Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the defrost heater in my Frigidaire upright freezer?
The defrost heater is located behind the evaporator panel inside the freezer compartment. You'll need to remove the shelves and then unscrew or unclip the evaporator panel to access the heater.
•What if my garage temperature is consistently below the freezer's operating range?
If the garage temperature is too low, consider moving the freezer to a more suitable location, like inside the house. Alternatively, some freezers are designed to operate in colder environments. Look for models specifically rated for garage use.
•Where is the defrost timer located on my older Frigidaire freezer model?
On older Frigidaire models, the defrost timer is usually located behind the control panel at the top front of the freezer. It's a small, round dial with a screw that you can manually turn to initiate the defrost cycle. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to access the control panel.
