FRS22PRCW1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I used a small screwdriver to pry the tabs of the front glass panel loose, and then slid it upward and out of the broken storage drawer. Then I slid the panel into the front slots of the new drawer and pushed in an evenly downward manner until it snapped in place. It was an easy task and now we have a new drawer that slides smoothly.

We took the door off and replaced the pastic washer. Found out that the repair people never informed us that the door itself has a bit damaged so this repair would have to be done over and over. Nice way for them to make money off us.
We were able to fix it so that it will last a LONG time. Sometimes it realy can pay to do-it-yourself!

Removed everything from the door. Removed all the screws from the door and took off the door panel. Laid panel out and fit gasket on it and then put it back on starting at the top. Used hair dryer to remove kinks from gasket from shipping. Everything went well. I left the door attached to the refigerator. There would be no way in my opinion to put the gasket on by just loosening the screws as the instructions stated. Its just too hard to get the gasket in that way. But taking the inside door panel; off worked well.

Refrigerator started frosting up and running all the time.I'd defrost it and it would frost up again in about a week.The timer seems to be work so I just guest it mite be the Defrost Thermostat.I removed the duck in the center and back panel in the freezer compartment defrosted it and switched Thermostats and replaced panel and duck, going to lower compartment of the refrigerator.So far it seems to be working a little more time while tell.

I simply removed 4 screws holding the casing and then 2 more holding the timer. It was very easy. I then replaced the timer by unplugging and plugged the new one in. I replaced all the screws and the job was done. Less than 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the shipping time. When I ordered the part, I had it the next day.

Replaced defrost timer & thermostat.

I removed the old drawer. Next I popped off the drawer front and threw away the rest. The drawer front then snapped neatly onto the new storage drawer. I then slid the newly assembled drawer into place.

Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.

Got the new drawers, removed the drawer fronts from the old drawers, slid the fronts onto the new drawers and installed them. Why did we wait years to fix this simple problem?

I'm a widow and thought I'd need my son's help to fix this. I did not. I pulled out & emptied the broken lower drawer, tapped the plastic cover off against the countertop, washed the plastic cover, snapped it into the new drawer, filled it & put it into the fridge. 7 Minutes, tops - most of that time spent emptying the old drawer. I can't believe I waited as long as I did to fix this drawer; it was ridiculously easy.

First of all, I both called and e-mailed PartSelect, to praise them for my overall experience. It's a 17+ year-old refrigerator, they had the parts in stock, I ordered them, and received them the next day; less than 24 hours later. WOW! The install was a bit tricky, just trying to get the old drawer fronts removed, to put onto the new drawers. I was careful to not manhandle them too much, so as not to break them. They were just kind of gunked up with debris, from the many years of use. I used the screwdriver blade to gently pry the drawer front loose, from the old drawer. Once loose, the reinstall was really quite simple. Thanx!

Took the front panel off the old drawer and put it on the new drawer.

couldn't have been easier, even an old lady (like me) can do it with no problem.

At approximately 1 a.m. last Monday, I tried to be the "good wife" and make some Crystal Light for my diabetic husband, who had gone to bed early as he was not feeling well. As I went to place the pitcher in the frig, I knocked over another pitcher of red juice and a bowl of fruit, also with red juice, spilling it all over the floor. Cleaned it up, but still noticed red juice under the trim of the glass crisper shelf. Decided to take the shelf out and wash it in the sink which required taking out the crisper drawer...which required moving all the stuff off that glass shelf too When I did so, I put 2 cans of tea on the counter and accidently hit a can with the shelf; knocked the can off and it hit just right to start spewing iced tea all over the floor in addition to the red juice I had just cleaned up! In my effort to compensate for hitting the can, I struck the shelf on the edge of the sink, shattering the glass into a bazillion pieces! It was made of safety glass, fortunately, but not wanting to take any chances, decided to wet mop the floor after sweeping up the glass and removing the thousands of pieces from the dual sinks. By the time I got all of this done, it was nearly 4 a.m.! I got online, found this website and was able to locate the proper parts with the help of the excellent staff available online and by phone. I ordered the shelf, along with 3 other pieces I thought I might need; the box came in 2 days! I fixed the refrigerator in less than 15 minutes, which included opening and disposing of the box and sent back two pieces of trim I discovered I did not need. I also got a replacement drawer for the bottom shelf which had been broken for a couple of years. The staff helped me with the returns, and not only have I returned them, I have already received notification and credit to my account! These folks are excellent! Thanks for helping this poor old woman in distress, and I hope the staff, and all of you reading this, have a very Merry CHRISTmas and a wonderful 2010! ?

The old drawer front needed to be carefully pried off with a plastic bladed screwdriver. The front simply slides onto the new drawer and is tapped into place with a rubber mallet.

Most impressive was the literally one-day standard (not overnight) delivery!

Traced issue to defrost timer ( burned compressor & element contacts). This unit is mounted next to the temperature adjustment control in the refridgerator area - right in front. Removal of plastic cover provided easy access to the timer. Unit unscrews from the mounting then unplugs. Installation is reverse of removal.
