Use this guide to check the the condenser of your Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator. This unit is located behind the rear cover on the back of your refrigerator.
The condenser releases heat from the compressed refrigerant coming from the compressor. This heat ultimately is heat removed from the interior of your fridge.
If the condenser gets dirty then airflow over it can't as easily remove heat. This leads to your refrigerator working harder, using more energy and heating up in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
This guide was created using a Frigidaire model FFSS2614QS6A side-by-side refrigerator. Other side-by-side units should be similar.
