FFTR2126LK5 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?

I used the youtube you provided. It was pretty straight forward, but I had to make a trip to the hardware store for a bit (hex wrench) to remove the hex bolt head style screws. I was only expecting to need phillips or flathead. I managed to remove one with a set of pliers, and the brought that example to the store for size reference when buying the bit to fit my black and decker drill. The rest was easy.

I cut wires from bad thermostat and removed it . Stripped wires and crimped connectors on new thermostat and wires from old thermostat. Used heat gun to seal sleeves over connectors. Very helpful video from this site Thanks, you will be my go to parts supplier from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unplugged refrigerator. Emptied freezer and removed ice maker and cover, need to unplug fan. Defrosted coils with hot water. Cut wires to thermostat as close to it ad possible to leave extra wire in case of an error. Stripped wire in new thermostat and put in shrink plastic then the wire crimp connector joining both light blue wires making sure wires were in before crimping them. Repeated with other dark blue wire. After used the heat gun to shrink the protective white tubing. The only thing i found not satisfying was tge tubing. It was too wide and too small. When i shrunk it did not cover the whole connector and was loose. I had to use a glue gun to cover both ends of each wire connector. Hope this helps other users.

The evaporator coil is behind the freezer. Remove the rack that makes the shelf and remove two 1/4” hex head screws I the back of the freezer to access the coil.
I used a hair dryer to melt the ice off the coil.
The thermostat clips on the refrigeration pipe to the coil. Remove the old thermostat and cut the wires at least a few inches from the thermostat. Clip the new thermostat on the pipe and strip about a 1/4” of the wire ends. The electrical connectors (provided with the new part) must be crimped to connect the wires.

Remove fan bracket from refrigerator, remove fan, remove motor, remove bracket and motor. apply in reverse.

The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.



The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.

took the item out of the box then I looked at it to make sure it matches .Then I opened the refrigerator put the shelf in I was done.

This was a simple repair as the shelving simply snapped in place. Like many senior citizens, I am skeptical about doing business over the net. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the service of PartSelect.com. The parts arrived promptly and appreciated the emails regarding shipping and arrival.

I had indaverently ordered the wrong part and the return process was simply a phone call away.

Thank you for the effective, efficient service. I highly recommend PartSelect.com.

The Repair was as easy as one two three. Just unpacking the part and hanging it in the Refigerator Door. That was it. It fit perfectly and it took only 5 Minutes to fix.

I just slid it right in and it worked!

Placed the new glass pan cover. No issues. The part was in original condition and fit perfectly. Thank you!

Very easy to install less than 1 min. But what I am most impressed with was with the fast service. I called an ordered part around 8am and had it the next day by 10 am with normal shipping!!! When I called and placed the order Rep was very friendly and professional. Good Job.

New Piece arrived and we just put it in. No problem. Very pleased with the service and the turnaround time was great. Thank you.
