What HI°F (Perfect Temp Drawer) means

HI F on the Perfect Temp Drawer of an Electrolux refrigerator, such as the EI26SS55GS or EW26SS65GS, can appear after the first power-on or after a power outage. The drawer is still above its temperature while the compartments stabilize. It is usually a short wait, not a repair. The message tells you the drawer has not reached its setting yet.

Common causes of HI°F (Perfect Temp Drawer)

The drawer still warming or cooling after first start or an outage
A drawer setting that is not matched to the main compartments
A sensor or control reading that stays high

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the drawer control set to OFF until the temperatures stabilize. 2. Keep the refrigerator doors closed. 3. Check again later to see whether HI F has cleared. 4. If it stays after the unit is cold, call us.

! Why to stop there

If HI F stays long after the compartments are cold, the drawer sensor needs testing.
We check that the drawer is actually cooling.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

HI°F (Perfect Temp Drawer)HI°F (Perfect Temp Drawer) questions

Why did HI F show after the power came back?

The drawer needs time to settle after an outage or the first power-on. The compartments are still stabilizing, and the message often clears on its own as they cool.

Should I turn the drawer on right away?

Wait until the temperatures stabilize before you use it. Leaving its control set to OFF in the meantime, as the owner guide suggests, keeps the drawer from fighting the warm-up.

When should I worry about HI F?

If HI F stays on after the rest of the refrigerator is cold, the drawer should be checked. We would test its sensor and its connection, since the message should not last long.
