GRS20HRHW4 Gibson Refrigerator - Instructions

Bought a new drawer and just used the clear front from the broken drawer. Very easy to replace. Also fast delivery , thank you part select.

Used Old Screws And a nutdriver

We replace the end pieces to hook the holder back on the door.

removed screws with from the back panel of the freezer; located defrost thermostat attached to coil with a metal clip; unplugged thermostat and replaced with the new one. Put every thing back together and it works perfectly.

After testing and eliminating the temperature control and the timer as the problem, I turned to the thermostat. I had to wait for the ice buildup to thaw and then could remove the rear freezer panel (this was the 3rd time: first, to discover the ice buildup causing the problem, second when it came back after a complete thaw and test the thermostat, and this time to put the Partselect thermostat back in). My thermostat was visibly damaged from water melting into ice and expanding the casing and eventually breaking one of the connections. I connected the thermostat connection wires (not recommended) to get by while ordering the part, which shipped faster than local repair places could get it from their warehouses, and at a fraction of the cost. I'm really impressed with partselect's fast service and all the knowledgable customers who have explained how they installed them. I now have an intimate knowledge of how my fridge works and saved hundreds in repair, or twice that in replacement. Thanks!

Parts Select is an excellent source for help and parts identification. I highly recomend them.
My first option was to replace the defrost timer.
After still getting ice and frost buildup in freezer I decided to replace the defrost thermostat.
Remove all shelves. Losen icemaker if applicable. Remove light cover and bulb. Remove all screws securing rear vertical cover. Carefully move back panel, disconnect icemaker and bulb assembly. carefully remove styrofoam cover at upper left and remove defrost thermostat. I tested the thermostat and found it was defective. It would not close circuit after being placed in a working freezer. Reverse procedure to replace thermostat.
This solved the problem

just like the video showed...it was excellent!!!

took 4 screws out of the discharge vent on top of the refrigerator section and unpluged the wiring harness and put the section on the counter and unscrewed the timer and put the new one in and reinstalled the assembly and plugged the Jack and put the 4 screws back in, and rotated the timer and put it on defrost removed the back and check the heaters and drain .

Removed bottom grill, removed two screws on left side and removed timer, unplugged it and plugged in new timer and reinstalled. Less than 10 mins. The Thermostat is in the freezer section behind the back panel. Removed all contents, removed shelving, removed 5 nut screws, and removed panel. Thermostat was clamped to top of coil assembly and was very easy to unplug and remove. New thermostat had a clamp built into it and was very easy to plug in and reinstall to the freezer coil. About 15 mins. This is an easy job for anyone who has any mechanical ability at all.

Removed the lower trim panel from front of fridg. and loosened two screws enough to turn it about 1/4 inch so the screw heads were in the larger holes. Pulled it out disconnected the wire connector and transfered the heat shield and screws to the new clock, connected the wire connector and aligned the screws. tightened them and job done. Has worked like new sense. Thanks Roger

Unplug the refrigerator. Removed the right hand top shelf. Used a 1/4" nutdriver to remove rear center mounting screw for Control Housing. Used Phillips screwdriver to remove two mounting screws for timer. Unplug cable from timer and plug it into the new timer. Install the new timer and re-install the Control Housing. Plug in the refrigerator and adjust the timer to start the unit. This was a snap with the diagnostic provided by Part Select. At first I thought it was the fan rubbing but when I removed the cover (two screws) it was obvious that wasn't the problem. The diagnostic hinted that it was either the timer or the motor capacitor making the noise. Because the noise continued after turning OFF the control, I thought it was the timer...I was right.

I watched the video you had on-line and it was simple. Thank you so much

I'm not knowledgeable on Refrigerators or A/Cs, so when our Frigidaire stop working,I told my wife that there was nothing I could do to fix it. We had friends that had a spare in their garage so we offered them $500.The only thing wrong it was the ice maker. When looking at the manual and parts I came across this site and didn't realize that the air went through the freezer first. After putting my model number in,it showed the common problems with that fridge, then I watched the videos and realized how simple it really was.I Just had to remove the freezer panel in the back to replace the thermostat and the defroster was easily at the bottom front to the left corner, it cost me about $46 and about 30 minutes of my time. I'm a handyman and I do almost all my repair work and almost gave this fridge away. I can't thank this website enough. Yes, we spent $500 on another fridge but, it was one that my wife was wanting anyway. Thanks again

Purchased switch and socket, not sure which had failed. Moved all frozen food to refrigerator, turned off breaker. Used nutdriver to remove two screws holding box containing switch and socket. Removed old switch and socket. Removal was slightly difficult since cabling came off both sides of the box. Installed new switch and socket and bulb. Turned breaker back on, checked light as workiing. Replaced scrrews to re-intstall switch box ( or whatever you call it ) Closed door and waited for freezer to cool. Returned all frozen food to freezer. Job Done

Ordered the new part-Unplugged the refrigerator - took off the cover over the defective timer - put in the new part put the cover back on - plugged the refrigerator back in - so far, so good!~
