The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is a mid-range 36-inch standard-depth side-by-side refrigerator. It has an in-freezer ice maker, an in-door water and ice dispenser with an ice-crushing function, and a refrigerator cabinet with two crisper drawers and a trio of movable shelves. Its cooling system is fairly standard, with a single evaporator and an inverter-controlled compressor, along with Frigidaire's 'EvenTemp' system, which the brand claims will ensure consistent airflow throughout the fridge and freezer cabinets.
We've recently started testing refrigerators. We purchase each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of manufacturer influence. Each refrigerator undergoes the same tests to measure objective metrics such as temperature uniformity, produce preservation, and actual storage capacity, so you can easily compare results.

Our Verdict
The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is a decent choice for everyday use. Its fridge compartment is narrow but deep and tall, making it a solid option if you frequently buy taller items like fresh herbs or wine bottles. The freezer storage is unfortunately compromised by its built-in ice maker, though it's worth noting that temperatures inside that compartment are exceptionally consistent. Sadly, temperature uniformity inside the fridge is only passable, as the upper shelves and door bins are a little warmer than the lower section of the main cabinet, which is where you should store more temperature-sensitive items like milk or cream. Produce preservation performance isn't a massive strong point either, with somewhat low moisture retention inside the crisper drawers that can cause some delicate produce to wilt prematurely.
Fantastic temperature consistency within freezer cabinet.
Fridge and freezer cabinets are quite deep and tall.
Upper shelves and door bins are warmer than main cabinet.
In-freezer ice maker takes up a lot of room.
Crisper drawers don't retain much humidity, causing delicate produce to dry out and wilt.
The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS's produce preservation performance is mediocre. Its crisper drawers don't hold in a lot of humidity, and delicate produce like spinach or celery will lose moisture and begin wilting somewhat quickly. The same goes for the main cabinet, which is a dry environment in which delicate produce will lose its crunch even faster.

The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS boasts impressive overall capacity inside its fridge cabinet. As a side-by-side unit, the compartment is expectedly quite narrow, but it's deep enough to accommodate bulkier items like casserole dishes. It features a trio of movable shelves, providing flexibility to accommodate taller items, such as narrow-necked bottles. That said, it isn't ideal: there's no deli drawer, and the crisper drawers don't hold a lot.

The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is very good for storing large amounts of frozen food. While its in-freezer ice maker takes up a lot of room along the top half of the freezer cabinet, the lower section is fairly deep, allowing you to squeeze in bulky items like frozen dinners or family-sized packs of burgers or chicken filets.

The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS's temperature uniformity is something of a mixed bag. Temperatures inside the freezer are exceptionally consistent, so temperature-sensitive foodstuffs like ice cream won't become soft if stored on one shelf and frozen to a brick-like consistency if left on another. The fridge's inverter-controlled compressor also helps minimize temperature fluctuations inside this cabinet during normal operating conditions. However, the picture is much less rosy in the fridge compartment. Despite the presence of the brand's 'EvenTemp' cooling system, which should evenly distribute cool air throughout the cabinet, the refrigerator's upper shelves and door bins tend to be a few degrees higher than the rest of the cabinet.

The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is a great option for making ice for a crowd. Its ice production rate isn't earth-shattering by any means: it can put out a little over three pounds of ice in a 24-hour window, which should be enough for a small family dinner, but not much beyond that. That said, its ice bucket can hold over eight pounds of cubed ice, which should be enough to keep quite a few drinks cool at a moderately sized barbecue or house party before you need to head out and buy a bag of ice.

Popular Refrigerator Comparisons
The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is a mid-range 36-inch side-by-side refrigerator. It isn't much of a standout in any one category, aside from its relatively high-capacity ice bucket. Alternatives like the Samsung RS27T5200SR offer more interior volume in both their fridge and freezer cabinets, all the while occupying the same footprint. It doesn't do a great job of maintaining a consistent temperature level within its fridge cabinet when compared to the Whirlpool WRS588FIHZ, either, though the Frigidaire does at least deliver great freezer temperature consistency.
