FFTR1814QW4A Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Opened the box, took part to refridgerator and inserted retainer bar in place.

We received the crisper drawer in magnificent time and unpacked it and washed it and dryed it, and just slid it into the refrigerator. Thank you for your very prompt service.!!!!!!!

Very easy. Watched a video on your site prior to getting the glass replacement. Removed the crisper drawers. Placed the glass in the front and placed it down. Took just a few minutes. Love your site and will come back again when needed. Thank-you.

It was extremely easy. I opened door, unscrewed the two (2) screws at the top of the door handle with a phillips screw driver. Once screws were out I rotated the handle to the left and unhooked it from the mounting block. The new handle was already equipped with a mounting block. I attached the new handles mounting block to the door and rotated the handle up and positioned the holes to the holes on the door. I used the same 2 screws from the old handle and tightened them into the handle and door. That was it. Very easy.

Turned off fridge circuit breaker
Removed all food from freezer and put in cooler.
Removed shelves from freezer
Removed ice maker
Removed 2 hex head screws
Tilted back evaporator cover and tried to unplug connection.
Found connection was iced over with a huge block of ice coming from water inlet to ice maker
Spent several hours trying to melt and chip away ice without damaging fridge.
Finally was able to break up ice with long flat head screwdriver and hammer.
Unplugged connector and was able to remove evaporator cover.
Cut wires near thermostat and removed
Stripped wire as needed and crimped new thermostat in place.
Used heat gun and lighter to melt heat shrink. This took a long time and required a lot more heat than expected.
Reconnected evaporator cover connection and reattached cover.
Reinstalled ice maker
Reinstalled shelves.
Put food back in
Turned circuit breaker back on.

Put crisper cover in place and positioned glass cover.

You tube is my best friend for DIY repair. I supported the door with wood blocks, removed the bottom bracket and was able to slide the refrigerator door down and out without removing the freezer door. Replaced both hinge bearings and door stop and washer on bottom hinge and slid the door back into place. Door is very light when empty. Fast and easy, door opens and closes smoothly and no problem with condensation anymore.

Replaced thermostat and defrost timer and still freezer to warm.
After research with U-tube video of (Fixin it with Pappy) discovered that my fridge has one thermostat in fridge section and in cold months (live in ohio)the garage is cold therefore themostat in fridge does"nt need to tell the compressor to kick on. Pappy is a retired engineer and in very easy to follow instructions will show you how to fix this problem. Strongly suggest to search for his video on Utube. I did as he instructed and my fridge freezer works great in cold weather now. Its apparent to me I wasted my money on the parts. I didn't` need to replace. Just happy my Beer fridge is working all seasons now.

Very simple. Remove the 2 top screws on the door, slide the lower part of the handel on to the lower screw on door .,swing the handle up to the top of he door and attach with the 2 original screws. DONE

screwed the center hinge and spacer on the refrigerator then installed the center pin on the hinge and bottom door placed the top door on the pin and then screwedthe top hinge to the refrigerator,like new

The repair was quick and easy. I simply removed the old/cracked door shelf retainer bars and snapped the new ones into place.

The shelf fit perfectly right out of the box. It was as if it was made for it. No tools needed except for the box cutter to open the shipping carton.

I had to cut a little of of the ends of the shelf to make it fit. I used an angle grinder to get the job done and the shelf fits perfectly. By the way I paid for 3-5 day shipping and got it the very next day can't ask for better service than that.

Slid out old, broken pan and slid in new replacement pan.

It was easy to remove the broken handle and install the new on. Only thing needed was a screw driver.
