How wide is a 25.6 cubic foot refrigerator?
Most 25.6 cubic foot side-by-side refrigerators are about 36 inches wide. For your Frigidaire FFHS2622MWNA, confirm the exact cabinet width and required installation clearances in the FFHS2622MWNA installation guide before measuring doorways or planning a built-in opening.
Typical width and what to plan for
A “25.6 cu. ft.” capacity class usually lands in a standard side-by-side footprint.
- Typical exterior width: about 36 in.
- Common width range: 35 3/4 to 36 1/4 in.
- Plan extra space for door swing, handles, and airflow
- Measure the narrowest point on your path in (doorways, turns, stair rails)
- If the unit will not fit, removing doors is a common solution (covered in the manual)
Installation clearance vs. refrigerator width
Even if the cabinet is about 36 inches wide, you still need clearance for air circulation and hookups. The FFHS2622MWNA installation guidance calls for:
| Location | Typical clearance to allow | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sides and top | 3/8 inch | Air circulation and easier positioning |
| Rear | 1 inch | Room for connections and airflow |
Why it matters
Width affects more than “will it fit.” It also impacts door opening space for drawers and freezer baskets, and proper clearances help the compressor cool efficiently and keep temperatures stable.
Quick measuring checklist
- Measure the opening width in at least 3 spots (top, middle, bottom)
- Measure depth and height too, including flooring transitions
- Confirm you have the recommended clearances from the FFHS2622MWNA installation guide
- If space is tight, plan for door removal and re-leveling after placement (steps are in the manual)

How to read a Frigidaire refrigerator model number?
On a Frigidaire refrigerator like model FFHS2622MWNA, the model number is read directly from the appliance data label (it is not something you decode from the controls). We typically find that label inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall near the front.
Where to find the model number label
Check these common spots first:
- Inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment on the left wall
- Inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment on the right wall
- Near the top front frame area when the refrigerator door is open
- On or near the crisper drawer housing area (still inside the fresh food section)
- If you cannot find it in the refrigerator section, check the freezer compartment side wall
For the exact label location and what the data plate looks like for your unit, use the FFHS2622MWNA owner's manual.
What the model number tells you (and why it matters)
The model number is the key identifier we use to match the correct Frigidaire parts and documentation. Even small differences in the model number can change which parts fit.
Examples of what it affects
- Correct refrigerator water filter style and fit
- Ice maker compatibility and wiring harness style
- Door gasket color and profile
- Control board and temperature sensor versions
- Shelves, bins, and drawer fitment
Quick checklist: confirm you have the full model number
Use this checklist before ordering parts:
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (letters and numbers)
- Include any suffix letters (for example, the “NA” in FFHS2622MWNA)
- Write down the serial number too (helpful for production changes)
- Take a clear photo of the label for reference
Common label fields
| Label field | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact refrigerator design |
| Serial number | Helps narrow down production run changes |
| Electrical ratings | Useful for troubleshooting power issues |
Why it matters
Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong part and helps you follow the correct installation and troubleshooting steps for your exact side-by-side refrigerator.

Is Frigidaire Gallery high end?
Frigidaire Gallery is not a luxury, high-end line; it is Frigidaire’s step-up, mid-range family that typically adds upgraded styling and features compared to basic Frigidaire models. For feature details that apply to your refrigerator, use the FFHS2622MWNA owner’s manual.
Where Gallery fits in the Frigidaire lineup
Frigidaire commonly groups products into tiers; Gallery sits above entry-level Frigidaire and below the brand’s more premium offerings.
- Entry level: Frigidaire (core models)
- Mid-range: Frigidaire Gallery (more features and finishes)
- Premium tier: Frigidaire Professional (more pro-style design and higher-end feature sets)
What “high end” usually means for refrigerators
When customers say “high end,” they usually mean a mix of price, materials, and performance features.
- More precise temperature control and faster recovery
- Quieter operation and better airflow management
- Higher-grade interior shelving and door hardware
- More advanced ice and water features
- More finish options and design upgrades
Quick comparison (typical expectations)
| Line | Market position | Typical focus | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frigidaire | Value | Essentials | Budget replacements, rentals |
| Frigidaire Gallery | Mid-range | Feature upgrades | Most households wanting more features |
| Frigidaire Professional | Premium | Pro-style features | Shoppers prioritizing premium design |
Why it matters
Knowing the tier helps set expectations for things like noise, ice maker performance, and filtration. For example, if you are maintaining your FFHS2622MWNA, staying on schedule with the refrigerator water filter WF3CB is one of the simplest ways to keep water taste and flow consistent.

What is the most common problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator?
The most common problem we see with Frigidaire refrigerators like model FFHS2622MWNA is a cooling complaint: the fresh food section gets warm while the freezer still seems OK. This is usually tied to airflow (evaporator fan or air damper), dirty condenser coils, or a defrost issue that causes frost and restricts airflow; see the FFHS2622MWNA owner's manual for model-specific checks.
Most common symptoms customers report
- Refrigerator section warm, freezer cold
- Frost or ice buildup in the freezer (airflow gets blocked)
- Refrigerator runs a lot (trying to hold temperature)
- Water or moisture inside the cabinet (often from doors not sealing fully)
- Ice maker or dispenser problems (slow ice, no ice, small cubes)
Quick checks that solve many “not cooling right” calls
Before replacing parts, we recommend these basics because they directly affect temperature stability and run time:
- Make sure doors close and seal fully; a leaking gasket makes the unit run longer
- Clean the condenser coils (dirty coils reduce cooling performance)
- Confirm temperature settings for fresh food and freezer are set correctly
- Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (points to a defrost problem)
- Verify the water filter is fully seated if you are troubleshooting ice and water issues
Common causes and the parts that are often involved
| Problem area | What happens | Parts commonly involved on FFHS2622MWNA |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow from freezer to refrigerator | Warm fridge, cold freezer | Refrigerator air damper control assembly 242303001 |
| Evaporator airflow | Poor cooling, uneven temps | Evaporator fan motor or fan blade (blade listed for this model) |
| Defrost system | Frost buildup, weak airflow | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 |
| Door sealing | Moisture, long run times | Door gasket (correct color/side matters) |
| Ice and water | No ice, slow dispense | Refrigerator water filter WF3CB, ice maker assembly |
Why it matters
On a side-by-side like FFHS2622MWNA, the freezer supplies most of the cold air for the refrigerator section. When airflow is restricted (frost buildup, fan issues, damper problems) the refrigerator warms up first, even though the freezer can still look “normal.”
