Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators

• Check door seals regularly — Frigidaire gaskets can lose their seal over time, forcing the compressor to work harder
• Keep condenser coils clean underneath or behind the unit to maintain proper cooling efficiency
• Don’t overload the freezer, as this can block airflow and interfere with the defrost cycle
