A:AnswerHi, Gregf! Thanks for reaching out. In reviewing the installation guidelines for this model, we recommend not to install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 45°F (7°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator. You can find more information about this model under the “Interactive Tour and Documents” section listed on the page. -Derrick
A:AnswerHello there, Pete! Based on the actual Frigidaire manual for this model family, the confusion comes down to “model variation” vs. “standard inclusion.”
In the official use & care manual for the 18.3 cu. ft. top freezer models (e.g., FFTR1835 series), the feature list clearly states:
- “Features may vary according to model.”
- A “Deli Drawer” is shown with an asterisk or noted as “some models.”
Retailer Q&A sections (like Best Buy or Home Depot) often:
- Reference a different configuration of the same model line
- Or rely on generic product info that includes optional features
That’s why you’ll see listings saying “includes a deli drawer,” while your specific unit may not have one.
Bottom line
❌ The deli tray is not guaranteed to be included on every unit.
✔️ The manual confirms it is model-dependent (“some models”), not standard. - Maico
A:AnswerHello there! We completely understand that keeping every part of your home fresh is a priority, and we’re happy to help you navigate cleaning the drain pan on your FFTR1814WW. On this specific model, the drain pan is located at the bottom-rear of the unit near the compressor and is designed to stay fixed in place rather than sliding out like a drawer. To clean it safely, please start by unplugging the refrigerator and pulling it away from the wall to reach the lower rear access panel. Since the pan is bolted down, we recommend using a wet/dry vacuum to remove any standing water or debris, followed by wiping it down with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild detergent. — Reed
A:AnswerHi Lk. Thank you for your question regarding your Frigidaire refrigerator model FFTR1835VB.
To adjust the shelves, first remove any items from the shelf. Gently lift the front edge of the shelf upward and pull it forward until it clears the shelf supports. Once removed, you can place the shelf back into a different set of support slots at your desired height. After positioning it, make sure the shelf is fully seated and level on both sides before placing items back on it. This design allows you to easily customize the interior space to accommodate taller items or reorganize storage as needed. — Reed

A:AnswerWe’re sorry to hear your freezer isn’t cooling as expected. We understand how important it is to have reliable performance from your refrigerator. A few things you can check include ensuring the temperature settings are correct, that air vents inside the freezer aren’t blocked, and that the condenser coils are clean. If everything else seems to be running but the freezer still isn’t freezing, it may require service to inspect the defrost system, fan, or other internal components. - Jessica
