What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Freezer alarm sounding. The buzzer means the inside has warmed past 20°F, so check that the freezer is level and the door closes and seals, and keep it shut while it recovers. Source: Frigidaire - What does the alarm or "buzzer sound" mean?
- Ice maker making too little ice. Frigidaire says a typical ice maker makes about 2 to 3 pounds a day, so check for a freezer set too warm, an old filter or a kinked supply line. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my ice maker is not making enough ice in my refrigerator?
