FRT24TGCB4 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Purchased a new ice maker assembly and installed. Very easy

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

I found that the fill solenoid for the ice maker was down to a drip when energized. I ordered from this site and replaced. now plenty of water, but the ice maker would just stall and jump teeth. The heater which heats the ice up to free it from the mold was defective. Ordered from this site, and now working great.this sitet has good pricing, and the help illustration is great, and explains the sequence of events. This made it easy to troubleshoot. This refrigerator has not give a problem in over 11 years. The problem is "the ice maker". I have replaced it 6 times.

It was very simple, used a nut driver to loosen the attachment nuts that held the ice maker in place. Disconnected the wiring harness. Removed the leveling tab from old ice maker and attached it to the new one. Then reassembled in the reverse order. As they say it was no brainer! The best part of the repair, was hearing the ice dump.

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.

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.

installed new ice maker. Was very esay - the only problem I had was the length of the wire, due to the need to use the adapter, was hard to menauver around so that it didn't contact the bottom of the ice maker. Would be best if it was configured so that you had the right wire connection and didn't have to use the adaptor.

The service man that I hired to fix my Ice maker removed the broken one. This is how I saw how easy it was to install. When the new one arrived all I had to do was plug it in then tighten 2 screws with the right size nut driver. This was the hardest part of the install havng the right tool for the job. Now I have Ice!

It was just a simple replacement, three nuts to loosen , a slight adjustment on the timer and reversal installation...As simple as replacing a light bulb! You needn't be a brain surgeon to do this job! Your installation video was very helpful....Thank you PartSelect Chuck McCann

Pulled unit away from wall and shut off water and unplugged unit. Installed water valve and reassembled, plugged back in and turned on water and checked for leaks. All good. However there is no water getting into the ice maker. The unit itself is going thru a cycle of attempting to make ice and the bail is moving and you can hear the solenoid activate but no water. I have tried to blow thru the tube going to the maker but it seems to be plugged by something. I do not know if there is another valve up there or how to clean it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Traced issue to defrost timer ( burned compressor & element contacts). This unit is mounted next to the temperature adjustment control in the refridgerator area - right in front. Removal of plastic cover provided easy access to the timer. Unit unscrews from the mounting then unplugs. Installation is reverse of removal.

I simply removed 4 screws holding the casing and then 2 more holding the timer. It was very easy. I then replaced the timer by unplugging and plugged the new one in. I replaced all the screws and the job was done. Less than 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the shipping time. When I ordered the part, I had it the next day.

I removed the retainer bar from the freezer door and unclipped the broken end cap (the clips were broken). I snapped the new one into place and snapped the retainer bar back into the freezer door.

Loosened 2 screws, lifted icemaker brackets off of loosened retaining screws, unplugged electrical connector from the icemaker.
plugged in the supplied jumper harness & connected to the new icemaker, hung it on the loosened screws, secured the 2 screws.
Dranke beer & listened to my new icemaker rock & roll.
No further problems, Frigie like new.
The price was the cheapest I could find. $78.00 total including shipping.
A little girl could replace this unit.

Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.
