Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB6 refrigerator Parts

A Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB6 side-by-side refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. Consistent maintenance (especially keeping the condenser clean, protecting airflow, and staying on top of water and ice system upkeep) is what most often determines whether it reaches the high end of that range.

Most full-size side-by-side refrigerators are built to run for well over a decade; the biggest lifespan drivers are heat management, door sealing, and defrost performance.

• Condenser cleanliness: a dirty condenser makes the unit run longer and hotter.
• Door gasket condition: leaks let warm air in, increasing run time and wear.
• Ice maker and dispenser use: frequent use adds load and can expose water-system issues.
• Ventilation around the cabinet: poor airflow traps heat and stresses the sealed system.
• Power stability: repeated outages or surges can shorten control and motor life.

For model-specific care and operating guidance, follow the maintenance and operating sections in the FRS23H5ASB6 owner's manual.

These steps are the most effective for extending service life on the FRS23H5ASB6.

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area regularly (more often with pets).
• Keep doors closed as much as possible; avoid long door openings.
• Clean the door gaskets and confirm they seal evenly all the way around.
• Replace the water filter on schedule; a restricted filter can reduce flow and strain the water system.
• If you notice slow water dispensing or ice issues, inspect the water supply and valve early.

If you need the correct filter for this model, use the Frigidaire puresource2 refrigerator water filter WF2CB.

A refrigerator that runs longer than normal uses more energy and puts extra heat stress on key components. Keeping the condenser clean and the doors sealing properly is the simplest way to protect cooling performance and maximize lifespan.

On the Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB6 side-by-side refrigerator, an H or HI code typically indicates a high-temperature alarm. It means the refrigerator or freezer temperature has been too warm for an extended period (often after a door is left open or not sealing).

• Make sure both doors are fully closed and not being held open by a bin or shelf.
• Check the door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas not touching the cabinet.
• Confirm the temperature controls are set to normal (mid-range) settings.
• Avoid loading a large amount of warm food at once; it can trigger a temporary high-temp condition.
• Verify vents inside the compartments are not blocked by packages.

After correcting the cause (door open, warm load, airflow blockage), give the refrigerator time to pull temperatures back down.

• Keep doors closed as much as possible for the next few hours.
• If you recently changed the filter or used the dispenser heavily, purge a few glasses of water to stabilize flow.
• If the alarm returns repeatedly, inspect the cooling system symptoms (fan noise, frost buildup, weak airflow).

A high-temp alarm helps protect food safety and prevents hidden thawing in the freezer. If temperatures stay elevated, ice production drops and the compressor may run longer than normal.

• If water flow is restricted or the filter light indicates replacement time, use the correct filter: Frigidaire puresource2 refrigerator water filter WF2CB.

For model-specific control and alarm details, follow the guidance in the FRS23H5ASB6 owner's manual.

Food freezes in the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on your Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB6 when the refrigerator control is set too cold, cold-air vents are blocked, or cold air is being pulled into the compartment by airflow or sealing issues. Start by warming the fresh food control slightly and giving it 24 hours to stabilize (per the owner's manual).

• Turn the fresh food (refrigerator) control slightly toward Cold (warmer), not Colder.
• Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize after each adjustment.
• Make sure packages are not blocking the cold-air vents; good circulation prevents cold spots.
• Move easily-frozen items (leafy greens, eggs, milk near the back wall) away from vents and the rear wall.
• Confirm doors close fully and nothing is holding them open.

Your model uses separate freezer and fresh food controls. If the fresh food control is set too cold, food in drawers can freeze.

A fan circulates air between compartments. If vents are blocked, cold air can concentrate in one area and freeze items.

If the door gasket leaks, the refrigerator can run longer to maintain temperature, which can create colder-than-expected zones.

Freezing damages produce texture and can crack containers. Correct airflow and proper control settings keep the fresh food section near a safe, consistent temperature without creating cold spots.

For your Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB6 side-by-side refrigerator, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look on the interior wall; record the full model number exactly as shown for parts and service.

On this model, the Use & Care information points you to the serial plate location inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door
• Look for a serial plate or rating label inside the compartment
• Check the side wall area (commonly left or right interior wall)
• Write down the full model number and serial number
• Keep it with your purchase date for future reference

When you copy the model number, accuracy matters more than decoding it.

• Copy every character in order (letters and numbers)
• Use uppercase letters (example: FRS23H5ASB6)
• Do not add spaces or dashes that are not printed on the label
• Double-check similar-looking characters (such as S vs 5, B vs 8)

We use the exact model number to match the correct diagrams and compatible replacement parts (water filter, ice maker parts, controls, and door components). A single wrong character can pull up the wrong parts list.

For a visual of the label location and what information to record, use the owner's manual.
