FRS23LH5DSR Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

1. Punched the little circle bolt at the top of the drawer support all the way through the refrigerator wall using a hammer and awl. Removed the remainder of the old drawer support. 2. Previous two small alignment prongs were stuck into the alignment holes, so I had to snap off the alignment prongs on the new drawer supports with pliers to make the supports fit flush with the fridge wall. 3. Stuck new drawer supports into holes in the fridge wall and hammered in circle bolts with hammer.

May need someone to hold a flashlight on area during repair. The bottom ridged-tray does pull out easily, exposing three Phillip-head screws. Remove them. Lift the face plate up slightly and pull out to expose the wiring harness behind it near the top. Push the small clip that holds the white plug together and pull to separate. Set faceplate aside. Find and remove three more Phillip-head screws, one in top middle and two on the sides. Pull the unit forward enough to see the two Phillip screws that hold the metal pieces over the rotating arms of the broken lever. Cannot pull this unit out too far as the water hose from refrigerator restricts movement. Use needle nose pliers to reposition/release the spring clip that rests against the lever. No need to remove the entire spring. Remove the two screws. They are short, so be careful not to drop them or the metal pieces they hold down. Use needle nose pliers to retrieve them if dropped. Lift the broken lever up to disengage its rotating arms from grooves. Remove the broken lever by pulling up or pushing down, depending on where it is broken. Take new lever and insert from the bottom and insert both arms in grooves. Re-insert the two screws and metal pieces (large piece on the left). Place spring clip on arm of new lever. Screw the unit back with three screws. Re-connect the white plug of the faceplate. Reinsert the faceplate on refrigerator by aligning holes with hook-prongs and push in and down to lock in. Add the three screws at bottom to secure. Reinsert the bottom and push in to lock. Check lever operation.

Turn off the ice maker.You don't need to turn off the water. Find the water filter in the upper right corner of the refrigerator. It's the round thing with a shallow round depression in the center. Push in on the center and release. The old filter partially pops out. Remove it.and throw it away. Insert new filter and push until it locks in place. Run water through the new filter until it runs clear.

Taking it apart is sort of common sense, however putting it back together can be made a lot easier using todays technology of . Digital photography. Take pictures at each stage of disassembly and reassembly be comes very easy and you may only have to do it once instead of multiple times.

I should have ordered start kit instead of start capacitor. The start cap astir did not fix problem so I ordered kit. Compasator comes as part of kit. Followed enclosed instructions. Cut existing wires and reconnected new wiring. Simple as that. It's a plug in item. Now worried it may be working to good. Freezer down to 10 deg. Watching to see if compressor is running to long. Seems ok lol. Wife hates me now. She wanted new frige.

Removed the old ice container. Washed and dried the new one and installed. Works wonderful.

First of all--outstanding delivery time. I chose the cheapest 3 to 5 day delivery and the parts arrived the very next day. The closer plate was a breeze. The hinge bearing was challenging becaue it was broken off flush to the bottom of the door so it took some time with a needle nose plyers to break it into small pieces to remove it from inside the door. Once that was done it was easy replacing the hinge bearing, reassembling the door. Like others have mentioned it took the longest time taking everything off the refrigerator door. Just glad PartsSelect suggested ordering both parts at the same time since I had to replace both of them.
