Fairly simple
By hand after removing the other shelves.
However, a day later it broke in the same way as the original one broke. It is plastic and not strong enough for supporting the vegetable drawer. This is the third one to not stand up to normal use. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

Freezer stopped defrosting and refrigerator stopped cooling. Fan in freezer cycling on and off constantly.
Went the typical route of part replacement since I don't own an ohm meter...pull and replace one part at a time. Started with the cheaper parts first, replaced the freezer fan for $40, same problem. Replaced the defrost heater element for $40, same problem. Replaced the thermostat $15 and controller board $150 at same time, bingo problem solved. Had to defrost with the hair dryer each time, biggest pain. Had an issue finding a Utube that showed the water filter system and thermistor removal for this model, otherwise straightforward, but not a 30 minute job.

Ice make does not fill with water
I replaced the water valve, but it still did not fix the problem.The old water valve I took out I'm assuming worked fine, I think the real problem is ice building up in pipe or some other blockage.
Parts select was very fast in shipping, very positive experience with them.
I will definitely purchase again from this site.

Water leaking from back of refrigerator
Followed instructions from others on the blog. Shut off water and electricity to the refrigerator. Removed the cardboard plate. Removed the old water valve. Cut the compression valves off and inserted the tubes into the new water valve. Attached the water valve bracket to the fridge. Tightened copper water supply.Turned on the water - no leaks. Plugged the fridge in. Tried the water and ice in the door. No leaks - everything worked perfectly. THANK YOU PARTS SELECT!

door bin cracked and broke
Of course, this was an easy install - carefully line up the slots on the door with the slots on the bin and slide the bin down completely to lock in place. However it is the same bin as on our old fridge, so I was expecting the door bins on our year old fridge to break as quickly as the old one - it did! So on these replacements, I reinforced the bin with duct tape all the way around and down the side edges (not at the slots, or it wouldn't have fit). This helped the replacements on the old fridge, so I am hoping it will help these to last longer. Not sure why I didn't do that with them when we first got it a year ago. But, here's hoping! This seems so wrong of the manufacturer to create 'disposable' parts for an appliance this expensive!

The door bin on my Refrigerator broke
I received two bins as ordered. I could not use one because it was broken. I sent an email back to Parts Select about the bin broken in the shipment. Heard nothing back.
I did not know that the door bins were different sizes for the top of the door & bottom 2 bins. So now I have one bin that fits, One that doesn't fit & a broken one that does not fit.
Moral of the story? Take my money & send me a broken part & that does not fit due to Frigidaire having two different sizes.
I have never owned a more noisy refrigerator in my life except the refrigerator a GE, that I replaced with this one. It got very noisy before it quit.

door didn't seal good
Pulling the old seal was the easy part. The problem became dificult when I opened the seal package. Either Part Select or UPS had folded the seal in half. Witch caused the wire inside the seal to become crimped up. I used a pair of pliers "carefully" to straighten the wire as best I could. Luckly it worked, after pressing it firmly all the way aroud about 5 or 6 times. I'll still keep an eye on it for the next couple of weeks.

Ice maker malfunctioned
We followed the video instructions and it went fairly smooth. After turning off the water at the street we found that the faucet at the wall had it's own "on/off" valve. When finished, we turned on the power and heard the gears going through their revolutions, but no ice was made. We waited 24 hours and still no ice. I removed the cover on the ice maker and adjusted the amount of water to see if that was malfunctioning. Still no ice was created. Waited another 24 hours - nothing. Waited another 24 hours (the site said that sometimes the ice maker would take time to reset itself) - nothing. Then on the fourth day after changing out the triple water valve we heard water being dispensed and later that day it put out the first ice in weeks. Another hour later another batch of ice cubes were ready and deposited into the bin. Since that time, we have had a full bin. I moved the set screw back to it's original setting because a little too much water was being delivered. The cubes weren't separating to individual cubes. That cleared up the problem. This was easily completed - we recommend others do their own work. Just be patient for the system to reset itself.

plastic crisper pan cover and supports broken
This is the second time I've had to replace the crisper cover, so I had that step mastered. As before, I took the glass from broken crisper cover and dropped it into new cover in seconds. Had to use a screwdriver to pry old crisper supports from the walls of the fridge. This was the only hassle. Popped new supports in, replaced crisper covers, and slid crisper drawers back into place. From now on, I'll have to be more careful about how much weight I put into crispers.
