CRSE263TB0 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

The most difficult task for me was getting old gasket out. I did call for repair help. The service person was most helpful. After almost giving up, one more tug and the gasket started coming out. Next step was cleaning the area. Aligning the gasket correctly made installation easier. I realized right away that I needed to start in a corner. The gasket went in without a hitch. My freezer is like new again. Next installment will be the refrigerator.

I unplugged the refrigerator and removed the back panel in the freezer. Here the coils were covered in a block of heavy frost. The coils needed to defrost, I allowed this to happen of the course of a few hours. Once this was done I used the wire cutters, cutting the two wires to the thermostat. Doing this I checked the continuity & got no reading. Having ordered the part at a more than reasonable price including 2 day delivery, I was ready to complete the repair. Stripping the thermostat wires connected the the freezer unit, I attached the two wires color to color to the new thermostat. Here I needed to insert both ends into the connector (butt end), crimping both sides. Making sure each end I'd secure. Do this for both sets of wires. Placing the new thermostat back on the the cooper coil (on the same one it was removed from), put the freezer back in place. Here I only screwed in two, in case I need to go back in. I plugged the refrigerator back in turn the settings back to default or factory. Allowed the refrigerator to come back up to temperature for 24-48 hours. I did these and I'm glad to say my 12 year refrigerator is working just like before.

Followed instructions for this part from this site and things went well.

unplug refrigerator and insert the bulb in refrigerator first and then insert the second bulb in freezer side. After which, plug the refrigerator back in.

From discussions with friends, I determined the problem might be easy to fix. The fridge made a lot of noise, but the compressor DID come on, and inside the freezer was cold, but the main fridge was warming.

After unplugging the fridge, I removed the fan assembly in the freezer (there were about 4 nuts and a couple of plugs to uncouple.

I could see right away the fan blades has broken off, but the motor looked good. The new new fan pushed easily onto the shift and fit perfectly in the housing.

I reinstalled the fan assembly, plugged in the fridge, and right away heard the new fan come on - very quietly. What was a roar became a whisper and the fridge was down to 38 degrees with a few hours.

REMOVED THE DRAWER, LIFTED OFF THE GLASS, REMOVED THE BROKEN SLIDE, AND PLACED THE NEW SLIDE IN THE PROPER SPACE. REPLCED THE GLASS SHELF TOP AND THE DRAWER. PEICE OF CAKE

So simple! I just slid the drawer out of the old frame, inserted it in the new one, and added the glass cover.

Remove old ice maker
Installed new one reversing process

I ordered 3 bins initially and received only one, which was very easy to install. It just snaps in. When I called to indicate that I had received only one of the 3 bins, a claim was submitted and I got a refund for the missing parts. Then I had to reorder the two missing parts.

When I received the reorder, both of the bins were broken. I called to indicate that they were broken. I was told that I would have to submit photos of the broken parts to photos@replaceparts.com, which I did. After I submitted the photos, I received an email asking me for the photos again and the serial number of the refrigerator. This is the first time the serial number was requested. I have no idea why they wanted the serial number at this point instead of when I first ordered the parts.

At this point, I am still waiting to get my claim for the broken parts approved. I assume that the shipping department is pretty worthless, since they screwed up my order to begin with and then the shabby packing that was done for such fragile plastic parts on the reorder.

I'm not happy with the hassle that I have been going through just to get a simple order delivered.

Slip out old shelf, remove glass and clean, slip in the new shelf and replace glass on top. That easy

pushed bin into place

Once I received the new bin, I removed from the box, then took it out of the plastic wrapping and gently placed on the door of my refrigerator. It was THAT simple. I honestly expected to do more work. I was pleasantly surprised.

Replaced said Bin-Door.

Got sent the wrong bulb 3 times had to pay for the three bulbs 75 dollars each Sent pictures of right bulb still wrong bulb no refunds for 30 days I even gave them right part number. Found out that the part number on box but wrong bulb inside told them and they seem not to care ordered from another company still out 225 dollars

Pulled the unit out from the wall and with a flat head screwdriver and a utility knife I replaced the valve assembly. It was no problem at all.
