Connecting the Water Supply
⚠️ 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.
❗ To Avoid Property Damage:
- Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4 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 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 made of 1/4 inch (6.4mm) 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
- Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
- 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.
- Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
- 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 (1/2 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 stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.
- With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
- Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2 1/2 turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
- Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
- Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the water supply, refer to "How to Prime the Water Supply System" for important information about priming an empty water supply system. Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve, and a water tank. To ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line.

❗ For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
- Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
- Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Continue dispensing water for about four (4) minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE: The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three (3) minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly 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 bin to fill completely.
IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off icon to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and hold the "Ice Off" icon for three (3) seconds to turn the ice maker "ON" or "OFF". The ice maker is turned off when the LED above the "Ice Off" icon is illuminated.
IMPORTANT: Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT: Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
NOTE: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two (2) or three (3) empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT: On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it's been six (6) months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
- If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch icon for three (3) seconds.
- The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
- When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
- If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
- Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
- When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
❗ If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
- Turn off the ice maker.
- Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
- Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
- Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
- Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
- An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
- You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
❗ NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Operation & Care of the Freezer Ice Maker (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill the ice bin in about three (3) days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then discard the first TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least two (2) days to completely fill the bucket on regular ice making mode or 1 1/2 days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four (4) pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, lift the ice maker's wire signal arm to turn it off.

Deli drawer
Ideal for storage of deli meats and cheese.
Doors - Storage bins
The doors to your fresh food compartment use a system of modular storage bins. All of these bins are removable for easy cleaning. Some of them have fixed positions, while others can be adjusted to your needs. Door bins are ideal for storing jars, bottles, cans, and large drink containers. They also enable quick selection of frequently used items.
To change the position of an adjustable door bin:
- Remove all food from door bin.
- Grip the bin firmly with both hands and lift it upward.
- Remove the bin.
- Place the bin just above desired position.
- Lower the bin onto supports until locked in place.
Accessories (varies by model)
Removable Can Dispenser
The can dispenser holds six 12 ounce cans. Insert cans into top of bin and dispense from the bottom.
Dairy compartment
Use the dairy compartment, at the top of the fresh food compartment door, for short-term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter. The dairy compartment is designed to be warmer than the open area and includes a lift-up cover and a dairy divider (select models).
Freezer Features (varies by model)
To Remove Lower Basket
- Remove all items from basket.
- Remove the basket by tilting it forward and lifting it from the retainer clips.
To Remove Upper Basket
- Remove all items from basket.
- Remove basket by pulling baskets out to their full extension and lift out.
To reinstall upper basket, position basket onto the retainer clips making sure the front of the basket rests in the retainer clips on the stabilizer bar.
NOTE: If basket is not resting on stabilizer bar retainer clips, the drawer will not close properly.

Storing Food and Saving Energy
Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
- Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
- Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
- Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
- Wash items and remove excess water.
- Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.
Meat
- Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces.
- Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two (2) days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
- Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or lower.
- A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.
Packaging foods for freezing
- To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
- Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
- Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the freezer
- Prior to grocery shopping, activate “quick freeze” so that on your return you can ensure your newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible.
- Activating "quick freeze" also will help your freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.
- Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
- Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
- Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.
- Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two (2) appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
- Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
- Refer to the "Controls" section for procedures on temperature settings.
Food storage
- Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
- Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
- Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
- Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature change may damage the glass.
Normal Operating Sounds and Sights
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.
The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
- A Evaporator: Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
- B Evaporator fan: You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
- C 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.
- D Automatic ice maker: When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.
- E Electronic control & automatic defrost control: These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
- F Condenser fan: You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
- G Compressor: Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
- H Water valve: Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
- I Drain pan (not removable): You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
- J Condenser: May create minimal sounds from forced air.
- L Ice dispensing paddle: When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound when the solenoid opens and closes the ice chute.
- M Motorized damper: May produce a light humming during operation.
NOTE: Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE: During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
Changing the Filter
Locating the Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (200 gallons/757 liters for PureSource Ultra™™) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
Ordering Replacement Filters
To order your replacement filters, please visit our online store at www.frigidaire.com/store, by calling toll-free at 877-808-4195, or by visiting the dealer where you purchased your refrigerator. Frigidaire recommends that you order extra filters when you first install your refrigerator, and that you replace your filters at least once every six months.

Care & Cleaning
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
- Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
- 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.
NOTE: If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
- Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
- Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.
❗ Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
IMPORTANT: If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
