Frigidaire FFHS2611PFBA refrigerator Parts

Most 25.6 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerators are about 36 inches wide; for your Frigidaire FFHS2611PFBA, plan on a 36-inch opening plus the installation clearances listed in the installation guide.

Capacity (25.6 cu. ft.) does not guarantee an exact cabinet width, but this size class is commonly built for a standard 36-inch space.

• Typical exterior width: about 36 in.
• Common “fits in” opening: 36 in. cabinet (verify exact spec for your kitchen)
• Add clearance for airflow and easier hookups
• Make sure doors can fully open for drawers and freezer baskets

Your installation instructions call out these clearances for easier installation and proper air circulation:

Also plan for door swing space; the manual notes the doors are designed to self-close within about a 20-degree opening, and the refrigerator should be positioned so both doors can fully open for best access. See the FFHS2611PFBA owner’s manual for door opening and leveling guidance.

If the opening is too tight, the refrigerator can run warmer (restricted airflow), doors may not open fully, and installation can be harder (water line, electrical, and leveling adjustments).

• Measure the cabinet opening width at the front and back
• Confirm you have room for 3/8 in. side clearance and 1 in. rear clearance
• Check door swing clearance (walls, islands, and adjacent cabinets)
• Verify the path into the kitchen (doorways and turns); the install guide notes you can remove doors if needed

The most common issue we see on the Frigidaire FFHS2611PFBA side-by-side refrigerator is a cooling problem caused by restricted airflow or heat removal, such as dirty condenser coils or a door that is not sealing tightly. Water and ice issues (filter seating, clogged filter, ice maker supply) are also very common; see the FFHS2611PFBA owner's manual for model-specific operating checks.

• Food not cold enough or freezer warming up: dirty condenser coils, airflow blocked by packages, or a weak evaporator fan
• Refrigerator runs a lot: door gasket leaking, condenser dirty, or frequent door openings
• Moisture inside the fresh food section: door slightly open or high humidity conditions
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker switched off, water supply issue, or filter not fully seated
• Water dispenser slow or stops: clogged water filter or air in the water line

1. Confirm doors close fully and seals contact the cabinet all the way around.
2. Clean the condenser area (dust buildup makes the compressor run longer).
3. Verify temperature settings for fresh food and freezer.
4. Make sure the water filter is fully seated and flush in the housing.
5. Check the ice maker is turned ON and the household water supply is connected with no leaks.

If you’re replacing the filter, the FFHS2611PFBA commonly uses the refrigerator water filter WF3CB. For step-by-step help, use how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator.

Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, dirty heat-exchange surfaces, or water flow restrictions. Fixing those basics first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps the refrigerator hold steady temperatures.

For the Frigidaire FFHS2611PFBA side-by-side refrigerator, the height is 68 3/8 inches to the top of the cabinet and 69 3/8 inches to the top of the hinge. Use the FFHS2611PFBA owner's manual to confirm which height spec matches your installation.

Use the measurement that matches what you are trying to clear (cabinets, trim, or a doorway).

• Cabinet height: 68 3/8 in. (top of case, no hinge)
• Overall height: 69 3/8 in. (to top of hinge)
• Allow extra clearance: for leveling, airflow, and uneven floors

If you are double-checking fit, measure with the refrigerator in its normal installed position.

• Measure from the floor to the top of the hinge (tallest point)
• Measure from the floor to the top of the cabinet (useful for moving with hinges removed)
• Make sure the unit is leveled before measuring
• Measure at the front and back if the floor slopes

Using the hinge height prevents surprises during installation. Proper leveling also helps the doors close correctly and keeps the door gaskets sealing, which supports steady temperatures and efficient operation.

On a Frigidaire FFHS2611PFBA side-by-side refrigerator, CF is a control-display message that shows up when the electronic control system is flagging an operating problem. We treat it as a “check function/control” alert and troubleshoot the control system and cooling performance together using the FFHS2611PFBA owner's manual.

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Confirm temperature settings: make sure the freezer and fresh food controls are set to normal temperatures (not turned down to an “off/0” position).
• Door seal and door closure: verify both doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
• Airflow: keep vents inside the compartments clear so cold air can circulate.
• Condenser area: make sure the grille and condenser area are not blocked by dust or items.

If temperatures are unstable along with CF, these model-matched parts are common checkpoints during diagnosis:

• Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (reports compartment temperature to the control)
• Refrigerator electronic control A01078804 (manages compressor and fan operation)
• Refrigerator evaporator motor 242077705 (moves cold air through the freezer and fresh food sections)

CF is important because it usually appears when the refrigerator is not seeing the feedback it expects. Addressing it quickly helps protect food temperatures and prevents the compressor and fans from running excessively.
