FFU17FG4AW2 Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

replace thermostat and timer after defrosting and cleaning out freezer. I took less than 10 minutes and now freezer has a defrost cycle that eliminates frost buildup on the coils.

Nothing to it. Remove the center insert. Under there are two phillip head screws. Remove those, place new handle in position, apply screws, and put on the insert. Your done !

backed out screws from old handle, install new hansel w/ same screws & screw cover. done

Fan was locked up.

Followed the sites instructions. Empty the bottom part of the freezer. Remove the screws. Move the panel out of the way. Easily remove the old part and replace with the new. Put the panel and screws back in place. The freezer works.

After researching other issues found on internet about same problem, decided to replace both thermostat and temperature control thermastat before going to the repairman way. I saw the videos given on this web site, ordered the parts and when they came in, unplugged freezer and started taking apart the back cover not sure what I would find. Turns out it was just that simple, unplugged the thermastat and unclipped it from the cooling fins, unplugged the temperature control switch and then plugged both units back in. The tricky part was coiling the temperature sensor ( not that tricky). I was done in about 45 minutes but that also included cleaning out and scrubbing the bottom and sides of freezer since I had everything out anyways. Started the freezer back up and took about 8 hours to freeze ice and other food at a setting of 4, where as before I had it set on 7 and was still not keeping the ice cream cold.

Replaced freezer defrost thermostat. Unit worked perfectly.

Our repair was very easy, just unscrew the old handle and replace it with the new one. The repair job took about two minutes and now the door is as good as new.

I ordered a new thermostat and installed it in less than 15 minutes. Looks like the problem is fixed. Now ,the freezer cycles on and off correctly. The part was ordered on a Monday and I got it the next day. I am very satisfied.

just like the video show sa 1,2,3 yeaaa thanks

This is an upright Frigidaire freezer. The defrost timer is at the bottom left side of the rear of the unit. One screw holds it in place and it only plugs in one way. When your freezer won't stay cold enough to freeze this is the first part to check. It is cheep to replace (20-30 dollars) and will usually fix the problem. It took about 5 minutes to replace the part and my freezer is up and running like new.

Took out three shelves. Removed 9 screws with a battery powered drill with a phillip screwdriver bit. Popped off the thermostat like I had seen on the video. Put the new thermostat on. Replaced the two wires one at a time. Reassembled the unit. This was so quick that my wife told me to let her know when I wanted to fix the freezer. She was shocked that I had completed the job. I'd been in the garage less than 10 minutes. It has been six weeks. and the freezer is working perfectly.

Repair was very easy. Just a scrwdriver needed to install. Glad I save my broken handle as the new one did not come with screws or face plate.

i order the defrost timer and the temperaturecontrol as was advised,it was very simple as reading the previous notes, pulled knob off, rerout temp metal probe, while the cover was off i clean it as much as i could and repainted the bottom with applince paint, looks good as new, very easy, whent to the defrost timer was so simple unscreewbracket, pull wire clip harness replace harness rescreew bracket, replug freezer it's good as new, saved a lot of money, i love this web site

We really didn t need to do a repair, we just ordered a freezer key that we didn t have. I must say the shipping was fast we received it the next day. It was worth the shipping charge. We will be ordering again. Great service.
