FRT15NRBD1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I flew up to Sacramento to help my Aunt with chores around her home & saw an end cap was missing in her refrigerator so I ordered the part from you kind folks & had it sent to her I think she figured it out & is very happy .

Website was great!

The defrost timer was right in front. 2 minutes and a screwdriver and I had it replaced.

To replace the thermostat, I had to take out the back panel, defrost it and then install the new part. the only problem was that the heatshrink tubing they sent was too large. Otherwise, it worked great.

This past February 6th, my wife and baby son were in a car accident. Friends were generous and brought food for my family during the height of our crisis time. Our refrigerator was very full and the bar across the door shelf got pushed in and the end caps broke. We ordered the end caps (with the excellent help of Susan M. in customer service) and recieved the parts the next day. I fitted the parts on to the end of the bar and firmly snapped them into place in the refrigerator door. Done! It was that simple. The hardest part was getting both the left and right part, and Susan M. wen WAY out of her way to help us in our time of need. It may sound like a small thing, but it was one more problem during a time of significant family stress and hardship and it was one of the very easiest to fix and it was all done very very quickly. Thank you PartSelect and thank you Susan M. You were our angel in a time of need.

Followed instruction vedeo from partselect. THANKS!!!!!

unplugged frig,removed bottom front cover and loosend 2 screws at bottom front left and slid defrost timer out from behind metal panel,unplugged the old and plugged in the new.frig works great.

Snapped new caps in place . Took about 30 seconds!

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.

Based on the diagnosis on this site I thought the 66% odds of the problem being the Defrost Timer looked pretty good, $30 including shipping versus a Sears tech phone estimate of $250-300. BINGO! Just follow the online installation instructions and don't forget to use the reset switch as described. Works like new! THANK YOU

thanks to all of the people who had the same problems I was able to make a quick fix on my fridge. I pulled the back cover off and found the compressor not kicking on so I replaced the start cap. and im back in bussiness.

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!
