FFTR1817LWC Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Slipped the new handle right on and tightened the screws, removed broken support rail and easily put the new one in its.place,tightened the screw and it was done

Pull out the shelf and remove the one screw that holds the support rail in place. Remove broken rail, slip in the new one, then replace the screw. Done!

It takes longer to remove items from shelf and clean it than it does to replace the part.

The broken fan made my refrigerator sound like a lawn mower I pulled the refrigerator out of it's nook and disconnected the power, removed the back panel with my battery powered drill motor, slid the old fan off of motor shaft, slid the new fan back on ran it to make sure the problem was corrected. The entire repair took less than fifteen minutes and was as simple as it could be. Please be careful when cleaning your coil, as the fan is easily damaged if you should contact it.

I unscrewed the old rails and took the number to order on the first day. The order came on the 3rd day. Can you imagine such fast service.
My daughter is a single mom with 4 children, one of whom was responsible for the breakage. I am the grandmother and was very grateful for the fast service and great price. The drawer was installed in 10 minutes. I just screwed the old screw into the new part and replaced the drawer. Thanks

The most difficult part was the removal of the existing fan and shroud. There is very little room to work between the condenser and the coils where the fan is located. The old shroud had to be removed as it was not compatible with the mounting for the new fan motor and blade. Make sure to unplug the refrigerator and give the coils some time to cool down. The first step was to remove the old fan blade... it simply pulls off. Next you need to remove the two bolts holding the fan shroud to the floor of the refrigerator. Then you need to remove the old fan motor from the shroud... unplug the wire connection and remove two small bolts that hold it on. I was lucky to have a VERY small ratchet to get into these tight spaces. Now is the really hard part, removing the metal fan shroud takes a lot of twisting and turning to get it out. The coils have a little play in them, but you must be very careful of the tubing and connections. Also, the coils are very sharp. Once this is out, IF you can get it out....I had my doubts along the way, you can start to put the new parts in... beginning with the new fan shroud which fortunately is made of plastic and has some give which makes it easier to get in. Then you can mount the new motor to the shroud with the three new screws. Plug in the wire connection, add the foam tape to the shroud and mount the shroud to the floor of the frig with the original two bolts. Lastly, attach the fan blade. This replacement kit is well constructed, fits perfectly and contained all the necessary parts (fan motor with wiring connection, mounting screws, wire connection adapter, fan shroud, foam tape and fan blade), but no detailed instructions come with it. I was lucky to get the old fan shroud out without doing any damage to the surrounding parts, but this part was very difficult for a do it yourself person. I would be interested to know if a professional has some other tips for this part of the replacement process.

Took old handle off . Then slipped new one on bottem in place @ top placed screws in place .Very easy .

Used model # of frigidaire on your web site... reviewed parts available... noticed shelves abailable... zoomed in to measure using crosshatch background... measured my freezer compartment... seemed doable... ordered shelf... receivednext day... attempted to slip in slots... had to grind off 3/16th inch on two legs... slipped in... Perfect!

Open door remove old gasket, remove new one out of packaging install new gasket

I removed the shelf that hold's the rail's then one (1) screw that hold's the rail in place then I replaced the shelf. Simple & Easy!!

Took old gasket off and put new gasket into place. Part came in the mail in 2 days. Hardest part was finding the model number of the refrigerator.

I watched u-tube and did the same thing. It was simple.

Parts arrived, my son brought the box into the home we first had to take all the food and stuff out of the fridge washed her down made the inside and outside look brand new. (1st) piece replace was the Door Gasket, I couldn't find a flat head screw driver so I used a butter knife and popped out the old Door Gasket cleaned away any gook and grim (Use a mister Clean Magic Eraser) They do a fantastic job. and also they get into those deep hard to reach areas. pop the new one in and that was that. New Door Gasket went right in. The (2nd) Door Retainer bars. they pop off really easy you can hit them with the bottom of you hand and they com right off, got one correct. had to switch the other two around as the door didn't close at first than door closed without a problem in fact it came with an extra (Door Retainer Bar) one so thanks the fridge has an extra should one break. (3rd) the crisper and fresh baskets. scrubs the heck out of the shelf and the glass. those look brand new. and then when dry put everything in added the baskets to were they go fridge looks brand new and we have gotten a whole new skill set. this was a very easy project to do and it was a lot of fun. I hope your will go as smoothly.

We took off the broken bar and put on the new one. It clips on. Took about 10 seconds and could have been done by a 5 year old.

Just removed the broken pan and installed the new one within 2 minutes. Really simple

Just like you showed on you tube.
