FFFH17F6QWA Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

I recommend completing steps 1-3 before purchasing your part, so as to avoid my mistakes.

1) Unplug the freezer and clear whatever is currently in the door. This fix is fast enough you don't need to empty the whole freezer.

2) Use a socket wrench to remove the two bolts holding the top hinge to the freezer. Once they're off, the hinge can pulled up and off.

3) Lift the door free from the bottom hinge. Important Note! Check that it's the door closing cam that's broken, and not, for example, the bearing that seats with the door cam that is listed on the freezer part of the schematic, and not the door part. If you're a smarty pants, you order(ed) the right part. If you're me, you continue with this tutorial but still need to order another part to complete the fix. Don't be like me.

4) Using your philips-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the remnants of the old door cam to the bottom of the door. Pull out the old cam and insert the new one. Rescrew.

5) Grab your extra person put of your toolbox and have them help you guide the door back onto the bottom hinge. The door is not heavy but no one wants to play blind Battleship while your freezer contents actively defrost.

6) Stick the top hinge back into place and reattach the bolts.

7) PLUG YOUR FREEZER BACK IN! And also check that the door works now.

Unplug freezer.
Open freezer and Remove the bottom 2 shelves and drawers.
Remove 6 screws (Phillips) securing the inside access panel located in the back of the unit.
Locate the defroster bar which is secured to the bottom of the condenser radiator. Trace the cable to the thermostat that is clipped into the condenser coil.
Unplug thermostat power cable located at the top left of the condenser coil, and the defroster bar cable on the upper right.
Release metal band that secures bar to the coil at the bottom where the coil and bar are secured.
Reverse for installation.

Removing the old one took longer than installing the new seal...its a one person job bit my son helped me..

Ordered New Temp. Read-out Panel, upon receipt, 1st. unplugged freezer from electrical power, 2nd. used door panel plastic removal tool to remove old panel from freezer. Installed new panel, plugged in freezer, op's checked new control panel. Checked out good. Put freezer back into service. JWH

Took off cover, unplugged wires, removed old motor, mounted new motor, remounted new motor and replaced cover.

Now need a new control board for same model.

No repair. The key fit!

Removed the top hinge, took the door off ,swapped out the new parts

It's easy to know how to use a key. I didn't have a difficult part, I didn't have the model # because I had lost my key and the model # is inside. I was able to find the energy saving paper that came with it but it had four model #'s. I called a couple places and no could me. I pulled up Part Select on line and just thought I would give them a try. I got a very nice person (Jeremy) He went thru every model that I had and three out of the four matched so he sent me a key and if it didn't work I could get my money back. I give him a A+ four taking that extra step, unlike the other places. Very satisfied!

Brought replacement key works just like original I thought it would be metal from reviews but it was plastic and still works perfectly

Oh yea thanx to partselect it went great didnt get fisrtkey but when got the second key it worked great thanx partselect

I had no problems. Screws arrived sooner than expected. It was a very simple installation. Very pleased with both the product and service.

take 1/4 hex screws out clean out dust ,remove old fan blade replace with new install bolts .

i only ordered 1, so i replaced each 1 then moved to the next. still no light, so it must be someting else. will try to check the wires with a volt meter to see if i have power next. something wierd happen, when i accidently touch the back of the led board, it lit up, small but still light up. hoping that means the led board is goo, must be in the wiring. i saw it had a main led board so will check the power to that.

The evaporator fan would make a very high-pitched whine/squealing noise usually after starting up after a defrost cycle, although, it would make the same noises during normal operation. After performing a thorough inspection of the fan blade and motor, I discovered that there was no interference to the rotating fan, and realized the motor must be failing. After removing the food and racks from the main body of the freezer, I had to remove 8 Philips-tipped screws that held the inside back panel cover on. I disconnected the fan motor from the main wiring harness, removed the fan mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head screws), and then removed the fan motor from the mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head bolts. I removed the fan blade and conducted a visual inspection, and found not blemishes of broken/damaged pieces. I mounted the new motor and used the existing fan blade, and replaced everything in the reverse order. I turned on the freezer and it has been operating perfectly since. I disassembled the old motor and discovered that the stator coils were worn, and the bearings allowed to much forward/aft motion.

inserted key and turned
