ERL6296SK4 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I was able to replace the housing by only removing the front cover, the e-ring and washer and the 3 hex-head screws. I was able to work the old housing around to get the actuator arm off and then get it properly inserted into the new housing. Attach the new housing, IMPORTANT: make sure you get the fixed-blades and spacer assembly in the slot of the housing that holds them in place, replace the e-ring and washer, check that the actuator arm operates the door properly and replace the front cover. The videos can be helpful but these shortcuts will save some time.

Hardest part is removing the drip tray. it just pops out with a little prying. I used a putty knife. screw driver should work.
I found it easier to do a total dissasemble.
Remove 3 screws at the bottom of the cover and push up on it. Pull plug of wiring harness of the PC board,
I recomend removing the power from the refrigerator however I done a hot repaire by removing the black and white power wires (Left side)of the board, with a small insulated needle nose remove the other 6 wires make a wiring diagram in order to completely remove PC board (5 small screws) Next remove 3 more larger screws and wiggle the entire assemble from the door.
Two small screws hold small S.S. plates that hold the acuator in place.
Watch and get the levers back in the proper place and put it back together.

I followed instructions given by Jonathan from Universal City TX. I wasn't able to disconnect the panel frame wiring harness, so I just let the frame hang. I also had a bit of trouble snapping the actuator into place. Once I did, however, the rest was easy. Thanks Jonathan for the instructions!

Took the part out of the box and slid it in to place. It fit perfectly!

This was a very easy fix. I first ordered the cam only and installed it. That was not the problem. I then ordered the hinge bearing and installed it. That was the problem. Both times I installed an item it took about 10 minutes. Watch the video and follow the instructions. My advice to you if you have a clicking of your door order both the cam and hinge bearing and replace both. The items are not expensive.

This site sent me an installation video along with my shipping confirmation details, by email. It was very simple to do after viewing the video.

Unscrewed the old put in the new

Thawed out freezer, I recommend laying a couple old towels in freezer to soak up melted ice. Replaced old thermostat with new part. Removed 2 screws, removed back plate, unplugged 2 connectors and cut 2 wires. Crimped in new thermostat and repositioned to original part location. Reconnected plugs as I reinstalled back plate. Installed 2 screws and connected power. Works like new! Trouble shooting and part installation video is very helpful, great site!

inside the freezer compartment, remove four hex head screws from rear panel,lift panel forward and unplug wire assembly from panel. find old defrost thermostat attached to copper tube by clip on back of thermostat, unclip, snip two wires to thermostat, take new thermostat, strip 1/4"of wire from wires in freezer (thermostat is prestripped),insert light blue wire from thermostat and light blue wire from freezer into opposite ends of crimp connector and crimp securely. repeat with dark blue wires. set panel back in freezer,connect plug to back of panel, refasten screws and you are go to go! save yourself the price of a new refrigerator or $300 repair by repairman!

Test

Incorrectly! There are two sizes of door bins and they are not interchangeable. I ordered the wrong one, only to discover that door bin was also cracked. I now have two new door bins. All's well that ends well...they are really easy to instal, but if not the correct one, it will fall off!

Be sure to shut off the water supply to the refrigerator before starting this project in case some one tries to get water thru the water dispenser before you get this replaced or you will have a fridge with a lot of water in it!

Removed the screw that held the cover over the filter housing. removed the two screws holding the housing to the wall. The quick connect elbows were next removed. replaced the cracked housing with the new housing connecting the elbows first then remounted the housing to the wall. Then replaced the cover and was done in less than five minutes. Turned on water and checked for leaks

I removed the door (2 minutes) by removing the door hinge cover (one cross-tip screw) and then loosened the tuo hinge mounting bolts. I then removed the broken bearing hinge and plate (3 minutes) from the bottom of the door and installed the bearing and plate, and then re-installed the door (2 minutes). My four-year-old helped me.

The part arrived in about 2 days! The right side support that is attached to the inside wall of the refridgerator, that holds the crisper guide, broke apart and would not support the crisper. We took everything off of that shelf and took out the crisper and the glass that is on the shelf. We then carefully pried the support from the interior wall (it was a slow tedious move to be sure we did not damage the wall of the fridge). We made sure all of the pieces were out and snapped the new one into place. For some reason the old one did not want to come out. It broke into many pieces and we carefully pulled all of the little pieces out of the notches
