FRT21PRGW3 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

took 4 screws out of the discharge vent on top of the refrigerator section and unpluged the wiring harness and put the section on the counter and unscrewed the timer and put the new one in and reinstalled the assembly and plugged the Jack and put the 4 screws back in, and rotated the timer and put it on defrost removed the back and check the heaters and drain .

It snapped in place.

just like the video showed...it was excellent!!!

Slipped out the end caps with the broken prongs from the front rack and slipped in the new end caps. (3 mins.)

Problem not consistent. OK for 2-3 weeks, then freeze coils. Mark and observe the defrost timers manual rotating adjuster. Timer would stop mid cycle. One revolution equals 8 hours of compressor run time followed by 30 minutes of defrost. Replacing timer took 5 minutes.

I slid the new end cap onto the bar and snapped the bar back into place.

I followed the procedure online and found the thermostat was ok, it had continuity when cold, and the heater coil was also ok, it too had continuity, therefore the problem was a bad defrost timer. the refrigerator works great, thanks parts select!

I put the model number in the browser bar of internet and your site among others popped up.I was thrilled to find that you still supply this older model refrigerators hardware items. After Comparing prices, your site also listed the best price. The pictures you show of hardware I was needing was extremely helpful as it gave me assurance I was ordering the right product.From purchase to Delivery of item at my door a couple days later was a simple and fast. I was able to snap in new end cap brackets that hold the cross bar which holds back frozen foods in door compartment from falling out.

I opened the box the bin came in and un wrapped it from the bubble wrap. I then washed out the bin and installed it in the door.

Decided to clean the refrigerator at the same time as replacing the broken part. Took shelf out, removed glass, washed all parts, removed broken rail (two screws) and replaced new part. Piece of cake!

I first thought the defroster heater broke - took the back wall of the freezer off and cooling fins were fine. Then took the defroster timer out and opened it up. The contacts were badly burnt so the compressor and fan ran during only part of the cooling cycle. Replacing the timer took less than 5 minutes - turn off the power, remove one screw to take out the control box, cut the ground wire (new timer housing is plastic and does not have a ground connection), remove two screws to unmount the timer, unplug the old timer, plug in the new timer, fasten with two screws, put the control unit in and fasten with one screw, turn power back on.

real easy with the help of the video , made the difference

Having looked at the broken area, in some frustration, for several years, I had a good idea how it all went together: the front end slips over a metal lip suspended from the front of the shelf above, and the rear is held in place by a single screw (single slot with hex-dead). The most time was taken clearing the items off the shelf above. Having done that, the shelf was easily lifted up and removed. Flip it over to expose the screw at the back. Remove that screw and discard the old/broken hanging rail. Slip the front end of the new rail (carefully) over the metal lip. At the rear, line up the hole on the hanger with the hole in the mounting bracket and re-insert the one screw. Re-install shelf and slide the drawer back into place on the hangers. Good to go.

I went on partselect put in make and model number, a list showed the probable cause. I watched the how to video. When I received the part in short order I loosened 2 screws disconnected the wiring plug (sprayed it with contact cleaner) pluged it in, removed screws from old part put them in new one. Put timer back in its location and tightened the screws. Very eazy, works fine.

I pick up very fast at these kind of small jobs but because of my very busy schedule I decided to call (2 times) technicians about my problem but none of them had any idea. About my repair, I removed the grill at the bottom of the refrigerator, unscrew a small plate (located on the bottom left side) that's holding the defrost timer. I plug on the new part, screw back the plate with the defrost timer and that was it. Don't forget to turn clockwise with your finger the timer until you hear a "click" and then turn it slightly more to the right. There is also a video on U-tube.
