FKFH21F7HWC Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

The electronic control did not defrost the coils. I had to use a screw driver to pry the unit off of the door. The instructions on line said use a putty knife or butter knife. I bent both trying to remove it. I suggest using a heavy duty screw driver. Once the unit was removed it was simple to put the new one back. It just snapped back in place. I also replaced the thermostat just in case. It's like buying $11.50 insurance. That required removing several screws and unsnapping the thermostat and unplugging the wires. Then putting the new thermostat back and plugging in the wires. Very easy to change the thermostat.

The sliding shelf side rail is held by three philips head screws that tighten into nut inserts. No amount of tightening would keep two of the three screws tight. I found that the nut inserts which are plastic and insert into the side of the freezer would pull loose, probably from years of overloading the sliding shelf basket. Ordered two nut inserts from PartSelect. 1. Remove three screws to remove shelf slide side rail. 2. Remove nut inserts to be replaced with needle nose pliers or reinsert screw a couple of turns and pull nut insert out with pliers. 3. Insert new nut inserts, position side rail, and tighten screws. Replace sliding shelf/basket.

Ordered freezer key friday afternoon received it saturday afternoon. Fast service

Removed three screws each side to remove old slides. Needed spacers under new slide so that drawer would stay on track. Cut old slide to make spacers and installed both slides in 15 mins.
