IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If happening frequently, it may be
an indication of low water pressure or the
water filter needs to be replaced. As the wa-
ter filter nears the end of its useful life and
becomes clogged with particles, less water is
delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it's been six months or longer
since last changing the water filter, replace
it with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
CAUTION
If the water supply to the refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water softener
can damage the ice maker.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
•
If refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off,
turn off the ice maker as described in the
previous section.
•
The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
•
If a large quantity of ice is needed at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
•
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained
below.
•
When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal
to have a small quantity of little pieces
along with the whole cubes.
•
To avoid splashing, dispense ice into the
container before adding liquids.
•
It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
USING THE DISPENSER
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting upward and
pulling straight out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in
dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker
on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
•
An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
bin to melt and refreeze together after
power is restored, jamming the dispenser
mechanism.
•
Ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice
cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Do you have a question about the FG4H2272UF and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Error message H-1 Freezer not freezing. Checked coils, very little dust, compressor **** working. Need to check thermostat
To troubleshoot the H-1 error message on the Frigidaire FG4H2272UF freezer, follow these steps:
1. Ensure Proper Airflow:
- Check that freezer vents are not blocked by items. Rearrange items to allow airflow.
- Clean the back air inlet slits and coils to ensure proper ventilation.
2. Inspect Diagnostic Modes:
- Enter the system diagnostic mode via the control panel. Focus on tests like the defrost heater or ice maker diagnostics (referred to as "FZ 72" in the context).
- Look for any error codes or issues during these tests.
3. Verify Compressor Operation:
- Use a temperature gun to check the compressor temperature. A high temperature (around 170°F) indicates a potential problem.
4. Check the Main Controller Board:
- If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, the main controller board may need to be inspected. Note that replacing the board might not always resolve the issue, as seen from prior attempts.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, contacting a qualified repair technician is recommended.
