CALR17LW2 Crosley Freezer - Instructions

Loosened the screws all around the door. easier if you take the door off the unit and lay it on a table. Cover the table with a blanket to protect the door finish. Old gasket just pulls loose. Press the raised bead on the new gasket under the plastic strip. Corners were the most difficult. Retighten the the screws and rehang the door. It took some practice to get the bead under the plastic strip.

Took off 4 screws and replaced the handle. Took less than five minutes.

Notice ice build up on the panel in front of the evaporator coil. Unplugged freezer and removed evaporator panel. Plugged unit back in and checked fan, coil "snap switch" and heater element, all seemed to check out good. Found defrost timer stuck in the freeze position, causing frost to accumulate over the evaporator. Manually rotated defrost timer to the 30min defrost cycle and system went into defrost. Ordered defrost timer and installed (part arrived in 3 days). Freezer works great again. Too bad I ended up throwing 400 dollars worth of meat away. the fix was very simple. Will definitely use PartSelect again. Thank you.

Slipped off the top and bottom screw cover plates unscrewed the 4 retaining Phillips screws, removed the old handle and replaced it by reverse the procedure. The best part of the process was the amazing quick delivery and efficiency of Parts Select.

When i found out there was no thread in brace where bolts were supposed to screw in, I panicked. I thought I would have to send part back or go to a machine shop to make a thread. I called a friend for help and he told me the bolts would make the thread if I just screwed them in. Sure enough, the bolts made the thread and then I just proceeded to instal motor and put refrigerator back together. It was simple.

Replaced fan. I ordered the fan and received it the following.(-:

Removed upper and lower screw covers. Removed 4 screws , Removed broken handle. Installed new handle with th 4 screws provided. Replaced screw covers. Done!

I am replacing rhe electrical parts that were wet. The motor and freon piping are sealed and uneffected by the flood.

Removed decorative end caps on each end of the handle just by sliding them off. Unscrewed the broken handle and used the same screws to install the new handle. Replaced the decorative end caps by sliding back in place. Entire process took less than 2 minutes.

I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer. Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.
