Frigidaire FPHT1897TF Questions and Answers


#1 When do I need to change my air filter?

In general, you should change the air filter every six months
(in most models, the filter status light on your display will
prompt you to replace the filter). Replacing the air filter will
ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors.
You may want to adjust this time period depending on the
types and amounts of food you typically store in your
refrigerator. To order replacement filters, simply go to our
Filter & Parts page. Remember to order the same filter type
that is currently in your refrigerator.

#2 How do I know which water filter I need for my refrigerator?

When it comes to your water filter, compatible isn’t
comparable. Frigidaire Genuine filters offer 3 levels of
carbon filtration that trap sediment, chemicals, and harmful
impurities. Frigidaire filters are NSF certified, the gold
standard in water filtration.

Compatible or look-alike filters aren’t guaranteed to offer
the same
water quality. It’s always important to use the same filter
type that
is currently in your refrigerator.

#3 How often should I change my water filter?

In general, you should change your water filter every six
months to ensure the highest possible water quality.
On most models, the Water Filter Status on your display will
illuminate and prompt you when it’s time to replace the
filter. If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of
time (during moving for example), it is recommended to
change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
To order replacement filters, simply go to our Filter & Parts
page. Remember to order the same filter type that is
currently in your refrigerator.

#4 What is the best setting for my crisper drawers?

Setting the humidity control on your crisper drawers is not
hard but we often forget what the best setting is based on
the food type. Here are some helpful tips:
1. Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the
humidity control set on HIGH, or in a drawer without a
humidity control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum
and maintains maximum moisture.
2. Non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skin should
be stored with the humidity control set on LOW. It’s best to
wash items and remove any excess water before placing in
the crisper drawers.
3. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should
be wrapped before storing.
4. If you have a refrigerator model with the Auto CrispSeal
Drawer, they are equipped with an auto humidity control on
the side of each crisper under the humidity control cover.
Good news – no settings needed!

#5 How can I avoid “freezing” in my crisper drawers?

If you are experiencing freezing in your crisper drawers, you
may want to keep in mind that air from the freezer moving
to the fresh food compartment through the damper could
result in freezing temperatures in the crisper drawers if the
unit has not be in use for an extended period of time.
Once the refrigerator is used more frequently, this issue
should resolve itself. If not, slightly increase the humidity
setting.
