Frigidaire Side By Side Refrigerator Temperature Settings

If they aren t cleaned a couple times a year the refrigerator won t be efficient.

Frigidaire side by side refrigerator temperature settings.

When the frigidaire refrigerator makes its way from the factory to the showroom floor where it is placed for purchase it is automatically set at 37 degrees fahrenheit. And on the fridge side 28 30 degrees. 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. If you set the temperature higher or lower than this it can cause your unit to use more energy or less and can effect the food inside your refrigerator.

I have always had the freezer set at 0 degrees and the refrigerator set at 33 degrees and they have always remained at those temperatures that is until the past couple of weeks. Open the refrigerator side door and find the temperature control panel. I have a 2 year old frigidaire side by side refrigerator with digital temperature readouts located in the refrigerator side. Temp on freezer side remains at 0.

Your refrigerator should be below 40 degrees f to be safe. If dirty coils aren t the problem check and reset the temperature in. Now the refrigerator has stayed at 33 degrees but the freezer temp keeps changing on its. A big problem with side by sides is their tall compartments typically mean things are much colder near the top and a lot warmer toward the bottom.

The best temperature to suit just about any refrigerator is ideally at 37 degrees f. It can take up to a day for the hulking appliance to reach this preprogrammed temperature once it arrives to your home and is plugged in. If the settings on your temperature control dial seem to be making the fridge too cold or too warm use the thermometer reading to adjust the settings dial until you have the best temperature. I tried multiple times to adjust the temperature settings higher using the touch controls but will not hold.

Your refrigerator should be set at the factory settings of 38 degrees f 3 degrees c in your refrigerator and 0 degrees f 18 degrees c in your freezer. Step 2 locate the freezer fridge on off button to the left of the freezer controls. Exact location of the temperature control panel may depend on the frigidaire model you own but look along the upper edge of the refrigerator side. If the main compartment in your refrigerator is too warm or too cold and adjusting the temperature controls doesn t seem to help first vacuum the compressor and condenser coils.
