CRT182IQB8B Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I’m a technician,I was contacted by a customer. After listening to the customers issue I determine the freezer evaporator fan was bad. Real easy job loosen the hex head screws on top of the ice maker and pull it straight up. Disconnect ice maker wiring harness.remove the two top 1/4” screws that hold the back cover on and pull it forward. Disconnect your wiring harness and remove the whole back panel. Lay the back panel face down on the floor and remove two metal clips that are up at the top with a flat head screwdriver. Center plastic panel slides up and out maybe necessary to take a flat head screwdriver to the very top to release the plastic clip. Pull your fan blade off. On the backside of the motor just take and twist the flat plastic piece counterclockwise and remove your motor and install the new one Reassemble in the opposite order.

I ordered a freezer gasket/insulation lining; just pulled the old one out and put in pressed in the new one; solved the problem easily. Then the refrigerator gasket was falling apart. I was ready to buy a new refrigerator but then I got laid off from work. I ordered the 2nd gasket. It did not fit easily at all. My husband had to man-handle and stretch it; then it worked, as worked well ever since. Spent $250 instead of $1250+. Thanks. P.S. Could not find the year of the frig.

Took off old part and installed new part

just slipped the part in place

Removed bars from doors snapped in new replacements

took replacement part out of box and slipped it right into placed. could not have been easier

Perfect fit.

Twisted replacement bulb into place easily. Let there be light!

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.

There is nothing easier than this. You just take out the broken bar and put in the new one.
As easy as ABC....

i just pulled out the old frame and plced down the new fit perfect no tools required... .i will definetaly order from this company again love the "speedyness"!!!

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

I unplugged the fridge and unscrewed the back cover,unscrewwd the two screws holding the water valve in place and the water line to the ice maker and the electrical connection and install the new water valve,then buttoned everything back up and plugged the fridge back in and it is working great,making ice as normal.

Turn off ice maker
Slide wire harness shield off connector
Disconnected harness
Loosened 2 wall screws
Remove old ice maker
Installed new one reversing process

The repair was a simple replacement. The problem was that after waiting three weeks for the new drawer to arrive I had to call the company and ask what the delay was?? They said the first order was lost in the mail?? Second order arrived within a week. But we didn't enjoy having to wait this long.
