Defrost Timer
The old defrost timer started making a screeching noise (probably bearings going out). The replacement part was a cinch to install. When I initially spoke to a PartsSelect person, they said the part number I gave them was not consistent with my old '94 Tappan Freezer. They were able to still find the proper replacement part number. The video that was on-line helpful also.

Piece broken off of drawer slide
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.

Warm out door gasket.
Had to lossen around 60 screws to allow for the old gasket to be removed. Then I began the process of inserting the new gasket by fitting it into the gasket channel opened when I loosened the 60 screws. I inserted the gasket a little at a time making sure it was properly fitted then I tightened that part and then do the next part until I finished replacing the gasket.

Freezer not cooling due to icing up of coil.
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.

I knockedoff the door light sensor when I dropped a frozen jug of ice
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.

No problems
It went exactly like your on line video. It took longer to defrost the freeze than it did to make the parts change out.

Freezer stopped, tripped circuit breaker
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.

Cooling coils would ice up and fridge would warm up
I removed the shelves in the freezer, took out the five 1/4" screws and lifted off the cover. It was a simple matter of using a blow drier to remove all the ice, then unplugging the two wires and unclipping the thermostat from the upper cooling tube. Then clipped the new one on and reconnecting the two wires.
Works great!!!
Works great!!!
