FFHT1621TB0 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

replaced

As others have noted: this is an easy repair. I spent more time clearing all of our containers of yogurt that the actually "repair."

This is a good opportunity to clean the glass shelf and so I did that after removing it. Unscrewed the back support screw, removed old rail, and installed new one. (I just used the old screw as it seemed to be in good shape).

Took longer to clear the top shelf to remove it from the refrigerator to do the repairs. Super easy!

removed shelf. took out screw. replaced support

Very, very easy problem to fix. I took the shelf that the support rails were attached to out of refrigerator. Unscrewed broke piece and screwed in new support rail and simply slid shelf back into refrigerator. Ta~Da! If I can do it, you can do it!

The first thing I did was to remove all the food from the shelf above the drawer. I removed the old support rail that is attached at the rear of the shelf by one phillips screw. I installed the new support and secured it. Partselect was a great place to purchase the part and they shipped the part quickly.

First, remove shelf unit from refrigerator and lay glass side down on a large flat surface. Observe, then pay attention to assembly. Spent more time with this, drinking coffee, and playing with puppy, than the actual repair. Only had to remove and replace two
phillips head screws. Replace deli - meat drawer after shelf unit is in place in refrigerator. Check for clearance for door to close.

I had to tap the screw holes with a 8/32 tap so that the screws would not bind.

The shelf needed to be removed from refrigerator and then remove the screw and pull the rail from the bracket on the opposite end. After installing the new rail it turned out to be a fraction of an inch too long so I had to file the cracket on the shelf which is metal. The rail slipped back in and was perfect. Easy job.

The repair only involves two sets of fasteners. I am a very unskilled female repairwoman and found the top two screws easily undone with a Phillips head screw driver. I did not understand how to undo the bottom fastener which was a circle with an empty center, so I took the new handle to the local hardware store where a nice employee found me an Allen wrench for 47 cents. My only request would be that the instructions had said that was needed along with the correct size. Otherwise it went very smoothly.

No problem, got the part promptly and it was the right part and easy to install.

I took the shelf out and took part off and replaced the new one.

Used wood blocks to raise the door off the lower hinge bracket then unscrewed the suspect hinge. Cut a small shim, two layers of soda can, to place under the lower edge of the new hinge bracket and doubled the washers by using the old one to ensure I had adequate clearance for the door. After a little silicone lube I installed the new hinge bracket. All better now.

The Hardest Part Was Taking Everything Off The Shelf,Took Old Part Off And New Part Popped In And I Tightened The Screw And That's It Done!Thanks PartSelect!

I ordered the replacement part on-line. When I received the part, I realized it was the wrong part. I contacted PartSelect and worked with the service representative, Julie H. She was excellent!! She determined that I had used an incorrect model number, and then she directed me to where I could find the correct number. She gave me clear directions on how to return the incorrect piece, and then sent me a UPS label to cover the shipping costs. Julie H was at all times, professional, friendly and very helpful!!
