FGHG2344MF1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

After unplugging the fridge, I took a small flat headed screwdriver and carefully pried off the light switch from the inside, right side of the refrigerator. I disconnected the 2 wires from the switch and replaced it with the new switch and pushed it back into the frame of the fridge. Done !! Very very easy !! Thank you

Most difficult and time-consuming part of the job was clearing the refrigerator of food and shelving. Replaced tubing as it had split in the factory bend of the tubing directly behind the water filter. Take your time and don't get in a hurry.

Pulled the old seal out of the groove. Placed new seal in the groove. New seal has to be heated and massaged to get it into proper form so it does not leak. I have been continuously heating and massaging to get the seal to get it in the proper form. Been working on it for a week. Almost there.

Gasket is held in place by an extrusion on the back side. Simply remove the old gasket and press the new gasket's extrusion into the track on the door.

Easily removed the old gasket and put the new ones on exactly the same way the old ones came off but in reverse

DID IT JUST LIKE THE VIDEO SHOWED. UNHOOKED ELECTRICS, CUT TUBING, HOOKED UP ELECTRICS THEN TUBES TO NEW PART. PIECE OF CAKE.

Original unit had screw on lugs. After removing old unit, I unscrewed the lugs, cut the lines to remove the nuts and inserted them into the new unit. Everything was color coded so connection was simple. Reinstalled unit, cycled the ice maker several times only to discover the fill tube at in the freezer had frozen ice blocking the tray from getting water. Used a hair dryer to thaw out the tube, water flowed instantly. Very easy repair.

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.

Basically unhooked water lines and removed the screws

Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

very easy, make sure to watch the provided you tube video.

carefully removed retainer from old valve

Used a flat head screwdriver to pop out the old switch, removed the contacts and placed on the new switch, popped the switch back in. Done in about 2 minutes.

Easy repair. Great part. The hardest part was removing the fridge lower exterior door so I could get access to the icemaker. A couple of youtube videos later I realized loosen a screw, slide the icemaker out and unplug slide the new icemaker in and plug-in making sure the water spout was accurately over the water receptacle for the icemaker. Several hours later I was up to my eyeballs in beautiful clear ice cubes. Highly recommend.

Write down where tubing goes, wiring is color coded.
