STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY Ideas for storing foods Fresh food storage • Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F. • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. • • Store fruits and vegetables in crispers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods. • Do not wash items until you are ready to use them. Remove excess water before placing them inside the unit.

Ice maker is not making enough ice. 1-800-265-8352 (Canada) Frigidaire.
TROUBLESHOOTING Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Automatic Ice Maker (continued) Ice cubes are freezing together. • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time. • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside).

Once the chilled water is used up, it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature. • Water has an odd taste and/or odor. Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
TROUBLESHOOTING Concern Potential Cause Running of Refrigerator Compressor does not run. Refrigerator seems to run too much or too long. Common Solution • Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. • This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes. • Plug at electrical outlet is disconnected. • Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. • House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING 39 Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Water/Moisture/Frost Outside Refrigerator Moisture collects on outside of refrigerator or between doors. • Weather is humid. • This is normal in humid weather.
