FRS26ZTHB2 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Looked it up on how to, follow the video
. Very easy 1-2-3 it was out and new one in..........??.

take the ice bin out of freezer. there are 2- 1/4" screws. these screws only need to be loosened a few turns. the ice maker can be slightly lifted up and will come off the screws. unhook the wire harness. take the "L" bracket off the old ice maker and put on the new one. set the new ice maker in. hook up the wire harness. put the new ice maker over the screws, tuck the wires out of the way and pull down into place. tighten the screws.

But I have back ground mechanical skills, I did see the video one time, and everything went smooth......

Looked up similar problems and found it to be the defrost timer. All I had to do was remove the plastic portion in the fridge section to get to the old timer. Popped the new one in and put it back together. Works great now. Would have been almost $150 to have a repair company come out and fix it.

Downloaded a schematic of the ice container. Disassembled the ice container, keeping track of which different type of screws went where. Followed the schematic to ensure proper sequence of blades and spacers. Manually rotated unit prior to installing into the freezer in case of binding. Finished.

Found that that ice maker was working mechanically and electrically but was not receiving water to the ice maker. I found that the dual solenoid valve was not sending water to the ice maker when I asked for water so I ordered a new dual solenoid and this fixed the problem,however I also found the water feed tube was frozen and had to take it off an thaw it out. Now the ice maker and water dispenser is working great.

i removed rhe old storage drawer from the refrigator. removed the front face and slid it on to the new drawer i received from Part Select. put the drawer into the refrigator and it fit perfectly. Part Select web site worked perfectly on selecting the right part. the part was delivered in three days. i would recommend this company for your appliance replacement parts and would not hesitate ordering from them in the future.excellant service.

Removed outside cover on door despencer, (4 screws) unplug wire, removed unit from refrig and replace rusted thru wire that holds door shut. It was fairly easy. I actually took it apart twice, once for diagnosis and once for repair after the part arrived.

Removed parts and reused the old rollers from the sliding meat drawer. Important point to remember is to not through away any hardware before the new parts arrive. New parts are void of hardware. Parts arrvied ontime as promissed and fit perfectly. I saved a ton of money doing this myself and not calling the repairman. great experiance.

Checked for continuity in heater, defrost thermostat and defrost timer. Heater good; not sure about thermostat or timer. Replaced thermostat - no change. Replaced timer - rotating and heater working.

I took everything out of the freezer. Removed All the shelves, took the front off of the evaporator coil compartment. Then I defrosted the evaporator coils with a blow dryer because they were basically a solid block of ice. Then removed the heater coil, installed a new one. Installed a new defrost thermostat. Put the evaporator coil panel back on. Then I turned the thermostat back up to where the fan came on and I noticed it took a few times for the compressor to continue to run. I don’t know what that was all about but eventually the compressor kicked in and everything worked like it should.

Changed the defrost timer and the Thermostat. Still did not fix the problem. Replaced the defrost heater and now it's cooling just like new.

Jonnine's husband did the repair - At first, I was stumped on the cause of the problem because I thought because I did get some ice, the pump (valve) must be working. But after pulling the dust cover back off the bottom of the fridge, I removed the dual valve. I had my wife operate the switch in the door for water and I could tell that it wasn't activating the valve at all. Ordered the valve, took 30-45 minutes to put it on. Worked like a charm. Full ice bucket now and water through the door again. Easy install.

The repair was extrememly easy and took about as long as it did to order the pasrt online. Just removed the front drawer handle with a screw driver ,slide it onto the new storage drawer and reinstall. Less than 5 minutes.

Replacing the old drawers out for the new ones was so easy that my 13 year old son took less than 15 minutes to do the job! By himself!
He pulled out the two old broken drawer,s took off the front panel,s on each, put the panel on their respective new drawer , filled the drawer up with the veggies that were in it before, and put the whole thing back in the fridge! Now my drawers work again and don't fall out or crack each time I open them! Hooray for replacement parts!!! Saved me a bundle on buying a new fridge!
