Frigidaire FRS26R4CB0 refrigerator Parts

On the Frigidaire FRS26R4CB0, the most common issue we see is a cooling complaint: the refrigerator section runs warm, the unit runs too long, or temperatures swing because airflow is restricted (dirty condenser coils, door not sealing, or frost from a defrost problem). Use the FRS26R4CB0 owner's manual troubleshooting chart to narrow it down fast.

• Refrigerator warm, freezer OK: restricted airflow, dirty condenser, or a defrost-related frost buildup
• Runs too much/too long: doors opened often, condenser dirty, gasket leaking, or controls set too cold
• Frost or moisture between doors: door slightly open or gasket not sealing
• Ice maker not making ice: wire arm OFF, water supply valve closed, freezer not cold enough, or a clogged filter
• Water in bottom of crisper: normal moisture from produce, especially if items are put away wet

1. Confirm doors close fully and nothing blocks them.
2. Clean the condenser coils (a dirty condenser is a top cause of long run times).
3. Give temperature changes time to stabilize; many adjustments need about 24 hours to fully take effect.
4. If the ice maker is the complaint, verify the wire signal arm is down (ON) and the household water valve is open.
5. If water flow is slow or ice production drops, replace the water filter; this model uses the Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB.

Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root causes: warm air leaks, restricted airflow, or poor heat rejection at the condenser. Fixing those basics first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps the compressor run less.

On a Frigidaire FRS26R4CB0 refrigerator, CF is a fault code that points to a communication problem between the main control and the user interface (controls/display). It commonly involves a loose or damaged wire connection, or a failed control board.

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Confirm the unit is on a dedicated 115V outlet and the plug is fully seated (no extension cord).
• Check for a recent power outage or surge; that can trigger control communication faults.
• If the code returns immediately, inspect wiring connections to the display and main control (if accessible).
• If the refrigerator is not cooling, keep doors closed as much as possible to protect food.

The controls and main board have to “talk” to regulate compressor run time, defrost cycles, and temperature settings. When communication drops, the refrigerator can cool unpredictably or stop responding to temperature adjustments.

• Use the wiring and safety guidance in the FRS26R4CB0 owner's manual before accessing any internal components.
• If you are seeing other codes along with CF, check Frigidaire refrigerator error codes to narrow the failure.

To reset your Frigidaire FRS26R4CB0 side-by-side refrigerator, we recommend doing a power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the circuit breaker) for about 5 minutes, then restore power and allow 8 to 12 hours for temperatures to fully stabilize. See the owner's manual for control and operating details.

• Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet, or turn OFF the dedicated breaker.
• Wait about 5 minutes (this clears many control glitches).
• Restore power.
• Confirm the interior lights and fans come back on.
• Set temperature controls back to your normal settings.
• Give the unit time to recover; full cool-down typically takes 8 to 12 hours.

A reset helps when the refrigerator is acting “stuck” (controls not responding, dispenser acting odd, or after a power flicker). It will not correct a mechanical or airflow problem.

Resetting by removing power is the safest way to reboot the refrigerator’s controls without changing wiring or parts. It also helps you separate a temporary control issue from a true cooling, gasket, or defrost problem.

For your Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator model FRS26R4CB0, the model number is the exact identifier we use to match the correct parts and instructions. You’ll find it on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; record both the model and serial number for future reference using the FRS26R4CB0 owner's manual.

On this refrigerator, the serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food section). Once you locate it, write down both the model number and serial number.

• Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior walls
• Check near the crisper area or side wall where labels are commonly placed
• Look for a label that lists Model Number and Serial Number
• Copy the model number exactly as printed (letters and numbers)
• Keep it with your purchase date and service notes

Frigidaire model numbers are typically a structured code. For FRS26R4CB0, here is the practical way to read it for parts and service:

Small differences in a Frigidaire refrigerator series can change the correct water filter, door gasket, ice maker components, or temperature controls. Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong part and helps troubleshooting steps match your exact configuration.

• Water filter style and housing fit
• Door gasket size and profile
• Ice maker and dispenser components
• Temperature control and wiring harness variations
• Door bins and crisper drawer fitment

Once you confirm the model number from the serial plate, use it to select parts made for FRS26R4CB0. For example, this model uses a refrigerator water filter such as the Frigidaire puresource plus refrigerator water filter WFCB.

If your Frigidaire FRS26R4CB0 side-by-side freezer is not freezing, the most common causes are incorrect temperature control settings, blocked air vents that prevent the circulating fan from moving cold air, or warm air leaking in through a door seal. Start with control adjustments and airflow checks in the FRS26R4CB0 owner's manual.

• Set the freezer control slightly toward Colder, then wait 24 hours to judge the change.
• Make sure food packages are not blocking cold air vents; good circulation is required for proper freezing.
• Avoid overloading the freezer with warm food; it slows freezing and raises compartment temperature.
• Keep a gap between packages so cold air can circulate freely.
• Do not store hard-to-freeze items (like ice cream) on the freezer door; store them in the interior.

Your FRS26R4CB0 uses controls that regulate cooling; when the freezer is too warm, the fix is to move the freezer control slightly toward Colder.

If settings and airflow are correct but temperatures still climb, a failed temperature control or a leaking door gasket is a common next step.

• If the freezer temperature swings or will not hold a setpoint, the temperature control thermostat can be the issue; see refrigerator temperature control thermostat 240383703.
• If you see frost buildup, moisture between doors, or the door does not seal tightly, inspect the gasket for gaps, tears, or warping; common replacements include refrigerator gasket 241786014 (freezer door gasket) or refrigerator gasket 241786013 (refrigerator door gasket).

A side-by-side refrigerator depends on a fan circulating air between compartments; blocked vents, warm-air leaks, or incorrect control settings reduce airflow and raise freezer temperature, so food will not freeze solid.
