How tall is the Frigidaire refrigerator?
The Frigidaire FFHS2622MS3 side-by-side refrigerator stands about 69 3/8 inches tall to the top of the cabinet; plan about 70 1/4 inches if you’re measuring to the top hinge cover. For the best fit, verify the measurement and required opening height in the FFHS2622MS3 installation guide.
Which height should you use?
Use the measurement that matches how you’re planning the space.
- Cabinet height is best for comparing to countertops and upper cabinets.
- Height to hinge cover is best for checking a tight overhead opening.
- If your floor is uneven, leveling can change the final installed height slightly.
- If you’re moving the unit through a doorway, remove doors if needed (covered in the documentation).
Quick height reference
| Measurement point | Height to plan for |
|---|---|
| Top of cabinet | 69 3/8 in. |
| Top hinge cover | 70 1/4 in. |
Fit tips that matter during installation
The installation instructions also call out clearances and leveling targets that affect real-world fit:
- Leave 3/8 inch at the sides and top for air circulation.
- Leave 1 inch at the rear for ventilation and hookups.
- Level the cabinet front to back so doors close and seal correctly.
- Make sure doors can open fully for drawer and basket access.
Why it matters
If the opening height is tight, using the wrong measurement (cabinet vs hinge cover) can prevent the refrigerator from sliding into place or can cause rubbing, poor door sealing, and temperature issues.

How to reset error code on frigidaire refrigerator?
To reset an error code on your Frigidaire FFHS2622MS3 side-by-side refrigerator, we start with a power reset (unplug or switch the breaker off) for 5 to 15 minutes, then restore power. If the code returns, the control is detecting an active problem that needs troubleshooting.
Quick reset steps (safe first)
- Unplug the refrigerator or turn the circuit breaker OFF.
- Wait 5 to 15 minutes (this lets the control board fully power down).
- Restore power and allow a few minutes for the display to stabilize.
- If the code is tied to a door or dispenser issue, confirm both doors close fully and seals touch the cabinet.
- If the code relates to water or ice, confirm the water supply is ON and the filter is fully seated.
For model-specific display behavior and alarms, follow the reset and operating guidance in the FFHS2622MS3 owner's manual.
If the code comes back: what to check next
Most recurring error codes mean a sensor, fan, defrost, or dispenser condition is still present. These checks fix the most common causes:
- Airflow: Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
- Door sealing: Inspect gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas not contacting the cabinet.
- Water supply: Verify the shut-off valve is open and connections are dry (no leaks).
- Filter seating: Confirm the water filter is installed fully and sits flush.
- Cooling fan noise or warm temps: Listen for the evaporator fan; a failed blade can reduce airflow.

Common “reset” actions vs what they actually do
| Action | What it does | When it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Power reset (5 to 15 minutes) | Reboots the control | Glitches after outage, temporary faults |
| Fix the underlying condition | Removes the trigger | Code returns after reset |
| Replace a failed part | Restores normal operation | Confirmed bad sensor, fan, gasket, etc. |
Parts that commonly relate to recurring codes
If troubleshooting points to a specific failure, these parts are commonly involved on side-by-side refrigerators:
- Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (temperature sensing and control)
- Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 (defrost temperature safety)
- Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (freezer airflow)
- Refrigerator water filter WF3CB (water flow and dispenser performance)
Why it matters
Clearing the code without fixing the cause can lead to warm temperatures, frost buildup, water leaks, or ice maker and dispenser problems. A reset is a good first step, but a repeating code is the refrigerator asking for attention.

What is the most common problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator?
For the Frigidaire FFHS2622MS3 side-by-side refrigerator, the most common customer-reported issue is a cooling problem (fresh food section too warm, freezer OK). In most cases, it traces back to restricted airflow, poor heat removal, or a door not sealing fully, which also leads to frost buildup and temperature swings.
Most common symptoms we see
- Refrigerator section warm but freezer still cold
- Frost buildup on the freezer back wall or around vents
- Fan noise changes, or little to no airflow from vents
- Ice maker or dispenser issues tied to water supply or a clogged filter
- Doors not closing easily or gaps in the gasket seal
Quick checks that fix many “not cooling right” complaints
Start with these basics before replacing parts:
- Make sure the toe grille is not blocked; airflow at the bottom front is essential for proper operation.
- Confirm the refrigerator is level and the doors align; poor leveling can prevent a full seal.
- Verify the unit is plugged in and house power is on.
- If connected to water, confirm the shut-off valve is open and check for leaks; recheck connections again in 24 hours.
- Ensure the water filter is fully seated and flush (some models).
Common causes and what they affect
| Common cause | What you notice | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty condenser area or blocked toe grille | Warm temps, longer run times | Clean and restore airflow |
| Door gasket not sealing | Frost, moisture, warm spots | Inspect and correct seal |
| Evaporator fan airflow problem | Freezer cold but fridge warm | Diagnose fan and airflow |
| Water filter restriction | Slow water, weak ice production | Replace filter |
Parts that often come up in these repairs
If troubleshooting points to a specific failure, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator water filter WF3CB (clogs can reduce water flow and affect ice production)
- Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 241786013 (poor seal can cause frost and cooling issues)
- Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (airflow problems can leave the fresh food section warm)
Why it matters
Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root causes: airflow, door sealing, and water supply setup. The installation checklist for FFHS2622MS3 specifically calls out door sealing, leveling, toe grille airflow, and proper water connection as key to normal operation.
For model-specific operating details and setup checks, use the FFHS2622MS3 installation guide and your FFHS2622MS3 owner's manual.
