MFC09M1BW2 Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

My husband removed the old hinge, by taking out the old screws and the old hinge and attached the new one, by inserting the new hinge and the new screws. It was as easy as 123.

Took out the screws(8mm). Used pliers to close new hinges. Re-installed the screws with as large washers as would fit(to hopefully prevent the hinges from cracking at the screw holes like the originals did). I like this supplier, part was easy to find, correct part, shipped fast, price was good.

Took the broken one off & replaced it with the new one.

I used a socket set and removed old one and replaced with new one. Easy as 1 2 3. And I'm s 55 yr old female.

Removed the bolts and broken hinge with lid closed. Installed new hinge. Removed the retaining nail from new hinge allowing it to have tension.

Simple fix, the new hinge fit like a glove simple R&R.

I popped out all the little plastic rivets for reuse with a needlenose pliers. There was a lot of ice built up in the insulation. I rested the inner lid on top of the freezer box to protect the stuff in the freezer and catch anything I might drop. I used a hair dryer to slowly melt the ice enough to extract it without losing too much insulation (this is why the job took more than 20 minutes). Once this was done, I tucked the insulation into the lid. I fit the new gasket on the new inner lid and placed it into its opening. I then started placing the rivets. I did the corners first to hold it up. I was able to push most of them by hand. For a few I used the edge of my pliers. Good as new.
