Q: QuestionDoes the freezer pull a vacuum when the door is closed? I know that some freezers have only a magnetic door seal and that some better freezers have a vacuum seal and the door cannot be opened when the vac is being pulled. Thank you.

• A:Answer We purchased this freezer and when you first shut the door it's almost impossible to re-open it immediately, which would make me think that yes, it's creating quite a vacuum!

Q: QuestionWhat is the best temperature of operation? The Freezer has a 4 manufacture preset, but I am not sure if I should leave it at 4, or try higher. I am planning to storage deer meet, but not want to keep it unnecessarily higher, and pay more in electricity.

Asked 6 years ago by WorkingHusband.

• A:Answer I have had my new Freezer for a little over a month, Left at recommended setting of 4, moved my frozen food from my 14 year old 16 cu ft Frigidaire chest. I added about 10 lbs of freeze meat last week and it is slap full and it froze the fresh meat really fast. My ice cream that is stored in the door is perfect for scooping! I love my choice of sticking with Frigidaire!

Q: QuestionFreezer delivered today.The noise from the motor is fine but every time the freezer is opened and then closed again, it makes the LOUDEST whistling noise that can be heard throughout the whole house! Is ours defective or a bad model#? Reviews were great.

Asked 8 years ago by mbt4.

• A:Answer Hello mbt4! Since the freezer FFFH17F2QW only has one door, after closing the door, it creates a vacuum and draws in air through a small opening on the cabinet this is called the breather valve. The noise is not uncommon. We hope this information is helpful to you. –Thanks!-

Asked 6 years ago by jml.

• A:Answer Hi, jml! For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect operation. Unfortunately, the door is not reversible. ~ Brandi
