Frigidaire FRS26H5ASBA refrigerator Parts

Yes. We recommend looking up Frigidaire parts by entering your full refrigerator model number (for this unit: FRS26H5ASBA) to pull the correct parts list and diagrams, so you match the right water filter, door gasket, ice maker parts, and other components for your exact build.

Where to find the model number

Your refrigerator’s model number is recorded on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. The FRS26H5ASBA model number is what you will use when searching parts and diagrams in our catalog; see the owner's manual for the serial plate location and recording details.

• Look inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment for the serial plate
• Write down the model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Use the full model number when searching (avoid partial numbers)
• If your model has a dash or suffix on the tag, include it

How model-number lookup helps you get the right part

Model-number lookup filters parts to the versions that fit your refrigerator’s configuration (water and ice system, door style, electrical controls, and more). That matters because similar-looking Frigidaire side-by-side models can use different valves, gaskets, or ice maker components.

Examples of model-matched parts for FRS26H5ASBA

System	Common replacement	Example part on this model page
Water filtration	Refrigerator water filter	Frigidaire puresource2 refrigerator water filter WF2CB
Water dispensing/ice making	Water inlet valve assembly	Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702
Door sealing	Door gasket	Refrigerator gasket 241786014

Tips for searching and ordering

• Search using FRS26H5ASBA to see the correct diagrams and part categories
• Match by part name and part ID (not just a photo)
• If you are fixing a symptom (no ice, no water, leaks), confirm the failure first before ordering
• For water and ice issues, replace the filter on schedule and purge air after filter changes

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents wrong-part returns and helps you fix issues faster, especially for water filters, inlet valves, and door gaskets where fit and connections must match.

Most Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerators are about 36 inches wide; your Frigidaire FRS26H5ASBA is in that common 36-inch class. For the exact cabinet width and door-swing clearance you need for installation, use the measurements and clearance guidance in the owner's manual.

What to measure (so it fits the opening)

Use a tape measure and capture these key dimensions before you move the refrigerator:

• Cabinet width (main box, not including handles)
• Overall width with doors and handles (often the tightest fit)
• Depth (cabinet only vs. with doors)
• Height (floor to top of cabinet)
• Door swing clearance (space needed to fully open both doors)

Installation clearances for FRS26H5ASBA

The manual specifies minimum clearances to help with airflow and hookups:

• Sides and top: 3/8 inch
• Back: 1 inch
• Beside a wall: leave at least 1/2 inch at the hinge side so the door can swing open

Quick clearance table

Location	Minimum clearance
Sides and top	3/8 in.
Back	1 in.
Hinge side near wall	1/2 in.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is “about 36 inches wide” can still bind in a tight cutout if handles, hinges, or door swing are not accounted for. Proper clearance also improves air circulation, which helps the compressor and evaporator system cool efficiently.

On a Frigidaire FRS26H5ASBA side-by-side refrigerator, “5Y” and “CE” are display codes that point to an electronic control or sensing issue that needs basic reset and power checks first. We use the troubleshooting steps in the FRS26H5ASBA owner's manual to narrow it down safely.

What to do first (safe checks that fix many code displays)

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Confirm the refrigerator is plugged into its own dedicated 115-volt, grounded outlet.
• Make sure neither temperature control is set to “0” (OFF) if your control dial has an OFF position.
• Verify the doors are fully closing and the interior lights are not staying on.
• If the code returns, note when it appears (after power loss, after dispensing water, after door openings).

What the code usually indicates

These codes are most often tied to the control system rather than a single mechanical part. Common categories include:

Category	What it affects	What we check next
Power interruption or unstable power	Control display and operation	Outlet, cord, breaker, reset
Control or wiring connection issue	Sensors, fans, defrost timing	Harness connections, corrosion
Control board problem	Multiple functions at once	Board diagnostics and replacement planning

If you’re already seeing water or ice issues at the same time, also inspect the water supply and valve operation; a failing valve can create secondary symptoms. For water flow problems, the refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702 is the correct valve assembly listed for this model.

Why it matters

When the control system is not operating normally, the refrigerator can run inefficiently and temperatures can drift. Quick reset and power checks protect food temperatures and help you avoid unnecessary parts replacement.

Freezer frost in your Frigidaire FRS26H5ASBA almost always happens when warm, humid air keeps getting into the freezer, or when airflow is restricted. Start by confirming the door closes fully, the gasket seals tightly, and freezer vents are not blocked so the circulating fan can move cold air properly (see the owner's manual).

Most common causes to check first

• Door not fully closing (food packages, bins, or shelves preventing closure)
• Door gasket not sealing (dirty, warped, torn, or not seated)
• Door opened frequently or left open too long
• Air vents blocked by food, reducing circulation
• High humidity conditions increasing frost buildup

Quick troubleshooting steps (10 to 20 minutes)

1. Inspect the door seal: Close the freezer door on a thin sheet of paper; you should feel steady resistance when pulling it out around the perimeter.
2. Clean the gasket and sealing surface: Use warm water with mild dish soap; dry completely.
3. Check for obstructions: Make sure shelves, the ice container, and food items are not pushing the door outward.
4. Clear the vents: Rearrange items so cold air vents are open (your manual notes not to block vents because a fan circulates air).
5. Stabilize temperatures: If you recently adjusted controls, allow about 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

When a part is likely involved

If the door is sealing and vents are clear but frost keeps returning quickly, a defrost system issue is a common next suspect.

Symptom	What it often points to	What to do next
Frost blanket on back freezer wall	Defrost system not clearing ice	Test/replace the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 if it is out of spec; also inspect the defrost heater and wiring
Frost mainly near the door edge	Air leak at gasket	Inspect/replace the correct door gasket (fresh food vs freezer door)
Frost after lots of door openings	Normal moisture load	Reduce door-open time; confirm temps are set correctly

Why it matters

Heavy frost blocks airflow, so the freezer can warm up, the refrigerator section can run too warm, and the compressor may run longer than normal. Fixing air leaks and airflow issues early helps protect food and improves efficiency.
