I want to just keep cokes,water,beer etc. in my small upright frigidaire freezer. is there a way to just make it cold enough not to freez the drinks.

I believe the Frigidaire owner's manual will give you suggestions. I have a Frigidaire and I keep mine on 4. That is the middle point. Set it there then wait a day or two and make sure you have nothing freezing inside and items in your refrigerator are cold enough for you. It's your personal preference.

Thank you for your inquiry, friend!

Normally it is recommended to set your Frigidaire upright freezer to zero degrees. It is your option to make it cooler if you choose too. I hope this information has been helpful. -Matt

Hello
Check that it set cold because its not below -2 or -5 thats why dose not freeze anything it needs to be at least by -10 to -18

If it has a fan in the freezer it need to be running to circulate the cold air.
If the coils are not icing up evenly from top to bottom you have a system low on freon.
The light frosting is normal.
A model number would really help to troubleshoot the problem.

Check the freezer back wall for snow or frost.If it's there you have a defrost problem.

First culprit could be a refrigerant leak and needs to be charged. If the evaporator is frozen solid it won't push enough sub zero air to freeze. Call a trusted ac&or repair man

Fix freezer not freezing but still cold

Will it freeze water? The vent coming into the freezer may be blocked. Check that and see. Is the refrigerator keeping those items cool? You may also have a vent blocked by the fan cover (dusty). If all this is right, you may have a freon leak or worse a compressor or evaporator going bad.

We ahve a two year old Frrigidaire Freezer. every year same time it seems to correct itself(?), like self defrosting etc, and takes a long time come back to its cooling level. This is made in brazil G series. Please help.

look around the back of the freeze and at the bottom you will see a small black compressor .Put your hand on it and if it is running you will feel it vibrating. If it vibrating but running very hot them it means you have no gas in the system so the freezer won't freeze. If the compressor is cold and not running then it could be eaither the relay on the compressor or the board on the front either way you will need to get an engineer in
