• A:Answer Hi Dusty, The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. ~Corletta

Q: QuestionWhat type of coolant is being used?

Asked 2 weeks ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 15.5 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Freezer with Interior Light - Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel Look

• A:Answer Hi valued consumer, according to the official Frigidaire manual for this model (e.g., FFFU16F2VV / FFFU16F2VW), the unit uses a flammable refrigerant, but the manual itself does not explicitly name the exact chemical (e.g., R600a or R134a) in the user-facing “Use & Care” guide. The flammable refrigerant was used,” and includes multiple fire/explosion warnings related to it. - Modern Frigidaire freezers of this type almost always use R600a (isobutane), which is a flammable, energy-efficient refrigerant (this aligns with the manual’s warnings). - The exact refrigerant type is typically listed on the unit’s data plate (inside or on the back) rather than clearly spelled out in the consumer manual. - Maico

Q: QuestionWhy does it need a drip tray if its frost free?

Asked 2 weeks ago by Nancy.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 15.5 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Freezer with Interior Light - Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel Look

• A:Answer Good day, Nancy! This is a really common point of confusion: “frost-free” doesn’t mean “no water,” it just means the freezer handles frost automatically. Even in a frost-free Frigidaire upright freezer, the manual design includes an automatic defrost cycle: - The freezer periodically warms the evaporator coils slightly to melt frost - That melted frost turns into water - The water is drained out of the freezer compartment into a drip tray (drain pan) - It collects the melted frost (water) so it doesn’t leak inside or onto your floor - Then the water evaporates using heat from the compressor It needs a drip tray because the freezer still creates water during its automatic defrost cycle. The tray simply catches that melted frost and lets it evaporate, preventing leaks even in a frost-free model. - Maico

Q: QuestionWe purchased this product 3 1/2 years ago, and the compressor went out. Has this product OR is there another brand that would work longer?

Asked 3 weeks ago by Lenny.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 15.5 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Freezer with Interior Light - Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel Look

• A:Answer Hello Lenny, and thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that the compressor on your Frigidaire FFFU16F2VV stopped working after 3½ years, as this is not the level of performance we aim to provide. All appliance brands use similar sealed system designs, and no manufacturer can guarantee a specific lifespan. Factors such as installation environment, ventilation, and usage can influence overall durability. — Reed

Q: QuestionWould it be OK to install the freezer in the garage against an outside wall?

Asked 3 months ago by cvg.

• A:Answer Hi cvg! Thank you for reaching out. For the Frigidaire freezer model FFFU16F2VW, installing it in a garage or against an outside wall is not recommended if the area experiences extreme temperatures. The freezer is designed to operate within a range of 50°F to 110°F, and temperatures outside this range can affect its performance and compromise food safety. For optimal operation, it should be placed in a climate-controlled indoor space with proper ventilation and away from direct sunlight or heat sources. - Reed

Q: QuestionDoes the freezer have a three prong or two prong plug. We only have a two prong outlet in the garage and want to be sure this will fit.

Asked 5 months ago by Georgia.

• A:Answer Hi Sheila L! I couldn’t find a definitive statement in the published specs for the Frigidaire 15.5 cu ft Garage-Ready Upright Freezer (model FFFU16F2VW) that specifies whether it uses a two-prong or three-prong plug. The available information includes: - Voltage: 115 V. - Minimum circuit required: 15 amps. - It is marked as “Garage Ready”. Given standard US appliances at 115 V/15 A usually use a three-prong grounded plug (for safety/grounding), but that is not always guaranteed (especially older models or exports). Recommendation: To be sure, you should check the following: 1. Look at the actual product when delivered (or ask the retailer) to see if the cord has three wires/three prongs (which means grounded) vs two. 2. Check the installation manual (or spec sheet) for the “cord/plug type” clause. 3. If your garage outlet is only two-prong (ungrounded), then if the freezer uses a three-prong plug, you will either need to: - Upgrade the outlet to a grounded three-prong outlet (with proper wiring), or - Use a suitable adapter/grounding method approved by your local electrical code (though many codes discourage simple adapters for major appliances). - Maico

• A:Answer Depends upon your local health department regulations, but I guess that the answer would be NO, because the temperature controls will not show the interior temperature. Some local health jurisdictions get really particular about temperature compliance.
