WRT21S4AW8 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

Using your online troubleshooter, it was probably the defrost timer and/or the defrost thermostat. Both cheap so I ordered both. The online repair videos showed how to replace those parts. Replaced the timer first with no problems. Removed the panel at the freezer back an saw a streak of black smoke on the white panel wall above the thermostat. Good chance this was the failure point. Video also showed how to replace this unit without any problem. Set the temperature control and let the frig run over night. Problem solved!frig at 38d and freezer at 0d.

supper easy

unsnap the old broken parts and snap in the new one.The easiest repair I've ever made.

Remove 4 screws that hold up overhead controls, this is also the part that holds the light. Unplug the timer and replace. Super simple and runs great now. After you plug it in it may take a few minutes to kick on the compressor but it will. Also I was pleased it was a factory Frigidare part. Price was right.

My husband pulled off the broken piece, then snapped the new one into place. Super easy, quick, and saved us money.

One retainer bar was gone. I slid the other one that had cracked out and just slid the new ones in. Took no time at all. The crisper drawer, I just took out the old cracked drawer and slid the new one in. It is clear, where the old was manilla, but now I can see the fruits!! The only thing I wish is that the manufacturer had put a post in the center of the retainer bars so they would not crack. Also they stick out, so they allow smaller items to slip out. Again, manufacturer problem. Over all I am very happy to have found this company!! I did have to go to the website a few times as the last # on my appliance could not be read and I was not sure I was ordering the right parts, but I could have called. :)

Took less than 1 minute to install. Snap in and DONE. The easiest job ever. Thank You!

The repair went very easily. I just do not understand why it is a plastic piece. This is the 2nd time I have had to replace this piece. This company is wonderful and I really appreciate all the help I get when I go online and/or call.Thanks

When I was moving the refrig. handles from one side to the other...I broke one of the mounts. It was SO easy to order from this place, and they ship IMMEDIATELY. Second time I have used them, and am VERY impressed.

Ordered the handle from Part Select, waited a couple days and it came in the mail. Husband took it to the rental and replaced the handle. Very easy process from beginning to end. Have put Part Select in our favorites to keep. Thank you so much for this service and the ease of the process.

Initially, I traced the noise down to the evaporator motor area. I thought it was the fan blade so I ordered and changed it. Noise level better but still not good. Then I ivestigated problem area again. Removed the motor,discoverd that the motor shaft was loose /drifting which caused the "hummm" and uneven fan blade rotation. Orderd and installed new motor and all is good.

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 fridge,Then take rack out n remove the 2 screws on the icemaker set aside,then remove 2 screws on the back panel, cut wires n splice in new part! put back the same.

Diagnosis: used wiring diagram attached to frig and determined cause could be wiring, heater element, thermostat or timer. After completely defrosting the frig (turned it off) I removed the rear cover in the freezer and looked for an obvious problem. None seen. Removed temperature select pod from the frig box and looked for obvious problems. None seen but defrost timer appeared poorly made. Repair: Since I had no practical way of checking the defrost cycle in operation, I checked probable failures on the Part Select website and saw defrost timer as most probable. I ordered the timer. Installed it. Waited a few days to make sure the frig went through a few defrost cycles then removed the freezer rear cover. There was no excessive frost buildup so I'm reasonably sure the repair was successful.

this was so easy to fix, we don't know how we lived with the broken one for so long. the part fit perfectly, snapped into place without a thought, and now things don't go flying every time we open our refrigerator!
