MRS20HRAD8 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

1st. replaced the defrost thermostat pn 5303918214 did not fix it next replaced the defrost timmer pn 215846602 that did not fix it,next replaced the defrost heater pn 5303918247 still did not fix it,has the same problem as when I started I don't know what to do next guess will call for a service tech to come out,or get a new refridgerator. Looks like I wasted my money on these parts. Refridgerators are not as easy to fix as yall make them out to be. I have to say all the parts were easy to install and your instructions and videos were great, they just did not fix my refrigerator Thanks Tom

Make sure the drawer is very clean and there is no residue at the base of the drawer. If needed put very hot water in the drawer to disolve any gunk. Then pry the lip on the reverse side of the drawer with a screw driver. then the front will slide up and come off easily. If the drawer has any gunk in it, the front will not come off.

Remove door and remove all screws behind gasket.Replace gasket put screws back in. Hang door back on.

Replace thermostat and show and tell made it easy.

I followed the You-Tube instructions, removed the ice from the compressor and replaced the thermostat with the part I received from Part Select. What I took out was a part that was very much inferior to the replacement part. The repair saved me a lot of money for a new freezer and it was not difficult to do following the video. Now the freezer runs better and quieter than ever. Thank you Parts Select.

Unplug freezer let stand all night to defrost. Remove the tray cover which is located on the upper back area inside the freezer.( 3 twist fittings remove it ). Remove the upper stainless steel panel which is secured with 6 screws. This will drop down exposing the condenser. Note all the wires and fan will stay attached to the stainless steel panel, this panel will drop down no need to unplug anything. On the left upper side next to the condenser you will see the thermostat. Two color coded wires. Remove the thermostat and install the new one at the same location.

Thermostat-Thawed freezer, took out drawers and loosened drawer track(back screw)to help remove back panel. Removed five screws from back panel with nut driver and slide panel up and out. Removed thermostat from coils. Two wire connectors pulled apart. Spring loaded connection on coil pulled off. Placed new part from partselect.(reversing sequence) Timer-Took two screws out from behind kickplate at bottom left of freezer. Pulled connector thermostat out of connector. Replaced with new timer. Turned plastic dial on timer until it clicked. Frig turned on, one week ago. Everything appears to be fine.If it doesn't freeze up in the next two weeks, I will start feeling real good.

Watched video on Part Select which shows you how to replace the thermostat with several good pointers. Very easily done and now the freezer works great.

Followed the sites instructions. Empty the bottom part of the freezer. Remove the screws. Move the panel out of the way. Easily remove the old part and replace with the new. Put the panel and screws back in place. The freezer works.

Ordered parts and three days later the parts were at my door. Took longer to clean stuff out than to replace the drawer supports.

I watched the video you had on-line and it was simple. Thank you so much

bottom left cornerof fridge defrost timer replaced two bolts and a wire

Purchased switch and socket, not sure which had failed. Moved all frozen food to refrigerator, turned off breaker. Used nutdriver to remove two screws holding box containing switch and socket. Removed old switch and socket. Removal was slightly difficult since cabling came off both sides of the box. Installed new switch and socket and bulb. Turned breaker back on, checked light as workiing. Replaced scrrews to re-intstall switch box ( or whatever you call it ) Closed door and waited for freezer to cool. Returned all frozen food to freezer. Job Done

The instructions given to me by part Select were very good.I replaced the Timer- checked the heater with oham meter it was good- checked the door weather striping it was good and replaced the thermostat with new .So at this point I may need to call a professional unless some one has another solution.

Took a while to get the front off the drawer, but once we did, it slid right into the part you sent and YOU SAVED ME MONEY! Thank you so much!
