FRS24XGCD1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

removed ice maker storage holder and then remove two philip screws and unplugged four pin connector. removed ice maker and installed new one . very easy to do

When I ordered the parts there was a video for each part. I saw all 3 videos which were most helpful. We had struggled with these drawers for years. Since our refrigerator was over 20 years old I was afraid that replacement parts would no longer be available. To my surprise they are still available. Now I wish I would have looked for the replacement parts sooner.
The only tools I used were a nut driver and a putty knife. Just like the video showed! A big THANKS for the videos!

Followed on line video. Also water supply tube on fridge was full of ice. You can pull it out and run hot water on it to clear.

The instructions that came with the replacement icemaker were very complete, in particular concerning the small levelling bracket on the bottom of the icemaker, because the old bracket needed to be removed from the old icemaker and transferred to the new one. This part of the installation might not have been obvious, so I was glad to see it clearly outlined in the instructions. The old icemaker was removed by loosening two nuts and detaching the electrical connector, and the new one was installed in its place. Fairly simple, the whole job took about 45 minutes because I work slowly and carefully. A more confident person could probably have the new one installed in 15 minutes. Only drawback: about three to four weeks after installing the new icemaker it has begun making a loud clicking noise on occasions. It is a repetitive (5 second interval) clicking, and only happens for about a minute every few hours and then stops. I am concerned that it might be gears prematurely wearing out and slipping. I guess I'll know in a few weeks if this one stops making ice.********************************************* Update: after about 9 months the new icemaker quit working and will need to be replaced. I removed the front cover from the icemaker and could clearly see that the teeth of one of the plastic gears were worn out and no longer meshing with the opposite gear. The drive gear was just spinning in place and making no contact with the larger gear.

Shut down Freezer/refrigerator. Disconnected water piping. Extracted old water valve. Replaced with new one. Turned on water and power.
Result, Ice cubes.

I used a small screwdriver to pry the tabs of the front glass panel loose, and then slid it upward and out of the broken storage drawer. Then I slid the panel into the front slots of the new drawer and pushed in an evenly downward manner until it snapped in place. It was an easy task and now we have a new drawer that slides smoothly.

Removed old pan and cleaned all surfaces and reinstalled new pan.

I watch the how to repair video on line and the repair went very quick and easy.It was just like the video,no hidden suprises.

We love our ice here. I seem to replace the ice makers one to two times a year. Generally the ice cycle gets off for some reason and it starts making loud popping/clicking noises (gear grinding). Its easy to replace. Simply loosen two screws holding the unit to inside of freezer and disconnecting the wiring harness. Unit slide up and out. Replacement is super easy (5 mins or less). Bam! Ice!

unplug power from ref removed old light socket only difference wired a little different checked new socket compaired to old checked terminal ends small big looked at wires big,little plugged up put in new light blub plugged ref power back on work power off pushed socket bac in power on works

Followed the instructions that came with replacement ice maker...was very clear and easy to follow and only took 5 minutes. I also watched the video sent via email with my order confirmation which was very well done and easy to follow. The only information that would have helped would have been a note to wait over-night for the ice maker to make ice as I thought I did something wrong when it wasn't making ice right away....waited until morning and had lots of ice. If I knew how straight forward and easy this was, I would have done it a lot sooner.

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry open the front of the socket as I pushed the socket toward the freezer side. I unplugged the two wires connected to the socket then re-connected the two wires to the new socket and popped the new socket back in. I then put a new light bulb in and we had light again in the fridge.

Unplugged fridge, opened the door, used flat head screwdriver to pop off old switch, unplugged wires, plugged in new switch, popped it back in, and plugged the fridge back in. 2 minute fix.

loosened 2 screws with 1/4 inch nut driver, disconnected electric connection lifted old ice maker out, replaced it with new one hooked up electric plug tightened 2 screws

Ordered ice maker, watch video of how to. It takes less than 5 min. Installes just like the video. Loosen 2 1/4" Screws, lift ice maker up, unplug old unit, Reverse. Just make sure water tube is lined up when you install new unit and wire is tucked up out of the way. Mine did not really start making ice till the next day.
