Frigidaire FRS26H5ASB9 refrigerator Parts

For your Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator, we read the model number exactly as it appears on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. On model FRS26H5ASB9, record every letter and number in order so you can match the correct parts and instructions in the FRS26H5ASB9 owner's manual and on Sears PartsDirect.

The Use & Care Manual notes the model and serial information is on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment.

Check these common spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the top interior liner (upper side wall area)
• On or near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Near the crisper drawer area on the interior wall
• Sometimes behind bins or shelves (remove items for a clear view)

Use this quick process to avoid ordering the wrong refrigerator water filter, door gasket, or control parts:

• Copy the model number character-for-character (example: FRS26H5ASB9)
• Keep letters and numbers in the same order; do not add spaces
• Include any suffix letters or numbers at the end
• Record the serial number too; it helps identify production details when needed
• Take a clear photo of the serial plate for reference

Frigidaire model numbers often look similar across a product family, but small differences can change fit and compatibility for items like a water filter, ice maker components, or door bins. Using the exact model number ensures the parts list and diagrams match your refrigerator.

A Frigidaire refrigerator like model FRS26H5ASB9 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With consistent care (cleaning, good door sealing, and stable temperatures), many units reach the upper end of that range and beyond; heavy use and poor airflow shorten life.

Most side-by-side refrigerators fall into a predictable range; the biggest difference is how hard the sealed system and fans have to work.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal service life for a full-size refrigerator
• Dirty condenser coils make the compressor run longer and wear faster
• Worn or leaking door gaskets force longer run times to hold temperature
• Frequent door openings and warm kitchens increase run time
• Ice maker use adds load and can increase run time (normal)

We recommend these habits because they directly reduce run time and temperature swings.

• Clean condenser coils regularly (more often with pets or dusty homes)
• Keep doors closing tightly; clean and inspect the gasket sealing surfaces
• Avoid blocking interior air vents with food containers
• Keep temperatures stable; allow 24 hours after control changes for temperatures to stabilize
• Replace the water filter on schedule if your unit is equipped with one (see how to replace the water filter in a Frigidaire refrigerator)

A refrigerator that runs longer than normal (often caused by a dirty condenser or a leaking gasket) wears the compressor and cooling system faster. The troubleshooting guidance in the FRS26H5ASB9 owner's manual also notes that longer run times are expected with frequent door openings and during normal defrost cycles.

If you need replacement parts for maintenance or repairs, order from the parts list for model FRS26H5ASB9 or search by model at Sears PartsDirect.

Frigidaire is typically considered a reliable, mainstream appliance brand rather than a luxury, high-end brand. For your Frigidaire FRS26H5ASB9 side-by-side refrigerator, that usually means practical features, widely available replacement parts, and straightforward serviceability; check the FRS26H5ASB9 owner's manual for the exact features and care guidance for your unit.

When shoppers say “high end,” they usually mean a combination of premium materials, advanced features, and higher price points.

• Premium finishes and heavier-duty hardware
• Advanced temperature management and specialty zones
• Quieter operation and higher-end interior lighting
• More customization (bins, shelves, storage systems)
• Higher purchase price and more “built-in” style options

Frigidaire generally sits in the value-to-midrange tier. Many owners choose Frigidaire because it balances cost, performance, and parts availability.

• Straightforward controls and common replacement parts
• Standard maintenance routines (cleaning, gasket care, coil cleaning)
• Common consumables like water filters and light bulbs

Your FRS26H5ASB9 may include storage features such as crisper humidity control, a deli drawer, or a meat keeper temperature control (features vary by configuration); the FRS26H5ASB9 owner's manual is the best reference for what your specific unit includes.

Knowing the brand tier helps set expectations for upgrades and repairs. For example, replacing routine items like a water filter is normal ownership maintenance; for this model, the Frigidaire puresource2 refrigerator water filter WF2CB is a common replacement part, and you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are matching additional parts.

The most common problem we see on Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerators like model FRS26H5ASB9 is a cooling complaint: the fresh-food section gets too warm or temperatures drift because airflow is restricted, the condenser is dirty, or the defrost system is not clearing frost. Use the FRS26H5ASB9 owner's manual to match symptoms to checks.

• Fresh-food warm while freezer seems OK: evaporator airflow restriction or frost buildup
• Runs too long: dirty condenser, frequent door openings, or a door not sealing
• Frost or moisture: door slightly open, humid conditions, or blocked vents
• Ice maker not making ice: freezer not cold enough, water supply off, or filter restriction
• New or odd sounds: evaporator fan airflow and defrost sizzling can be normal

• Set temps to about 37°F (refrigerator) and 0°F (freezer); wait 24 hours to stabilize
• Make sure doors fully close; food bins and containers should not interfere
• Clean the condenser area (dust buildup causes long run times and weak cooling)
• Keep interior vents clear; do not overcrowd shelves
• If water or ice is weak, replace the filter and purge air from the line

• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
• Refrigerator gasket 241786014
• Frigidaire puresource2 refrigerator water filter WF2CB

Cooling and ice issues usually trace back to airflow, heat removal at the condenser, or door sealing. Correcting those early protects food and reduces compressor run time.
