Frigidaire FRSS2623AW7 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For your Frigidaire FRSS2623AW7 side-by-side refrigerator, we troubleshoot by confirming temperature settings, restoring airflow, and checking the most common cooling and water/ice trouble spots (door seals, condenser coils, evaporator fan, and sensors). These steps solve most “not cooling” and “warm fridge” complaints.

Quick checks first (5 to 10 minutes)

• Confirm the unit has power and the interior lights come on.
• Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
• Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food packages.
• Close doors firmly; look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors that bounce back.
• Listen for the evaporator fan running when the doors are closed (a steady fan sound from the freezer area).

Cooling problems: what to check next

If the refrigerator is warm, these are the most common causes and what we do about them:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow issue or evaporator fan problem	Clear vents; inspect fan area for ice buildup; consider refrigerator evaporator fan motor 5304532557 if the fan is not running
Both sections warm	Dirty condenser coils or sealed-system/control issue	Clean coils; verify condenser fan (if equipped) runs; allow 24 hours after changes
Temps swing, food freezing then warming	Sensor (thermistor) drifting	Check for error codes; consider refrigerator temperature sensor 5303918775 if diagnostics point to a sensor fault

Clean the condenser coils

Dust-clogged coils make the compressor run longer and cooling performance drop. Unplug the refrigerator, vacuum the coil area, and restore airflow around the cabinet.

Water dispenser or ice maker issues (common add-on checks)

• Replace the water filter if flow is slow or taste/odor is off; use Frigidaire refrigerator water filter FPPWFU01.
• Purge air after filter changes by dispensing water for several minutes.
• Check the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• If cubes are small or hollow, verify freezer temperature is near 0°F.

Why it matters

A side-by-side refrigerator like the FRSS2623AW7 depends on steady airflow and accurate temperature sensing. Fixing airflow restrictions, dirty coils, or a failing fan/sensor prevents food spoilage, frost buildup, and compressor overwork.

If your Frigidaire FRSS2623AW7 side-by-side refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are a restricted water supply (valve not fully open, kinked line), a clogged water filter, or air trapped in the water line after a filter change. Start with the water supply and filter because they are the fastest fixes.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the household shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the water supply line behind the refrigerator for kinks, pinches, or crushing.
• If you have a saddle valve, replace it with a full-port shutoff valve (saddle valves commonly restrict flow).
• Replace the water filter if it is overdue or water flow at the dispenser is slow.
• Purge air from the dispenser line after any filter change.

Water filter and flow: what to do

A clogged filter can reduce water pressure enough that the ice maker will not fill properly.

• Replace the filter with the correct Frigidaire filter for this model: Frigidaire refrigerator water filter FPPWFU01.
• After installing the new filter, dispense water for several minutes (or until flow is steady) to clear air.

Common symptoms and what they point to

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best first step
No ice and weak water at dispenser	Clogged filter or restricted supply	Replace filter, check shutoff valve
No ice but dispenser water is strong	Ice maker or fill system issue	Check ice maker is on, then inspect for freezing/clogs
Small/hollow cubes	Low water fill	Replace filter, correct supply restriction

If water supply and filter are good

If you have strong dispenser flow and a new filter, focus on ice maker conditions:

• Make sure the ice maker is turned on.
• Verify the freezer is cold enough; most ice makers need the freezer near 0°F to cycle normally.
• Check for a frozen fill tube (often caused by low water flow or a seeping inlet valve).

Why it matters

Ice makers are very sensitive to water pressure and airflow. Fixing a restriction early helps prevent slow ice production, hollow cubes, and repeated freezing at the fill tube.

For a Frigidaire FRSS2623AW7 side-by-side refrigerator, the most reliable reset is a power reset: turn the unit off (or unplug it) for about 10 minutes, then restore power. This clears many control glitches after a power outage, temperature swing, or dispenser issue.

Reset options (what to try first)

• Power reset (best first step): Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in.
• Breaker reset: Switch the refrigerator circuit breaker OFF for 10 minutes, then ON.
• Control lock check: If the controls seem “dead,” make sure Control Lock is not enabled.
• Filter light reset (if the filter was changed): Use the filter reset option on the display (wording varies by control style).
• Error code follow-up: If an error returns after reset, troubleshoot the specific code.

Step-by-step: power reset

1. Move food to keep doors closed as much as possible.
2. Unplug the refrigerator (or turn OFF the breaker).
3. Wait 10 minutes.
4. Restore power.
5. Allow 24 hours for temperatures to fully stabilize.

What a reset will and won’t fix

Symptom	Reset may help	Usually needs more than a reset
Control panel glitch, lights acting odd	Yes	No
After power outage, cooling seems off	Yes	Sometimes
“Replace filter” light after filter change	Sometimes	If reset option not used
Warm fridge/freezer, no fan sound	Sometimes	Evaporator fan, defrost, sealed system

Why it matters

A reset reboots the main control and can clear temporary logic faults. If the problem comes back quickly, the refrigerator is usually reacting to a real condition (airflow restriction, sensor issue, defrost problem, or dispenser water supply issue).

Parts and guides that commonly relate to “reset” complaints

• If cooling is uneven or you suspect airflow problems, the evaporator fan system is a common check point; see how to fix your evaporator cooling fan.
• If you’re resetting because of temperature swings, a sensor (thermistor) can be involved; FRSS2623AW7 uses temperature sensors such as refrigerator temperature sensor 5303918775.
• If you’re resetting a filter reminder after replacing the filter, use how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator and confirm the correct cartridge such as Frigidaire refrigerator water filter FPPWFU01.
• If an error code appears, use Frigidaire refrigerator error codes to match the code to the next diagnostic step.
