Used the following video link to replace thermostat:

Since problem was frost build up on coils behind the ice maker I figured the problem had to be the thermostat or the heater coil. All diagnostic tests on ice maker worked fine. Ordered both...50-50 chance. Turned out to be the thermostat, but replace both. Working good now.

Removed the trough that catches the ice.. two philips screws to take the front cover off. Side and bottom. Than quarter inch to remove cover over wires. Unplug ones to ice maker. Slide out a little and down. May be a zip tie in the back cut with sheet rock knife. Reverse to install.

First: I could not watch any videos. Big downer. Read the reviews and read a post about “three screws”.
Opened the freezer and emptied everything in it.
Remove the bin.
Two screws are on the left side. They go into the side wall.
Here’s where things get weird. The plastic “box” holds the “ice making assembly”. That box is attached by FOUR slots. You will need to remove the wire rack below the frame. There’s a plastic spacer on the left side with a slot on it. You can pull it of with your fingers when you rotate it. Slide the rack to the left and pull down the rack from the RIGHT side holes. You have move the box toward you about a inch, then it drops down.
Now, there is a electrical connection from the box to the rear of the refrigerator wall. You need a small screwdriver to lift the tab on the TOP of the connector to release it. Once that is done, slide the box forward and put it in the sink.
While all this is happening, the freezer is thawing out.
Once you remove the box, you will get error codes on the digital display. This is a good thing.
There are two “square head’” screws that you have to remove to separate the TWO parts that make the box. Slide the outer trim towards you.
The icemaker assembly slides into four slots. You put the new wires in the same place as the one you removed.
Put everything back together the opposite of the removal.
Now for the secret.
All that food you removed? Put it back in until you can slide the box into place.
Then you plug the connector in. The box should be sitting on the food.
THIS IS THE SECRET.
The ice maker has two options. Cubed or Crushed.
There are two components that make them happen. On the left side there is a slot with a gray lever the moves up an down. There is an piece of aluminum on the right side the drives the screw in the box.
Rotate the screw drive to 45 degrees.
THIS IS THE SECRET.
On the left side of the box is a rod that is spring loaded and has a bent end.
It’s about “timing”.
Find a piece of “kite string”. I used the string from the yellow energy tag that came with the fridge.
The box is sitting on the frozen food. The wire in the back is connected.
Loop the string around the lever AND PULL UP.
Slide the whole thing into place using the slots.
When it’s in place, let go of the string.
Put the two screws back in.

FINAL.
You have to PRESS AND HOLD the IceMaker button to reset. You’ll get ice cubes in a couple of hours. Through the first 24 hrs away.
You’re welcom.

Did not repair, sensor was not located where you said, wrong sensor was sent to me, can't return oe exchange it COSTERMER SERVICE WILL NOT ANSWER MY EMAILS.

My repair plan is to continue buying parts for it until is starts working. I notices a large rusty stain on the back of the refrigerator, so I replaced the Ice Maker. Then, I replaced the Evaporator Motor. Yet nothing will come on.
I called Conn's Home Plus where I bought the Frigidaire Refigerator back in February 2014. The Tech said that It needs a Board-main Power (computer part). So I it ordered from PartSelect. It is due here by July 20, 2020. The Parts and Tech cost is now over Five Hundred ($500) dollars.
HELP!! I need INSTRUCTIONS, HELP!!!

Remove frozen food and ice cubes to coolers so they stay frozen.
Remove shallow wire shelf.
Slide out both sides of slide assemblies. Defective slide unclip the front corner front frame remembering to remove the plastic retention rivet first. It has a centre pin that needs to be pulled out first. Support the rest of the frame on the bottom shelf/basket frame
There is one cap head square driver screw to remove on the wall of the freezer holding the slide in place. Leave the other two flat head screws alone. Slide the defective frame off the other two flat head screws. Take new part and attachment is the reverse of the disassembly you have just done. The front frame corner clip is a bit difficult to put together there is a top and bottom spring clip then the plastic "rivet" where you need to push in the centre pin to retain it in the joint. [a bit flimsy so be careful].
The shallow basket should be carefully placed on the front and side clips, and make sure everything is square. Then slide the shelf to make sure it goes into the freezer properly. Then you can re-load the food and ice cubes.

I did not do a repair. You sent the wrong part & I didn't open the package but I can't get hold of anyone to return the part and get the correct part.

I am very upset that no one will help me. I paid $ 37.28 for the part I ordered and then the wrong part was sent

The sku # on the package is 242010901.This is a roller type part and I ordered a small wheel.
I can't even find a return address to send it to.. Please help me

The repair itself total time was quick and easy. Since the original fan blade blew apart, it was only a matter of putting the new one on in it's place. This can be done by feeding the blade between the cowling and Condenser coil and applying pressure to get it on the shaft.

If your fan is still on the shaft, simply push it off and extract it the same way. Then place the new one on the shaft.

In my case, since the part would take a couple days to get, and I had food both in the fridge and the freezer, I removed and unplugged the Condenser Fan Motor and the cowling frame and temporarily spliced a small fan I had into the line for the condenser motor. This kept the fridge working long enough to get the replacement part.

Side note. Direction of airflow is towards the Compressor, and draws air across the Condenser coils.

Hope this helps someone. :)

1. I took out one screw on the ice maker and loosened the other two screws and unplugged and removed the ice maker.
2. Next I took out 2 screws from the bottom of the auger drive box and unplugged the wiring harness and removed the box. The wiring harness was a little tricky. The lock on the plug pushes in to unlock even though it looks like it pulls out,.
3.next you must remove 2 screws from the left side bracket that holds the auger box and remove the bracket.
4.Now take out 8 screws that hold the back panel in place and remove the back panel.
5. now your looking at the evaporator fan blade and motor. The simple way to replace the fan blade is to unplug the motor and remove it from the freezer. It just sits in with nothing holding it. The fan requires a little pressure but should pull right off. Install new fan blade and put everything back in the same order it was removed.

first, there many different water filters. your experience will be different according to your water filter type.

Removed the previous water filter. Installed the new water filter.
I then filled a large glass full of water from the water dispenser several times to clear the air from the filter and lines.

Time to install, less than 8 minutes.

Thank you Parts Select!

Basically unhooked water lines and removed the screws

Located problem part of ice maker on web site. Picked the part that had the highest percentage of being the the part that was broken (58% I think). Removed the part, waited for the new part, then put it all back together. Simple. It works great. Thanks for having such an easy web site to diagnose the problem.
