FRSS2623AS5 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.

I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.

When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

Removed shelves above the problem area. Tilted new shelf up to slide prongs into openings on one side, pushed in far enough to allow prongs on the other side to fit into their openings. Evened the shelf out then added some thick tape to both sides of the shelf to keep it from falling out.

Original unit had screw on lugs. After removing old unit, I unscrewed the lugs, cut the lines to remove the nuts and inserted them into the new unit. Everything was color coded so connection was simple. Reinstalled unit, cycled the ice maker several times only to discover the fill tube at in the freezer had frozen ice blocking the tray from getting water. Used a hair dryer to thaw out the tube, water flowed instantly. Very easy repair.

DID IT JUST LIKE THE VIDEO SHOWED. UNHOOKED ELECTRICS, CUT TUBING, HOOKED UP ELECTRICS THEN TUBES TO NEW PART. PIECE OF CAKE.

I watched the video and followed every step as outlined. It worked perfect, until I reconnected the supply line to my triple water valve. I used the old compression fitting and the compression nut. I should have cut the line and installed a new fitting and nut. The water on the floor the next morning reminded me of that. So back out I went and replaced the compression fitting and it has been as good as new. The ice maker took a few cycles to work again, I think it needed to fill the line with water first. But I have a huge sense of pride every time I hear water dispenced or ice dump in the freezer. Thanks for the help and encouragement!

Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

Watched the video on your website and you can’t go wrong.
Thanks for being there

I looked at the internet before I purchased a new seal and saw how to repair it. It was a matter of pulling out the old seal and just popping in the new. The internet said to use a hair dryer to melt the rubber to adhere to the fridge in places where it wasn't. It was quick!

very easy, make sure to watch the provided you tube video.

carefully removed retainer from old valve

The part was easy to install and solved the problem! We had ice within hours. Thanks PartSelect!

The gaskets aren’t really attached, they are just wedged into a small notch the goes around the entire door. So you can just pull the old one off with no tool. The new one arrived looking very bent and twisted but if you heat it with a hair dryer it goes back to its shape. When installing…You start in the corner and work your way around with a butter knife and hair dryer and it eventually sits into the notch. We watched a video on YouTube, it was easy to find a video and easy to do with two people and no tools or experience. Takes a few days for the gasket to feel fully settled into the notch

The repair was quick and easy. Just install the ordered bracket ( hinge ) on the top refrigerator door and cover. I had all the screws and cover but somehow the original bracket was missing...hummm

The u tube instructions were exactly what is needed. I had to cut off the old plastic pipes. My pipe had threaded connectors. Pex push on connection is super easy. You don't really need a block of wood to cut it if you have a sharp utility blade. If if you are sure this is the problem this is a really easy fix. Steps 1 turn off water at wall unplug electric also 2. Disc line at valve on refrigerator 3. Remove 2 screws holding valve 4. Pull valve out and remove plastic hoses and electric connections pay attention to color of pipe and electric connection. Mine were color coded. Had to cut off thread connectors. Reattach in reverse order or do one at a time. Check for leaks.

Undo a few bolts unplug power and unhook water lines then recut all lines and push in to new value
