DGHT1844KF2 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry open the front of the socket as I pushed the socket toward the freezer side. I unplugged the two wires connected to the socket then re-connected the two wires to the new socket and popped the new socket back in. I then put a new light bulb in and we had light again in the fridge.

replaced it

Removed the meat drawer and shelf from refrigerator. Removed 1 screw from right side rail. Slid rail forward and removed from slot. Inserted new rail into slot, and aligned with screw hole. Installed screw. Repeated process on left side rail. Reinstalled shelf into slots and slid meat drawer into place.

I sent the rack back to the address on the invoice and never received a refund. I was never able to get through on the phone line to speak with someone or to leave a message.

The bulb wasn't the issue so I was hopeful the switch was. utube helped me some, but figuring my model was different than any on utube. Got the switch in and plugged it back in. Moment of truth. Didn't light. Ugggh! Out $50 for switch plus $20 for nut driver set.

Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?

I used the youtube you provided. It was pretty straight forward, but I had to make a trip to the hardware store for a bit (hex wrench) to remove the hex bolt head style screws. I was only expecting to need phillips or flathead. I managed to remove one with a set of pliers, and the brought that example to the store for size reference when buying the bit to fit my black and decker drill. The rest was easy.

First part sent dis not fit properly. Parts Select immediately provided a refund and sent another gasket which fit nicely. Watch a video if available - easy from there.

A little research told me the hum plus no cooling was either the compressor or the relay. I ordered the new relay and put it in but it didn't fix the problem. I ended up having to buy a new fridge, but it was worth the $30 gamble to see if I could fix it on the cheap and it saved me the money a service call would've cost. Pretty easy installation, just in a tight space on my model.

The evaporator coil is behind the freezer. Remove the rack that makes the shelf and remove two 1/4” hex head screws I the back of the freezer to access the coil.
I used a hair dryer to melt the ice off the coil.
The thermostat clips on the refrigeration pipe to the coil. Remove the old thermostat and cut the wires at least a few inches from the thermostat. Clip the new thermostat on the pipe and strip about a 1/4” of the wire ends. The electrical connectors (provided with the new part) must be crimped to connect the wires.

Did get bulb from another company replaced bulb was told to hang on to the three bulbs for 30 days if they don't send return label in 30 days throw them out at 95 dollars each

The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.



The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.

I just put the new one in with no problem

Had to replace both sides tracks; the plastic is thin and gets alot of use. Had these done in minutes, one screw out on each side allows the tracks to be removed.
Best part of the repair is the new clean shelves and drawers. How can you do this repair without cleaning everything?
Nice quick service from PartSelect, and the right parts!

Ordered the parts (slightly confusing as to which parts i needed since both the track and the spport rail had the same number) and after that arrived it took longer to empty the shelves than to install the parts, one screw on each side ( don't lose the screws because they do not come with the parts) to remove and replace. very easy and very quick.
