Frigidaire FGSC2335TFB side-by-side refrigerator Parts

A Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator like model FGSC2335TFB typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Keeping airflow clear, maintaining door seals, and staying on top of filter changes can help you reach the upper end of that range; see the maintenance guidance in the FGSC2335TFB use & care manual.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
• Door gasket condition (warm air leaks cause longer run times)
• Stable temperatures (avoid frequent warm-ups from door being left open)
• Water and air filter maintenance (helps dispenser and odor control systems run normally)
• Proper installation and leveling (helps doors seal correctly)

If you need compatible replacements for this model, use:

• Refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01
• Refrigerator air filter EAFCBF

• Compressor runs almost constantly but temperatures drift
• Repeated warm freezer or fresh food alarms
• Excess frost buildup or recurring defrost issues
• Water dispenser flow drops quickly after a new filter
• Unusual new noises beyond normal operating sounds

Once a refrigerator gets past the 10-year mark, small issues like weak door seals or dirty coils can snowball into higher energy use, warmer food temps, and more frequent repairs. Preventive maintenance is the easiest way to extend service life.

On the Frigidaire FGSC2335TFB, we reset the cooling system by using the control panel: if the unit is in Power Off mode, press and hold Set for 3 seconds to turn cooling back on. If cooling is on but performance is poor, use Default settings and press and hold Set for 3 seconds to restore factory settings (then allow time to stabilize). See the FGSC2335TFB use & care manual.

• Confirm the display is not showing power off or OFF.
• Press and hold Set for 3 seconds to toggle cooling on.
• If you need a full reset: scroll to default settings, then press and hold Set for 3 seconds.
• Set temperatures to the recommended starting point: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
• Wait 24 hours for temperatures to fully recover after a reset or major change.

A “reset” helps only if the refrigerator was accidentally put into an off mode or settings got changed. If FGSC2335TFB still will not cool, we focus on airflow, heat removal, and key cooling components.

• Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food packages.
• Verify both doors seal tightly; warm air leaks can mimic a cooling failure.
• Listen for the evaporator fan; if it is not running, cooling will be weak or uneven.
• Check for heavy frost on the freezer back panel (possible defrost issue).
• Confirm the room temperature is within normal operating range (extreme heat or cold affects cooling).

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these parts are commonly involved on this model:

Resetting the controls can quickly restore cooling if the refrigerator was put into Power Off mode or settings were changed. If the unit still will not cool after a proper reset and 24-hour recovery time, the issue is usually airflow, defrost, or a failed cooling component.

If your Frigidaire FGSC2335TFB side-by-side refrigerator freezer isn’t freezing, the most common causes are incorrect control settings, restricted airflow (dirty condenser coils or blocked vents), or a failed evaporator fan. Start by confirming the freezer is set near 0°F and that the cooling system is actually turned on per the FGSC2335TFB use & care manual.

• Confirm the freezer setpoint is 0°F (recommended) and the fresh food section is 37°F.
• Make sure the unit is not in Power Off mode (cooling disabled) and that the display is not locked.
• Check for a door ajar condition; warm air leaks can prevent freezing.
• Verify the toe grille is not blocked and the refrigerator has proper airflow clearance.
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; it should run when cooling is needed.

A freezer can run but not freeze if cold air can’t move through the evaporator area or circulate through the compartment.

• If you don’t hear or feel airflow in the freezer, inspect the evaporator fan area; a failed fan motor is a frequent cause.
• If the fan runs but airflow is weak, check for heavy frost buildup on the back freezer panel (possible defrost issue).

Relevant parts for this model:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 809069206 (drives airflow across the evaporator)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 242219302 (moves air; can crack or slip)

Dirty condenser coils make the sealed system work harder and can lead to poor freezing.

A freezer that can’t hold 0°F risks food spoilage and can also cause the refrigerator section to warm up because both compartments depend on stable cooling and airflow.

On the Frigidaire FGSC2335TFB side-by-side refrigerator, CF is commonly used as a communication fault indicator; it points to the control system not communicating correctly (often between the main control board and the user interface). Use the alarm and control information in the FGSC2335TFB use & care manual for safe reset steps.

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Acknowledge alarms: if a power fail or high temp alarm is active, reset/acknowledge it and recheck.
• Check door closure: confirm both doors fully close and the gaskets seal all the way around.
• Verify cooling: confirm the unit is actually cooling after restart (give it time to stabilize).
• Avoid repeated cycling: frequent power cycling can make diagnosis harder.

If CF returns after a reset, the issue is usually in the communication path: a loose connection, damaged wiring, or a failed electronic control component.

• Refrigerator power control board 5304521260: main electronic board that manages cooling functions and system communications.

A persistent CF code can interrupt normal operation of cooling, ice maker, or dispenser features. Correcting the underlying communication problem helps keep food at safe temperatures and prevents repeat faults.
