How do I tell what Frigidaire model I have?
Your Frigidaire model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On the Frigidaire FRS6HR5JSB0 side-by-side refrigerator, the label is typically inside the fresh food compartment around the door opening or on an interior side wall; match that number exactly when ordering parts or using the owner's manual.
Check these common label locations first:
- Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
- Around the refrigerator door frame (near the gasket area)
- Behind the crisper drawers or on the ceiling of the fresh food section
- On the exterior back panel near the lower area (less common)
We recommend copying the model number exactly as shown on the label.
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Correct parts lookup and diagrams | Letters and numbers (often ends with digits) |
| Serial number | Production info and service history | Longer string, often includes date codes |
Small differences in a model number can change the correct door gasket, water filter, or ice maker parts.
- Use the full model number, not just the series name
- Include every letter and number in order
- If there’s a dash or suffix, include it
- Compare your label to the model shown on the parts list before checkout
The model number ties your refrigerator to the exact parts breakdown and specifications. That is especially important for fit-critical items like a refrigerator door gasket (white) 241786013 or a water filter such as the Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. Looking up parts by model number is the most accurate way to get compatible replacement parts for your Frigidaire FRS6HR5JSB0 side-by-side refrigerator because the parts list is filtered to the exact configuration (doors, dispenser, ice maker, and internal components) used on that model.
Use the complete model number exactly as shown on the refrigerator’s data tag, then match it to the parts list for that model.
- Use the full model number: FRS6HR5JSB0 (letters and numbers matter)
- Search by model first, then choose the part by name and diagram location
- Compare the part description to what you are replacing (for example, water filter vs. air filter)
- Confirm color and side (fresh food vs. freezer) for door parts like gaskets and bins
- Keep the manual handy for feature identification and control settings: FRS6HR5JSB0 owner's manual
For FRS6HR5JSB0, these are examples of model-matched parts you can select once you are on the correct parts list:
| What you need | Example part on this model | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Water tastes/odor, slow dispensing | Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB | Water and ice quality, flow rate |
| Frost buildup or warm temps | Defrost components (thermostat, heater circuit) | Defrost performance and airflow |
| Door not sealing, moisture on gasket | Door gasket options by color/side | Temperature stability, condensation |
| No ice or poor ice harvest | Ice maker components | Ice production and dispensing |
Model-number lookup prevents ordering a part that looks similar but mounts differently, uses a different connector, or fits the opposite door. That saves time and helps restore normal cooling, ice maker operation, and dispenser performance faster.
You can order replacement parts from the parts list for your FRS6HR5JSB0, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are shopping for additional appliances or models.

What is the most common problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator?
The most common problem we see on Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerators like model FRS6HR5JSB0 is a cooling complaint: temperatures run too warm because airflow is restricted (dirty condenser coils, door not sealing, or frost from a defrost issue). Water and ice dispensing problems are also very common; see the FRS6HR5JSB0 owner's manual for model-specific checks.
- Fresh food warm, freezer OK: weak airflow from the evaporator area, blocked vents, or frost buildup from a defrost problem
- Both sections warm: dirty condenser, poor ventilation around the cabinet, or doors opened too often
- Runs constantly: dirty condenser coils, door gasket leak, or controls set too cold
- Frost or moisture inside: door left ajar, gasket not sealing, or frequent door openings
- No ice or slow ice: water supply issue, filter restriction, or ice maker component problem
- Confirm doors close fully and nothing is holding them open.
- Clean the condenser area; a dirty condenser is a top cause of long run times and warm temps.
- Give temperature changes time; after adjusting controls, allow 24 hours to stabilize.
- If the door alarm beeps, close the door and reset the alarm (the manual notes a door-left-open condition after about 5 minutes).
- If water flow is weak, replace the filter and purge air from the dispenser.
| Problem area | What fails most often | Example part for FRS6HR5JSB0 |
|---|---|---|
| Water tastes bad or flow is slow | Clogged water filter | Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB |
| Ice maker not producing properly | Ice maker mold issues | Ice maker mold 241798231 |
| Warm temps, poor circulation | Fan blade damage/ice interference | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Defrost control components | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 |
Cooling and airflow problems make the compressor run longer, which raises energy use and can lead to food spoilage. Water and ice issues often start small (slow fill, small cubes) and become bigger problems if the filter and supply are not maintained.
We recommend ordering replacement parts for FRS6HR5JSB0 from the parts list for this model, or searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect to match the exact fit.

What is the average lifespan of a Frigidaire refrigerator?
Most Frigidaire refrigerators, including side-by-side models like FRS6HR5JSB0, typically last 10 to 15 years. With steady upkeep (cleaning condenser coils, keeping door gaskets sealing, and maintaining the ice and water system), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range.
A refrigerator’s life is mostly driven by how hard the sealed system and fans have to work to hold temperature.
- Heat and airflow: Dirty condenser coils make the compressor run longer.
- Door sealing: Worn or dirty gaskets leak warm air, increasing run time.
- Ice and water use: Heavy ice maker use can add run time.
- Defrost performance: Defrost issues can cause frost buildup and poor cooling.
- Power quality: Frequent outages or surges can stress components.
Use these habits to reduce compressor run time and prevent common failures.
- Vacuum or brush condenser coils regularly.
- Keep doors closing squarely; avoid overloading door bins and shelves.
- Clean gasket surfaces; replace gaskets that are cracked or no longer sealing.
- Replace the water filter on schedule and flush the dispenser after changes.
- Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer clear for proper airflow.
| What you’re addressing | Common symptom | Example part for FRS6HR5JSB0 |
|---|---|---|
| Water quality and flow | Slow water, bad taste, low ice output | Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB |
| Door sealing | Moisture, frost, warm temps, long run times | Refrigerator door gasket (white) 241786013 or Frigidaire refrigerator freezer door gasket, black 241786014 |
| Air movement | Warm refrigerator section, noisy fan | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 |
When a refrigerator runs “too much or too long,” internal temperatures can drift and parts wear faster. The troubleshooting guidance in the FRS6HR5JSB0 owner's manual also ties long run times to things like dirty condensers and gasket leaks, which are two of the most fixable lifespan killers.
