A:AnswerHi IAmMe, that’s a great question! The side cabinet is black in color. Please know the images of the doors and sides are provided by the retailer on their website. We appreciate you reaching out and hope that we were helpful! – Christy
A:AnswerHello Brian, this unit would need the installation of the garage kit in order to be used in an environment that gets colder than 50 degrees. This unit is compatible with garage kit (5303918301). -Kiara
A:AnswerHi there! Thank you for reaching out. The Frigidaire - 30 in. Wide 20 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Top-Freezer Refrigerator model FFTR2045VS features a freezer capacity of 5.4 cubic feet. We hope this answers your question. — Patrick
A:AnswerGood day, Letty! The Frigidaire 20 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Top-Freezer Refrigerator (White, FFTR2045VW / same design family): It has a mostly open back design, with partial covers only in specific areas, not a fully enclosed rear panel.
Important implication from the manual
Because the back is open:
- Keep clearance from the wall for ventilation
- Do not block airflow around compressor coils
- Keep the area clean (dust buildup can affect performance)
- Avoid contact with exposed components during cleaning
Bottom line
✔ Compressor area: open with partial shielding only
✔ Wiring: exposed but clipped along the rear frame
✔ Drip pan: open access underneath the compressor area
❌ No fully covered sealed back panel

A:AnswerHi James! Thank you for your interest in our product! Do not install the appliance where the temperature will drop below 38°F (3°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the appliance. -Chris
A:AnswerHi there! Thank you for reaching out. For your Frigidaire refrigerator, model #FFTR2045VS (ice maker LFTR2045VF), once the ice maker is installed and properly connected to the water line, it typically takes up to 24 hours for the first batch of ice to form. Full production and a completely filled ice bin may take up to 72 hours. Make sure the ice maker is turned on and the water supply is connected and flowing properly. - Reed
A:AnswerHi Jon! Thank you for reaching out. It is already Garage Ready, so it does not require a garage heater kit. The 5303918301 kit doesn’t fit because this model is designed to operate in cold environments without one. There is no compatible heater kit for this unit, as it’s already built for garage conditions. - Reed
A:AnswerNot common in my experience. Our last garage ref, also Frigidaire, lasted 35 years and still ran ok when we replaced it. Just the magnet seal on the doors was not holding anymore so the poor thing ran with a door open a crack all the time. And the motor still ran for a while like that.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us, Charlie. The depth dimension front to back without the doors for this model is approximately 28 1/4 inches. The depth with the doors is about 32 inches. - Maria
A:AnswerGood day, Phil! The Frigidaire FFTR2045VS 20 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Top Freezer Refrigerator comes with a standard 1-year limited warranty covering both parts and labor. This warranty applies to defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use.
The standard 1-year warranty applies to the entire unit, including the motor and compressor. - Maico
A:AnswerHi there, good day! The Frigidaire FFTR2045VS is a 20 cu. ft. top-freezer refrigerator designed for garage use, capable of operating in ambient temperatures ranging from 32°F to 110°F (0°C to 43°C). This model features a stainless steel finish, an EvenTemp cooling system for consistent temperature, and Energy Star certification for energy efficiency.
However, user experiences have been mixed. Some users have reported issues such as unusual noises, including gurgling sounds, and concerns about customer service responsiveness. For instance, one user mentioned that their refrigerator stopped cooling after 34 days, and despite contacting Frigidaire, the issue remained unresolved for an extended period.
If you're considering purchasing this model, it's advisable to check the warranty terms and ensure that you have access to reliable customer support in your area. Additionally, reading recent user reviews can provide more insight into the current performance and reliability of the FFTR2045VS. - Maico
