FRSS26L3AF5 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Called "local" repair warehouse and ordered part. They shipped the wrong part. Went on-line to Part Select and got the right part.

I was able to replace the housing by only removing the front cover, the e-ring and washer and the 3 hex-head screws. I was able to work the old housing around to get the actuator arm off and then get it properly inserted into the new housing. Attach the new housing, IMPORTANT: make sure you get the fixed-blades and spacer assembly in the slot of the housing that holds them in place, replace the e-ring and washer, check that the actuator arm operates the door properly and replace the front cover. The videos can be helpful but these shortcuts will save some time.

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.

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.

I BOUGHT 2 MORE SHELVES AND INSTALLED THEM.
THANK YOU

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!

This was the last step of serial repairs to the ice crusher portion of the ice maker. I have practically replaced the entire assembly. All the blades were installed incorrectly (at factory? Afterwards?) and had bent. That caused problems for other parts. I hadn't noticed that the housing was weakened and my prior repair I did something dumb and the door on housing wasn't closing properly, so it snapped. I bought a new housing and installed it. My #1 tip is WATCH THE VIDEO! There are some things that have to be put together just so. You need things to line up and be under slight tension from springs. Last time I had it under too much tension. The door got in the way of the blades and broke. So this time I was more careful to do it correctly. Everything is working perfectly now. This design is clever, and I feel like I can diagnose and fix it again in future. "Steve's" instructional videos are a huge help. He shows exactly what to do.

I followed the YTube video. The ice maker doesnot crush ice. The auger moves the ice to the dispenser. Is there a position for metal blades when assembling auger?

Followed instructions in video that was suggested when I placed the order.

i watched the video very simple repair

First I defrosted the entire unit, both sides for 24 hours. Restarted, I now have water dispensing. (It had apparently frozen) Next I took out the ice crushing part and took it apart, (a few screws) by removing the broken floppy piece; the small plastic floppy door that allows ice to crush, replaced this small piece, rather than replacing the entire big plastic piece that I ordered. Used a slot screw driver removed the old floppy piece that was broken and removed the same piece from the new one and switched them out. Reassembled the entire unit (a few screws), put the ice back in and it works great. I got the instructions for taking apart this from this site, however, it was fairly easy to figure out. Just be patient with the plastic parts.

Removed ice maker bin...removed screws and housing and reinstalled all...very easily completed.

I first ordered the wrong switch I called and got a return label and was refunded my money before even shipping the wrong switch I was helped for the right switch and it arrived in 5 days the replacement works perfectly very easy to install. Thank you

With shelf tilted put one side in and then straighten the shelf to put other side in and then snap in trim. Real easy and less than 5 minutes
