on any of those terminals, then you know that there is power getting to that plug and that it is not a problem with the harness going from that plug to the board.
If you don’t get any voltage readings, then you’ll need to trace back from where that harness goes into your refrigerator and check for continuity there. The harness should go into a connector block inside your refrigerator, so check continuity between each wire in that harness and each terminal in that connector block. If there is no continuity between any wire in that harness and any terminal in that connector block, then you’ll need to replace either your harness or your connector block (or both).
If you do have continuity between at least one wire in that harness and one terminal in that connector block, then trace back from where those wires go into your refrigerator until you find where they connect to something else. At that point, unplug whatever it is they connect to and use your multimeter again to test for continuity between each wire in your harness and each terminal on whatever it was you unplugged. If there is no continuity between any wire in your harness and any terminal on whatever it was you unplugged, then you’ll need to replace whatever it was you unplugged (or at least its harness).
If there is continuity between at least one wire in your harness and at least one terminal on whatever it was you unplugged, then trace back from where those wires go into whatever it was they connected to until you find where they connect to something else. At that point, unplug whatever it is they connect to and use your multimeter again to test for continuity between each wire in your harness and each terminal on whatever it was you unplugged.
If there is no continuity between any wire in your harness and any terminal on whatever it was you unplugged, then you’ll need to replace whatever it was you unplugged (or at least its harness).

Why is my Frigidaire refrigerator not cooling?

A Frigidaire refrigerator not cooling properly may have a dirty or damaged seal, allowing cold air to escape and warm air to enter. Assess the door seal for dirt and debris or signs of damage like rips or tears.

What number should my Frigidaire refrigerator be set at 1 9?

Ideally, you want to set your Frigidaire freezer to number 8 or 9. Frigidaire’s numeric system works from warmest to coolest, making 8 and 9 your freezer’s two coldest settings.

What would cause a refrigerator to stop getting cold?

Dirty condenser coils – Over time, the condenser coils can collect dirt, dust, and hair which hinder the coils’ ability to dissipate the heat from the refrigerant passing through the coils. This can cause the refrigerator to stop cooling.

What is the first thing to check when refrigerator stops working?

The first thing to check is the breaker (in your home’s electrical service panel) of the circuit serving the fridge. Most homes have a dedicated 20-amp circuit for the fridge alone, while older homes may have it on a general kitchen circuit.

What number should a fridge be on 1 7?

You can use the fridge temperature setting 1-7 on any type of your commercial fridge. I have also shared the temperature which is cold and better for the fridge. The best way to keep food cold is to keep it in the refrigerator: You should aim for a temperature range of 35°-38°F (or 1.7°-3.3°C).

Should quick freeze be on or off?

We recommend that you turn on the fast freeze function about three hours before placing the food in the freezer. Fresh food that is frozen at a normal rate will have larger ice crystals in it when compared to food that is fast frozen.

Does unplugging a refrigerator damage it?

The compressor will not start if you unplug and re-plug your refrigerator immediately. A build-up of pressure usually causes this. Since it is at the core of the refrigeration cycle, the compressor is critical. Plugging and unplugging the refrigerator right away can damage the compressor.

Why is my refrigerator warm?

If there are too many items in your fresh food compartment, that cold air may not circulate properly, resulting in a refrigerator that’s warm. It’s fairly common for a refrigerator to feel warm if it’s overstuffed, and this problem is obviously easy to resolve

What number should a Frigidaire refrigerator be set at?

For refrigerators with electronic controls (most Side-by-Side and French-Door refrigerators) – Fresh food compartment should be set for 37 degrees Fahrenheit and the freezer should be set for 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to “0” will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components.
To turn off power to your refrigerator you
must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacleCFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere. If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connec-tions comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• Do not re-use compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
•  A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
  

NOTE
Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305513409 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing – Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch / 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.  If you use braided flexible stainless steel tubing – The nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten nut onto valve.

8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the “I” position (rear mounted).
   NOTE
   These instructions do not cover after market ice maker installation. Instructions in after market ice maker kit should be used.

ICE SERVICE

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, minimal ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately one to two days to fill the ice container. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.

Turning your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full.IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire signal arm in the ON position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.

Refrigerator & Freezer Controls

NOTE
When first turning refrigerator on, adjust control to recommended. This is the recom-mended initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature control to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents the refrigerator from cooling, but does not dis-connect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Temperature Adjustment

• Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the knob towards coldest.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the knob towards cold.

Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. The auxiliary freezer control can be left at the factory pre-set (mid position) or adjusted as desired; it has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.

CAUTION
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT
If you install your refrigerator in a garage or other unheated area, you may experience freezer temperature problems during the winter months when temperatures dip below 55° F.
Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage Kit will lower the minimum operating temperature of your unit to 34° F. This kit can be ordered by calling the phone number listed at the bottom of the warranty page or back cover at an additional cost.

STORAGE FEATURES

CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

Shelf Adjustment

Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food.
To adjust sliding shelves:

1. Remove shelf by pulling forward to stop position.
2. Lift front edge up and pull out.

To replace shelf, rest side edges on any pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf back into position.

Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans.
Frequently used items can be quickly selected.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general food storage section, is intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Door rack
Some models have door racks or bins that can accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-sized jars and containers.
To remove door rack:

1. Push on rack sides to release from locking tabs.
2. Pull straight out.

To install door rack:

1. Push rack straight ahead.
2. You will hear the sides lock into the tabs.

STORAGE FEATURES

Crisper Humidity Control (some models)
The crisper humidity control, present on the crisper drawers of some models, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity.
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humid-ity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.

Crispers (some models)
The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator.Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

1. Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
2. Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
3. Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
   IMPORTANT 
   During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.
4. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
5. Automatic Defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
6. Condenser fan You may hear air being  forced through the condenser.
7. Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in the past. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
8. Water valve If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.
9. Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
10. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.

CARE AND CLEANING

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.

Connecting Ice Maker to Water Supply

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:

• Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended
  for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line preferably made of Braided
  Stainless Steel or Braided Poly with integral fittings for connection to the refrigerator and the valve at the wall. If the home has a ¼” copper line, and the owner prefers to keep the copper line, a compression fitting ferrule (sleeve) and nut should be replaced each time the fitting is reused.

 NOTE
Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5304437642 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5304493869 (with a 6′ Polyline Waterline). Please refer to www.frigidaire.com.
NOTE
Water lines should be long enough to allow the refrigerator to roll forward for cleaning or service. Typically, 6 ft. length works well for braided Stainless or Poly kits. A ¼” copper line should be longer to coil extra length behind the refrigerator so movement will not kink the copper line.

Connecting Ice Maker to Water Supply

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from an electrical power source.
2. Place the end of the water supply line into the sink or a bucket.
   Turn ON the water supply and flush the supply line until the water is clear.
   Turn OFF the water supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing, slide the brass compression nut and then ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply line.
   Push the water supply line into the water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ in. / 6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into the valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto the valve.
   Tighten another ½ turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See below.
   
5. Secure the copper line to the clamp (as shown), using the existing screw.
   If you use braided flexible stainless steel tubing, the nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide the nut onto the valve inlet and finger tighten the nut onto the valve. Tighten another ½ turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See below.
   
6. With the steel clamp and the screw, secure the water supply line to the rear panel of the refrigerator as shown.
7. To turn the ice maker on, press the ice maker’s On/ Off power switch so the LED is steadily illuminated.
   
8. Turn ON the water supply at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
9. Reconnect the refrigerator to an electrical power source.

Ice Service

If your refrigerator has an automatic icemaker, minimal ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice bin.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice bin under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/Off button. The button will illuminate in green when the ice maker is On.
Turning Your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice makers On/Off button. The ice maker also stops producing ice automatically when the bin is full, and then it resumes when the level in the bin drops.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve can make a loud chattering noise.
Ice Production: What To Expect
The ice maker will produce about 2 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
Note: You can make more ice by setting the freezer to a colder setting. Ice is produced at a rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.
Ice Maker Tips
Remember that water quality determines your ice quality. If the water source uses a water softener, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.

• Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for short vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

FAQ’S

What is the purpose of the water filter?

The water filter is a sediment filter that reduces particulates in the water. It also reduces chlorine taste and odor. The filter may be cleaned and reused.

Do I need to install a water filter?

If you have hard water, it is recommended that you install a water filter.

What is the purpose of the ice maker shutoff arm?

The ice maker shutoff arm is used to turn off the ice maker when not in use.

How do I know if my refrigerator has a hot gas valve or a cold gas valve?

If your refrigerator has a hot gas valve, it will have an exhaust vent on the back wall of your refrigerator compartment. If your refrigerator does not have an exhaust vent, it has a cold gas valve.

Does the Frigidaire ice maker turn off automatically?

To stop the ice maker, simply lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. Keep in mind the ice maker will also turn off automatically when the ice container/bin is full.

Why is my automatic ice maker not working?

If your ice maker isn’t producing ice at all or is producing crescents or cubes that are smaller than usual, it’s typically indicative of a clog somewhere along the supply line. Cause: A common cause for a clog is frozen water in the line. Fix: To repair a frozen line, slide the refrigerator and unplug it.

How do you reset a Frigidaire ice maker?

The reset button on a Frigidaire ice maker is usually located behind the control panel. To access it, you will need to remove the control panel. Once you have removed the control panel, you should be able to see the reset button. Press and hold it for 5 seconds to reset the ice maker.

How long does it take for Frigidaire ice maker to make ice?

After the refrigerator is installed and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the ice bin to fill completely.

Why is my Frigidaire ice maker so slow?

The top reasons for a slow ice maker inside of a freezer are incorrect temperature setting, too much or too little food inside, and a clogged water line or filter.

What does quick ice mean on Frigidaire?

The Quick Ice feature is found on select dispenser model refrigerators to help speed up the production of ice. When the Quick Ice button is pressed on the dispenser control, a fan will blow over the icemaker, accelerating ice production by up to 48%.

How long does it take to make ice after changing water filter?

After replacing the water filter, it takes approximately 6 to 12 hours for the ice maker to start producing ice again. It might take longer in some cases. It is advisable to throw out the first few batches of ice from the ice maker (at least 30 ice cubes) to ensure the ice you are consuming is made from clean water.

Will a dirty water filter stop ice maker?

A clogged or incorrectly installed water filter can reduce the water flow to the ice maker and dispenser and could cause one or more of the following: Ice cubes to be thin or hollow. Odd tasting ice or water. Low ice production.
