What does my Frigidaire model number tell me?
Your Frigidaire model number (for example, FFHS2622MSR) identifies the exact refrigerator design so we can match the correct parts, features, and documentation. It typically encodes the product type/series and the specific configuration or revision, which matters when ordering items like a water filter or ice maker.
Model numbers are mainly used for accurate parts lookup and service information. For a side-by-side refrigerator like FFHS2622MSR, the model number helps us match:
- The correct parts diagrams and replacement parts for your exact build
- The right filter style and replacement interval (many Frigidaire units use WF3CB)
- The correct control layout and feature set (ice and water dispenser, electronic controls)
- The correct installation requirements (water supply connection details)
- The correct troubleshooting steps and error code references
For model-specific details such as controls, features, and installation notes, use the FFHS2622MSR owner's manual.
A quick way to avoid ordering the wrong item is to separate these identifiers:
| Identifier | Example | What it’s used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | FFHS2622MSR | Identifies the refrigerator version for parts and manuals |
| Part ID | WF3CB | Identifies a specific replacement part listing |
| Part number | 242294501 | Manufacturer number for the same part |
If you are replacing a filter for this model, the matching part listing on this page is the refrigerator water filter WF3CB.
Even small model variations can change fit, wiring connectors, or mounting points. Using the full model number helps ensure the replacement part matches your refrigerator’s configuration, especially for items like:
- Ice maker assemblies
- Electronic control boards
- Door gaskets
- Temperature sensors (thermistors)

What is the most common problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator?
The most common issue we see on the Frigidaire FFHS2622MSR side-by-side refrigerator is a cooling complaint, such as the fresh food section getting warm while the freezer still seems cold. This usually traces back to airflow problems, dirty condenser coils, or a defrost issue that causes frost and restricts circulation.
- Refrigerator section warm, freezer temperature closer to normal
- Frost buildup on the freezer back wall or on evaporator cover
- Refrigerator runs a lot (or cycles frequently) trying to hold temperature
- Weak airflow from the refrigerator vents
- Ice maker or dispenser performance problems (slow ice, no ice, or dispensing issues)
- Confirm settings: Make sure fresh food and freezer temperatures are set correctly (the installation checklist calls this out as a final check). See the FFHS2622MSR owner's manual.
- Check door sealing: A dirty or poorly sealing gasket can make the unit run longer and struggle to maintain temps.
- Clean condenser coils: A dirty condenser is a common cause of poor cooling and long run times.
- Look for airflow blockage: Avoid overpacking; keep vents clear so cold air can move from freezer to refrigerator.
- Check for frost/ice buildup: Heavy frost often points to a defrost system problem.
If the quick checks do not help, these are common repair paths for this model family:
| Problem pattern | Likely system involved | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer cold, fridge warm; weak vent airflow | Airflow control or fan system | Refrigerator air damper control assembly 242303001 |
| Frost buildup; temps drift over time | Defrost system | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 |
| Ice maker not producing or inconsistent | Ice maker system | Refrigerator ice maker assembly 241798231 |
A side-by-side like the FFHS2622MSR cools the refrigerator section by moving cold air from the freezer. When airflow is restricted (frost, fan issues, damper problems, or blocked vents), the freezer can still feel cold while the refrigerator warms up, and the compressor may run longer than normal.
- Use the troubleshooting and “common problems” guidance in the FFHS2622MSR owner's manual to match symptoms to the most likely cause.

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 FFHS2622MSR, the exact cabinet width is listed in the product specifications section of the installation guide, and it is the best reference when you are measuring a doorway or planning clearances.
For a 25 to 26 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator, we typically see:
- Width: 35 7/8 to 36 1/4 inches
- Depth: often 32 to 35 inches (not including handles varies by model)
- Height: often 68 to 71 inches (hinges and leveling legs can affect this)
- Door swing clearance: you need extra space beyond cabinet width for full door opening
Use these steps before delivery or moving the unit:
- Measure the narrowest point on the path in (doorways, hall turns, stair rails).
- Compare that to the refrigerator cabinet width and also the depth.
- Plan for door removal if needed; the guide notes you can remove doors to fit tight entrances.
- Leave installation clearance for airflow: 3/8 inch at sides and top, and 1 inch at the rear.
- Make sure doors can fully open for drawer and basket access.
| What you are planning for | What to use | What to allow |
|---|---|---|
| Doorway fit | Cabinet width | Add a little margin for trim and uneven walls |
| Installation space | Clearance specs | 3/8 inch sides/top; 1 inch rear |
| Usability | Door swing | Enough room to fully open both doors |
Width alone is not the whole story. On a side-by-side like the FFHS2622MSR, door swing and required clearances affect whether drawers open smoothly and whether the doors seal properly after leveling.
If you are ordering parts while you plan the move (like a new Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 241786013 to improve sealing), you can find model-matched parts on this page or search by model at Sears PartsDirect.

What does EF stand for on a Frigidaire refrigerator?
On a Frigidaire refrigerator like model FFHS2622MSR, EF commonly points to an evaporator fan problem (often shown as SY EF or 5Y EF). It means the control is not seeing the expected evaporator fan operation, so airflow and cooling can be affected.
- Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
- Listen for the fan: With the doors closed, you should typically hear a steady fan sound from the freezer area.
- Airflow blockages: Make sure packages are not blocking freezer vents or the return air path.
- Door sealing: Check that both doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
- Frost buildup: Heavy frost on the freezer back panel often points to a defrost or airflow issue.
If EF returns after a reset, these are the most common causes on side-by-side refrigerators:
| Symptom you notice | Most likely issue | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Warm freezer or fresh food, weak airflow | Evaporator fan not running or restricted | Refrigerator evaporator motor 242077705 |
| Rattling or scraping noise from freezer | Fan blade hitting ice or damaged blade | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 |
| Intermittent cooling, odd temperature swings | Sensor or control issue | Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 or refrigerator electronic control board 242053503 |
The evaporator fan moves cold air through the freezer and into the fresh food section. When the fan circuit has a fault, temperatures can rise, food can spoil faster, and the refrigerator may run longer than normal.
- Use the owner's manual to confirm how your display reports error conditions and to review normal operating sounds.
- If you want a step-by-step diagnostic overview, use our Frigidaire refrigerator error codes guide to narrow down what the display is reporting.
We recommend matching parts by the full model number FFHS2622MSR and the symptom you see. You can order from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Is Frigidaire Gallery high end?
Frigidaire Gallery is not a luxury, high-end line; it is Frigidaire’s mid-range family with more features and styling than the base Frigidaire line. The model number FFHS2622MSR identifies a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator; the exact series branding for your unit is shown in the FFHS2622MSR owner’s manual.
Frigidaire families typically stack up like this:
- Frigidaire (base): core features, value-focused
- Frigidaire Gallery: upgraded convenience features and design details
- Frigidaire Professional: most premium Frigidaire-branded tier
| Line | Positioning | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Frigidaire | Entry to mid | Practical storage and basic controls |
| Frigidaire Gallery | Mid-range | More feature options and a more refined look |
| Frigidaire Professional | Premium | Higher-end styling and performance-focused features |
Use these checks on your FFHS2622MSR:
- Look for “Gallery” branding on the door badge or interior label
- Confirm the full model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment
- Match your control panel and feature list to the FFHS2622MSR owner’s manual
- Compare your installed parts to the model’s parts list (ice maker, controls, bins)
“High end” affects expectations for features, noise level, and parts. If you are troubleshooting ice or water issues, using the correct configuration helps you choose the right replacement part, such as the refrigerator water filter WF3CB or refrigerator ice maker assembly 241798231. You can order parts from the model’s parts list or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
