F44R21NGB2 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Emptied freezer, removed fan motor cover (2 screws), removed fan and motor (2 screws), removed old motor from bracket and reassembled with new motor, transferred fan blade from old motor to new), re-installed new fan/motor (2 screws) and reinstalled cover...

dismantled the top rear panel of the freezer and found I had the wrong part. Hand started the fan motor and it has been working fine since.

Replaced freezer defrost thermostat. Unit worked perfectly.

1 went with maj 69% said defrost timer. NO. 2 went with second choice run cap NO. 3 went with my thought, ( PTC Starter ) why not, most exp part. Fixed the problem.

I'm not knowledgeable on Refrigerators or A/Cs, so when our Frigidaire stop working,I told my wife that there was nothing I could do to fix it. We had friends that had a spare in their garage so we offered them $500.The only thing wrong it was the ice maker. When looking at the manual and parts I came across this site and didn't realize that the air went through the freezer first. After putting my model number in,it showed the common problems with that fridge, then I watched the videos and realized how simple it really was.I Just had to remove the freezer panel in the back to replace the thermostat and the defroster was easily at the bottom front to the left corner, it cost me about $46 and about 30 minutes of my time. I'm a handyman and I do almost all my repair work and almost gave this fridge away. I can't thank this website enough. Yes, we spent $500 on another fridge but, it was one that my wife was wanting anyway. Thanks again

Watched video on Part Select which shows you how to replace the thermostat with several good pointers. Very easily done and now the freezer works great.

Followed the sites instructions. Empty the bottom part of the freezer. Remove the screws. Move the panel out of the way. Easily remove the old part and replace with the new. Put the panel and screws back in place. The freezer works.

Ordered the new part-Unplugged the refrigerator - took off the cover over the defective timer - put in the new part put the cover back on - plugged the refrigerator back in - so far, so good!~

I watched the videos (they really help) and followed the steps. Everything went smooth with no surprises

bottom left cornerof fridge defrost timer replaced two bolts and a wire

inspected visible refrigeration lines for evidence of leaking, found nothing substantial that would cause concern, ordered capacitor and defrost thermostat simply because both are inexpensive parts and theoretically either could be causing the problem. Both parts were very simple to install especially since I am a semi-retired refrigeration man.

Took out three shelves. Removed 9 screws with a battery powered drill with a phillip screwdriver bit. Popped off the thermostat like I had seen on the video. Put the new thermostat on. Replaced the two wires one at a time. Reassembled the unit. This was so quick that my wife told me to let her know when I wanted to fix the freezer. She was shocked that I had completed the job. I'd been in the garage less than 10 minutes. It has been six weeks. and the freezer is working perfectly.

I ordered a new thermostat and installed it in less than 15 minutes. Looks like the problem is fixed. Now ,the freezer cycles on and off correctly. The part was ordered on a Monday and I got it the next day. I am very satisfied.

just like the video show sa 1,2,3 yeaaa thanks
