FFU20F9HW2 Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

Needed a Phillips head screwdriver to remove bottom plate (kick panel). UNPLUGGED FREEZER. Removed plate pulled switch out through the mounting hole and unhooked the two electric wires. Placed wires on new switch, pushed wires back through the hole and seated the switch. Plugged in the freezer and opened the door - magic, the light came on. Replaced the front kick panel (hardest part was to line up the plate holes with the holes in the mounting bracket).

Removed existing part, tested it, found it to be defective. OrderEd a new one and replaced the existing one.

I removed the screws and replace the broken slide with the new slide. Put the basket drawer back on the track and it now stays in place and can easily be used once again.

Followed the instructions

Removed shelves ,removed panel on interior back wall with Philips screwdriver ,unplugged wire terminals slid thermostat off coil ,then reversed process to complete installation.

After removing the key from its shipping package I pushed it into the freezer locking slot and turned it to lock and unlock the lid and then removed it. I had no problems with this fix. Of course, I am an older gentleman with a lot of experience in repairs around my house,as well as other houses. I am sure that a less experienced person may have more of problem with this type of "repair".

I ordered the handle , which was easy and resonable priced.
I used a cordless screw driver . And it was done in under 30 seconds . Quick repair

removed old broken part, 3 screws, then installed new part.....done

un plugged controller from compressor found controller burnt ohmed out compressor checked good ordered controller installed new controller plugged in freezer working ok now

Old handle was off already. Took the to screws from old handle, put the new one on screwed it on and that did it.

installed new handle

Freezer was not running, I reset circuit breaker and it immediately tripped. Noticed smoke coming from behind freezer. I pulled freezer away from the wall and visually checked the compressor and a black plastic box connected to the compressor (later found out the box is called a controller) I pulled the controller off the compressor and saw that it was burnt and melted. I ordered a controller from you, not knowing if that was the problem, but I took the $50.00 chance (cost of controller) I removed the old controller from the wires by sliding a small screwdriver along a slot in the plastic next to the wire and it released the wire, I did the same to the other wire and reconnected the wires to the new controller, observing what color went to what connector on the controller. Then I plugged the controller onto the compressor and reset the circuit breaker and plugged the freezer in bingo, it started right up and has been running now for over a week.

The timer in this older unit is clearly exposed at the back of the freezer underneath the freezer compartment. It is attached with two Phillips head screws. After the screws are removed, the timer can be unplugged and the new one plugged in. The new timer has an extra flange to allow it to be used on more than one model of freezer. In order to mount the timer in this unit, you have to remove the extra flange by carefully cutting it away from the timer body, in similar fashion to what's depicted in the online video. This will allow you to mount the new timer to the mounting plate using the two screws from the old timer.

It went exactly like your on line video. It took longer to defrost the freeze than it did to make the parts change out.

I removed the plate (recommend using a magnetic phillips head screw driver to remmove screws which are recessed). I removed the old part and pushed the new part through the hole and carefully reached in behindto attach the wires to the new part.
