FFU12M2AW0 Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

Removed all of the screws around the door and then removed the old gasket and fitted new gasket into place and replaced the screws

Removed old cold temperature control; tested with ohm meter and determined that the control was bad; ordered new cold control from PartSelect.com. Installed new cold temperature control with no problems; freezer is now running like new again!
p.s. I was very pleased with how fast I received my order from PartSelect.com!

Opened mailer and bag and place the drain plug into the drain. fit perfectly. In fact it is better than the one lost since the original needed a screwdriver or tool to remove the plug. This one has a flang or finger turner on it so that it can be removed. Also, does not interfere with items in bottom of freezer.

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).

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.

Put the new temperature control unit in plugged freezer back in and immediately turned on. Very simple repair. Saved a lot of money not having to purchase new or call a repair shop.

Needed to remove both left and right broken (plastic) supports and reinsert the new parts. Not hard at all...worked like a charm!

Loosened the screws all around the door, took out old gasket. Washed with bleach solution to remove mildew, wiped. Pushed new gasket into groove, tightened screws.

Took out top hinge bolts. Lifted door off. Set door on floor and removed all the screws holding gasket on. Replaced with new gasket after warming gasket with a hair dryer. Piece of cake, saved alot of money doing it myself! Thanx so much. David jones.

Removed 2 screws holding front bottom vent grille. . Through opening behind grille found broken part of switch hanging on wires. Removed wires from switch and fed them out through hole for mounting switch, connected wire and pushed into place. The greatest difficulty encountered was my 82 year old knees.

A 1,2,3 approach: 1, order the right part at the best price, Part Select has easy to navigate website and provides updated info on what will work in your appliance at a fraction of other site costs. 2. Configure the appliance to control the temp for a few days to save the food. This is accomplished by jumpering the two control wires to keep the compressor on and plugging the appliance cord into a timer with a 2hr on and 4hr off cycle. use the thermometer verify 0 degrees. 3. When the temp control is delivered unplug the power cord and proceed to repace the temp control, using care not to crimp the temp sensor bulb tubing. A #1 phillips screwdriver will release the control housing and temp sensor clamp assy. When complete set control to mid range and plug appliance into wall outlet. Use thermometer to set desired temp.

The installation was really simple, no problem. No instructions needed. What surprised me was, The new thermostat was installed in less then 24 hours after it was ordered. I live in FL
