Frigidaire refrigerators are equipped with an electronic control panel to adjust various settings on the appliance, including the temperature in the refrigerator and the freezer. Pressing certain buttons in tandem causes the electronic circuitry to enter diagnostic mode, which enables you to check different appliance functions and troubleshoot for problems. No special tools are required to enter the diagnostic mode, which displays information on the front LED panel for easy viewing.
