Frigidaire FRFS2823AS5 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

Yes. Frigidaire refrigerators, including the FRFS2823AS5, are a solid choice for most homes because they typically deliver dependable everyday cooling, practical features, and good value. Long-term satisfaction usually comes down to correct installation, clean airflow, and staying ahead of common wear items like filters and door gaskets.

A refrigerator is doing its job when it holds steady temperatures, seals tightly, and moves air correctly.

• Refrigerator section stays near 37°F
• Freezer stays near 0°F
• Doors close easily and seal all the way around
• Fans run smoothly without grinding or rattling
• Water and ice systems stay clean and leak-free

• Strong value for the features you get
• Straightforward controls and usable storage space
• Widely available replacement parts for normal wear
• Good performance when condenser airflow is kept clear

Many “brand” complaints are really maintenance or a single part starting to fail.

A refrigerator can seem “bad” when it is actually running longer to overcome restricted airflow, a weak door seal, or a clogged filter. Fixing those basics protects food, reduces temperature swings, and can prevent bigger repairs later.

• Use our step-by-step tips in how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator to keep water quality and flow consistent.
• If you see an error on the display, match it using Frigidaire refrigerator error codes before replacing parts.

Yes. For your Frigidaire refrigerator model FRFS2823AS5, looking up parts by the full model number is the most accurate way to match the correct replacement part to your exact door style, water system, and cooling components.

• Find the model tag inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall) or near the crisper area.
• Write the model number exactly as shown: FRFS2823AS5.
• Use the parts list and diagrams for that model to identify the exact part you need.
• Match by part name and part ID (not just a description like “filter” or “gasket”).
• Order directly from the parts list on this model page, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

These are examples of parts shown for FRFS2823AS5; model-number lookup helps ensure you get the correct fit.

Frigidaire refrigerators can use different versions of filters, gaskets, fans, and control boards that look similar but are not interchangeable. Using the exact model number (FRFS2823AS5) reduces returns and helps you fix issues like leaks, warm temperatures, and ice maker or dispenser problems faster.

• If you are replacing a filter, follow the steps in how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator.
• If your display shows an error, use Frigidaire refrigerator error codes to narrow down the likely failed part.

The most common Frigidaire refrigerator problem we see is a cooling complaint: the refrigerator section gets warm, the freezer may still feel cold, or temperatures swing. On the FRFS2823AS5, the usual causes are restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, a weak fan, or a door seal that is not sealing tightly.

• Fridge warm, freezer OK: evaporator airflow problem (fan not running, vents blocked, frost buildup)
• Both sections warm: condenser coils clogged, condenser fan issue, or sealed system/compressor problem
• Frost on back wall or heavy ice in freezer: defrost system issue (heater, sensor, or airflow restriction)
• Moisture, sweating, or ice around door edges: door gasket not sealing or door alignment issue
• Ice maker or water issues: filter restriction, air in the water line, or inlet valve supply problem

1. Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser coils and confirm the unit has good airflow at the toe-kick and rear.
4. Listen for fan operation (evaporator fan in freezer area; condenser fan near compressor).
5. Do the “paper test” on door seals: a sheet of paper should drag when you pull it out.

Cooling problems usually start as an airflow or sealing issue; fixing those early helps prevent food spoilage, reduces run time, and keeps the compressor from working harder than necessary.

Freezer frost in your Frigidaire FRFS2823AS5 happens when warm, humid air gets into the freezer or when airflow and defrost performance are reduced. The most common fixes are restoring a tight door seal, clearing the ice chute area, and keeping vents open.

• Confirm the freezer door closes completely and stays closed (no bins or packages interfering).
• Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or flattened sections.
• Clean the gasket and the cabinet sealing surface with warm, soapy water; dry fully.
• Check that interior air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Look for ice buildup around the dispenser chute area (if equipped) that can prevent a flap from sealing.

If the gasket is torn, hardened, or won’t seal after cleaning, replacement is the long-term fix. For FRFS2823AS5, use the model-matched refrigerator freezer door gasket 5304537408.

For step-by-step sealing tips, use our DIY guide how to fix a fridge door seal.

Frost buildup restricts airflow, forces longer run times, and can cause temperature swings that affect food quality and ice production. Fixing the air leak early prevents repeat frosting and reduces strain on the cooling system.

Yes. Side-by-side refrigerators are a good choice when you want easy access to both fresh food and frozen food at eye level, plus a narrower door swing than many French-door designs. For Frigidaire model FRFS2823AS5, the best fit depends on your kitchen clearance and how you store groceries.

Pros

• Easy reach to both compartments without bending much
• Narrower door swing can help in tighter walkways
• Strong day-to-day organization for smaller items and beverages

Cons

• Freezer section is usually narrower; bulky items fit poorly
• Tall items may require more shelf adjustments
• Worn door seals can cause frost, moisture, and temperature swings

• Keep doors sealing tightly; replace a torn gasket if you see gaps or persistent condensation
• Use common temperature targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer
• Don’t block air vents; airflow is what keeps temperatures even
• Replace the water filter on schedule if your unit uses one

• Water quality or slow dispensing: Frigidaire refrigerator water filter FPPWFU01
• Moisture or frost around the door edge: refrigerator freezer door gasket 5304537408
• Filter replacement basics: how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator

Most side-by-side “regrets” come from freezer-width limitations or maintenance issues (airflow, seals, filters). Matching the layout to your habits helps FRFS2823AS5 stay efficient and consistent.
