Frigidaire FFTR1835VW how to set the refrigerator and freezer temperature
When the refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold. At first start-up, set the controls to Recommended and adjust after 24 hours.
Steps
- Turn the refrigerator control toward Coldest for colder temperatures or toward Cold for warmer temperatures, in small increments.
- Adjust the freezer control the same way if the freezer needs a change. The factory preset is Recommended.
- Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before changing a control again.
Adjusting the refrigerator control changes the temperature in both compartments. If the appliance is in a garage or an area below 50 °F, set the freezer control to its coldest setting. A refrigerator control at OFF stops the compressor but not power to the light and other electrical parts; unplug the power cord to turn off power.
