FFHS2311LB8 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Put on new shelf in seconds. What a wonderful way to be able to purchase the perfect part easily through the internet. I ordered the part on Sunday and received it on Tuesday. THANK YOU Parts Select!!! K.F.

It was very easy to insert the new shelf door into the refrigerator slots.

I slid out the tray in the ice/water area and exposed the 3 screws to remove the unit/panel. I then had to unplug the electrical connection and work the panel around to where I could get to the 2 screws that hold the actuator in place. The water tube holds the panel tight making it difficult to access these two screws but I was able to complete the job in about 15 minutes.

Removed old water valve w/ screwdriver, cut threads off old hose (as they just plug straight into new valve) & pushed hoses into new water valve. Solved both problems!!!!

Disconnect the two water supply tubes at the base of the Water Filter Base. Using a 7/16" open end wrench, press up on the blue "O" rings to disconnect the tubes. Use a Using an 8" long magnetic phillips head screw driver I was able to unscrew the 4 short screws holding the original water filter base and the immovable attached water filter. Replacement was easy. Simply slide the new base into the fixed slot on the refrigerator and reinstall the 4 holding screws. Reconnect the water supply tubes to the Water Filter Base. Install a new water filter.

I removed the two side mount screws with a screwdriver and disconnected the electrical plug to the ice maker to remove it. I reversed the process to install the new one.

It was the thermostat that was the problem, but I chose to replace the entire ice maker for only $25 more.

The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.

I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.

When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

The repair itself total time was quick and easy. Since the original fan blade blew apart, it was only a matter of putting the new one on in it's place. This can be done by feeding the blade between the cowling and Condenser coil and applying pressure to get it on the shaft.

If your fan is still on the shaft, simply push it off and extract it the same way. Then place the new one on the shaft.

In my case, since the part would take a couple days to get, and I had food both in the fridge and the freezer, I removed and unplugged the Condenser Fan Motor and the cowling frame and temporarily spliced a small fan I had into the line for the condenser motor. This kept the fridge working long enough to get the replacement part.

Side note. Direction of airflow is towards the Compressor, and draws air across the Condenser coils.

Hope this helps someone. :)

Watched the video on your website and you can’t go wrong.
Thanks for being there

Repair was easy. Unplug refrigerator, turn off water to ice maker, remove back panel, disconnect water inlet valve, disconnect water supplies and electrical connections. Cut ends off tubing to modify to new part connections, connect tubing, connect electrical supplies, reinstall back panel, plug refrigerator in, turn water supply back on. We made sure that there was no ice build up in the supply tube into the ice maker and made sure that everything worked correctly before putting it all back together. It was an easy repair.

Followed the online video from this site

Loosened the two mounting screws (no need to remove them), lift off the icemaker and unplug it. Reverse the order and done.

The disassembly was not as straightforward as it looked because it required more disassemble than just the damper assembly cover. The entire fridge control panel, the water filter, the air filter and damper cover all needed to be removed. Even after removing them, the control panel cover and the damper control cover needed to be separated. Thankfully the manuals showed that those two pieces do separate with a double grooved pressure fitting. After carefully taking those two pieces apart I was finally able to get to the damper control cables and disconnect them. The quickest part of the repair was the actual swap of the damper control assembly itself. Reassembly was really fussy and took a long time to get everything lined up just so. Once that repair was completed the fridge works again perfectly!! I was afraid I had gone through all that and would still need to replace the fridge, but it’s been a couple of weeks and it’s still great! The other nagging issue was the water dispenser lever had been abused by my kids for 15 years and was giving up. The replacement was also fussy but absolutely easy. The lever still isn’t perfect so I’m guessing I may need the actual solenoid part at some point but it does work better than before replacing it.
Overall, I would do it again and the parts were exact matches and were shipped quickly.

Removed old gasket and installed new one by pushing the gasket in the door groove.

Googled it on Youtube - unplugged the fridge, used a paint scraper to loosen the old light switch, unplugged it from the electrical source, connected the new switch, replaced the whole unit into the proper location and pushed it firmly into place.
