initiate defrost in most Frigidaires by pressing ff light switch 5 times in 6 seconds. The light bulb must be working.

Appliantology is, however appliances are not, an exact science for I know there are a few refrigerators that actually hate me.

Good call tpoin! Wasn't sure if this model had that interface. I thought it may have so that's why I said "most" frigidaires. Couldn't remember which service manual to check since Frigidaire uses the dumbest method of labeling their manuals i've seen.

I didn't know if it applied to that model either. I was just trying to give him some options.

from the GLHS68EGSB2 tech sheets:
NOTE
This product comes equipped with an Electronic Defrost Control.
To initiate defrost, depress the fresh food light switch 5 times in 6 seconds (light bulb must be working).
To terminate defrost, depress the fresh food light switch 5 times in 6 seconds.
