MODEL OVERVIEW
About this model: Frigidaire FRTE2246AV
FRTE2246AV is a garage-ready Frigidaire top-freezer refrigerator whose two-column LED control communicates six documented faults as flashing light pairs.
Confirm this top-freezer variant and its fitted equipment
FRTE2246AV is the fingerprint-resistant stainless-look member of Frigidaire's garage-ready top-freezer line. The title rounds its size to 22 cubic feet, while the linked family specification gives 21.6 cubic feet in total, divided into 15.4 cubic feet of fresh-food storage and a 6.2-cubic-foot upper freezer. Its cabinet is 29 11/16 inches wide. In the refrigerator, the specification lists two adjustable shelves, two crispers and a separate deli drawer; the freezer has one adjustable shelf. The door swing can be reversed. Check these physical details and the rating label when distinguishing this model from another top-freezer cabinet. The specification explicitly says that no ice maker is installed at the factory. It lists ice-maker readiness and the optional IMKT2026 kit, so an ice bin or ice-maker drawing in the shared owner guide is not proof that your individual refrigerator includes that accessory.
Resolve the two garage temperature statements before installation
Frigidaire markets FRTE2246AV as garage ready and says on the exact product page that it is designed for surroundings from 38°F to 110°F. The owner guide linked from that same page gives a different lower limit: its location caution says not to install the refrigerator where ambient temperature drops below 44°F, while retaining the 110°F upper limit. Those statements cannot both define the same safe lower boundary. Until Frigidaire clarifies the revision that applies to your unit, the 44°F warning is the more conservative installation limit; do not treat the marketing range as permission to ignore the manual. The same page asks for two inches of rear clearance and an unobstructed lower front for airflow. After positioning and leveling, the guide says to wait at least two hours before switching on power and then run the empty cabinet for 24 hours to cool. This sequence matters before judging food temperatures or a later sensor warning.
Read the TempZone buttons before interpreting blinking lights
The owner guide pictures two vertical indicator columns: A belongs to the Freezer button and B to the Fridge button on the fresh-food side. Each button moves through five temperature positions, toward Coldest and then back to the warmest choice. The guide explicitly notes that adjusting the refrigerator control changes temperatures in both compartments, so a changed setting is a whole-cabinet decision rather than a fault remedy for one side only. LED 1A is Cold Boost for the freezer; its temporary operation ends automatically after 40 hours. LED 1B is Chill Boost for fresh food and ends after six hours. These lit boost indicators are selected modes, not members of the flashing malfunction table. The page also says the fan circulates air between compartments and asks you to leave cold-air vents clear. Before recording a supposed code, determine whether the lights are steady because a temperature level or boost function was deliberately selected.
Match all six flashing pairs to the printed fault table
There is no two-character alphanumeric fault display on this panel. Page 10 numbers the LEDs from bottom to top and identifies each error by one flashing light on the left and one on the right. Left 1 with right 2 means refrigerator temperature sensor failure; left 2 with right 2 means freezer temperature sensor failure. Left 1 with right 3 points to the freezer defrost sensor, while left 1 with right 1 is a communication failure. Left 2 with right 1 identifies the ambient temperature sensor and left 3 with right 3 identifies freezer fan feedback. Record both positions and which side each belongs to: right 1 and right 3 are not interchangeable. The owner says the appliance may still operate despite these malfunctions, so a running compressor does not clear a recorded pair. Check the condition of stored food and seek authorized service for a persistent indication instead of assuming which part must be replaced.
Account for Sabbath mode and model-dependent illustrations
Sabbath mode changes what you can see and hear on FRTE2246AV. The guide says to hold the Freezer and Fridge buttons together for five seconds to enter or leave it. While active, sounds and alarms are off and even a fault does not show an error indication. The mode survives recovery from a power failure, so a dark control panel after an outage can have this documented explanation. Exit the mode with the same button combination before concluding that the indicator hardware has failed. For ordinary cooling checks, keep food clear of the air vents; the guide describes lifting a door bin and pulling it out, and drawing a crisper to its stop before lifting its front for removal. Those cleaning details help you inspect storage without treating every unusual sound or temperature shift as a code. Finally, the owner explicitly warns that pictured equipment varies by model: use the exact product specification to decide whether the optional ice maker is present.
