What are the dimensions of a 22 cubic foot refrigerator?
A 22 cubic foot refrigerator is typically about 66 to 71 inches tall, 32 to 36 inches wide, and 30 to 35 inches deep; exact size varies by style and brand. For your Frigidaire FFHS2622MB3 side-by-side, confirm the exact cabinet and door-swing measurements in the FFHS2622MB3 installation guide.
Typical size ranges (what you can expect)
Most 22 cu. ft. refrigerators fall into these common ranges:
- Height: 66 to 71 inches (to top of case or hinge cover)
- Width: 32 to 36 inches
- Depth: 30 to 35 inches (deeper with handles)
- Door swing clearance: varies; plan extra space so doors open fully
Quick reference table
| Measurement | Typical range for ~22 cu. ft. | What changes it most |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 66 to 71 in. | hinge cover, leveling legs/rollers |
| Width | 32 to 36 in. | side-by-side vs. bottom freezer |
| Depth | 30 to 35 in. | handles, door thickness, counter-depth design |
Installation clearances to plan for
Even after you know the cabinet dimensions, you still need space around the refrigerator for airflow and hookups. The FFHS2622MB3 installation guidance calls for:
- Sides and top clearance: 3/8 inch
- Rear clearance: 1 inch
- A level floor that supports a fully loaded refrigerator
- Room for doors to fully open so drawers and baskets can slide out
(These clearances affect the opening size you need, not the refrigerator’s measured width and depth.)
Why it matters
Getting the right dimensions prevents delivery problems, door-swing interference, and poor cooling from restricted airflow. It also helps you plan for the ice and water dispenser water line and electrical outlet placement.

How to read a Frigidaire refrigerator model number?
For a Frigidaire refrigerator like model FFHS2622MB3, we read the model number directly from the appliance ID label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; it’s typically on a side wall near the front. Use that exact model number to match the correct parts list, manual, and installation instructions.
Where to find the model number label
We most often see the model/serial label in one of these spots:
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left wall
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the right wall
- Near the top front edge of the liner (just inside the door opening)
- Occasionally behind a crisper drawer or near the bottom front wall
If you’re confirming the exact characters for FFHS2622MB3, compare what you see on the label to the formatting shown in the FFHS2622MB3 installation guide.
How to “read” the model number once you find it
For parts and troubleshooting, the most important thing is copying the model number exactly as printed (letters and numbers).
- Write it down exactly, including any suffix letters or numbers
- Use the full model number when ordering parts (not just “FFHS2622”)
- Keep the serial number too; it can help identify production variations
- If the label is worn, take a photo and zoom in to confirm each character
Quick example (what matters for parts matching)
| What you enter | Result |
|---|---|
| FFHS2622MB3 | Correct; matches the exact model |
| FFHS2622 | Too broad; can pull the wrong diagrams/parts |
| FFHS2622MB8 | Wrong suffix; can change compatible parts |
Why it matters
On side-by-side refrigerators, small model-number differences can affect key systems like the ice maker, water filter housing, door gasket fit, and electronic control board compatibility. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering the wrong part, such as the refrigerator water filter WF3CB.

Is Frigidaire Gallery high end?
Frigidaire Gallery is not a luxury, high-end line; it is a strong mid-range step up from basic Frigidaire models, with more features and styling. For your Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator model FFHS2622MB3, Gallery-level features typically focus on convenience, finish, and everyday performance rather than pro-grade build.
How Frigidaire lines typically compare
We see Frigidaire positioned in tiers like this (features and pricing vary by model):
| Line | Typical positioning | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Frigidaire (base) | Value/entry | Core cooling, simpler controls |
| Frigidaire Gallery | Mid-range | More convenience features, upgraded finishes, better organization |
| Frigidaire Professional | Premium (not luxury) | More pro-style design, higher-end feature sets |
What “high end” usually means for refrigerators
When customers say “high end,” they usually mean at least one of these:
- Pro-style build and design (heavier-duty handles, premium trim)
- Advanced temperature management (more sensors, tighter control)
- Quieter operation and higher perceived fit and finish
- More specialized features (ice options, filtration, flexible storage)
- Higher price tier compared to mainstream brands
For exact features and how your FFHS2622MB3 is equipped, use the feature list and operating details in the FFHS2622MB3 owner’s manual.
Why it matters when buying parts or troubleshooting
Knowing the product tier helps set expectations for repairs and maintenance. Mid-range refrigerators like Gallery models commonly use standard serviceable components (water filter, door gaskets, sensors, control boards), so parts support and DIY maintenance are typically straightforward.
If you are maintaining water quality and dispenser performance, the refrigerator water filter WF3CB is a common wear item on this model family.
Quick guidance for owners
- Keep door seals clean and sealing evenly; poor sealing causes temperature swings and frost.
- Replace the water filter on schedule to protect flow and taste.
- Level the cabinet so doors close and seal properly (the installation instructions call for a slight 1/4-inch tilt from front to back); see the FFHS2622MB3 installation guide.
- If you see an error code, use Frigidaire refrigerator error codes to narrow the cause.
Why it matters: Gallery is a “feature-forward mainstream” tier; you get meaningful upgrades without paying for true luxury branding.

What is the most common problem with a Frigidaire refrigerator?
The most common problem we see on Frigidaire refrigerators like model FFHS2622MB3 is a cooling complaint, often “freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm.” This is usually tied to airflow (evaporator fan), dirty condenser coils, or a defrost issue that lets frost build up and block airflow.
Most common symptoms customers report
- Fresh food section warm but freezer still freezing
- Frost or ice buildup on the freezer back wall
- Refrigerator runs a lot or seems louder than normal
- Ice maker or water dispenser performance issues (slow fill, no ice)
- Temperatures swing up and down
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Confirm airflow: Make sure vents inside the refrigerator and freezer are not blocked by food packages.
- Check door sealing: A poor seal lets warm, moist air in and can cause frost and temperature problems.
- Verify installation basics: The installation checklist calls out leveling, toe grille airflow, and rechecking for water leaks in 24 hours. Use the FFHS2622MB3 installation guide for the final-position and setup checks.
- Look for frost patterns: Heavy frost in the freezer often points to a defrost system problem.
- Review operating guidance: Settings and normal sounds are covered in the FFHS2622MB3 owner’s manual.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems
If your checks point to a specific failure, these model-matched parts are often involved:
| Symptom | Common cause | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fresh food, freezer OK | Weak/no airflow from freezer | Refrigerator evaporator motor 808602602 |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Defrost control issue | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 |
| Poor ice/water flow | Restricted filter | Refrigerator water filter WF3CB |
Why it matters
Cooling and frost issues usually get worse over time. Catching an airflow, defrost, or door-seal problem early helps protect food, reduces run time, and can prevent ice buildup that blocks vents and fans.
