COMMON SOLUTION Set freezer control. This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes. Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker. Check house lights. Call local electric company. It's normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open doors less often. Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and contains from blocking door. See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS. Set Fresh Food control to warmer setting until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures. Clean condenser. See Care & Cleaning. This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to keep temperature constant. Call your Frigidaire service representative, who can interpret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital displays. Open household water line valve. See CONCERN column AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER. Replace filter cartridge. Push filter in until you hear a "click". Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply and completely rinse out the tank. Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet. Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only). It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase. The rate of frost buildup and internal sweating increases. See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS. It is not unusual to have moisture on the bottom side of the cover. Move humidity control (some models) to lower setting. Dry items before putting them in the drawer. Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal. This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear. See CONCERN column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS. 32
