# Frigidaire Fb on a chest freezer: Freeze Boost is running

Fb on the display of a Frigidaire convertible chest freezer means Freeze Boost has been turned on with its button.

## What Fb actually means.

Fb on the display of a Frigidaire convertible chest freezer means Freeze Boost has been turned on with its button. The chest runs colder for a while to freeze newly added food quickly, and it works only in freezer mode. It is a setting, not a warning.

What to do when Fb shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

### Usually leads to No repair

Leave Fb on if you just added a large load of unfrozen food.

### Shows up as Freezer Running Too Cold

A freezer too cold reads far below its setting, ice cream turns rock hard, the door is hard to open, and frost forms fast around the seal.

### Make Frigidaire

Frigidaire freezers repaired wherever they stand, from the garage to the basement to the kitchen.

### Source Frigidaire Chest Freezer user manual A31283301, Freeze Boost

Frigidaire convertible chest freezers with Temp and Freeze Boost buttons; Freeze Boost works in freezer mode only. After a power outage the setting does not come back on by itself.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for Fb on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Leave Fb on if you just added a large load of unfrozen food.

02

Press the Freeze Boost button once to turn it off when you do not need it.

03

If the chest seems too cold or runs without stopping, check whether Fb is showing before anything else.

### Cleared?

The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

Fb is not an error and does not mean the chest has a problem. If the chest stays warm while Fb shows, the cooling system is not keeping up and that deserves a visit.

## What you may notice with it.

The freezer problems Fb tends to arrive with. Answer these at the freezer before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Fb.

### Can I clear Fb myself?

Leave Fb on if you just added a large load of unfrozen food.

### Why won't Fb come on when my Frigidaire chest is set to chill?

Freeze Boost is available in freezer mode only. Switch the chest back to freezer mode first; Frigidaire asks for an empty, dry cabinet before changing modes.

### Is it bad to leave Fb on all the time on my Frigidaire chest freezer?

It makes the chest run harder than it needs to and can freeze food colder than you want. Use it when loading fresh food and switch it off afterwards.

### After a power cut, Fb disappeared from my Frigidaire chest display. Is that normal?

Yes. Frigidaire says all settings except Freeze Boost come back when power returns, so turn it on again if you still need it.
