ACG130VNCW1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Door panel was already off. Took off broken caps, placed new ones on & put back on door.

It snapped in place.

First, I should tell you I break more things than I fix by trying to install wrong or tightening until broken. It may seem real easy to to put end caps on but there was a suprised look on my wife's face when she watched me put them on the first time. She made me some chocolate chip cookies to celebrate. I ordered the parts and received them the next day. I shopped local and and was quoted up to five times the price nobody had them in stock.

I removed the broken end caps by hand. They snap in to the center retainer bar. I ordered replacement parts from part select on their website. New end caps arrived in a couple of days. I installed new caps. No tools needed. Great service by part select. Thank you tm staten island ny

I put the end caps on the cross bar and reinstalled it in the fridge. Easy job.

cut the retainer bar to proper lengh, put on the
end caps of both bars in question and snapped them both into place.

put both end caps on metal guard,put back on door,push down to lock into place. 30 second repair,

The repair was very easy. I had to squeeze the ends of the door shelf in a bit with pliers since the shape of the new end caps was slightly smaller than the shelf bar. BUT - here is the most important part. I had gone to a parts replacement store where I was quoted the price of $18.00 EACH for the end caps. Yes, $18.00 each!! With PartSelect, I paid less than that for the 2 caps including shipping - $15.42 total. Thank you, PartSelect.

You just slide off the broken part and replace it with a new part. I had to make a slight adjustment to the end of the shelf rail to allow the new piece to properly mate with the old shelf rail.

inserted shelf caps into rack strip then into openings and hit them with my fist (gently) till they 'seated' and locked

The old drain pan had a 1 ½” tall bushing attached to the center of the pan. The new pan did not have this bushing which was great. I had to cut about 1 inch off the bushing to remove the old pan. Also after cutting the bushing I had to screw the bushing off after cutting the old pan from the bushing. I installed new pan onto the ½” of threads that was left on the top of the compressor. Checked repair two days later all was great.

Previously I glued them on with epoxy and Taped them. Often redoing. So I needed to clean the surface with goo gone. And to clean out the slots I used a utility knife. I had a small bump on the new end cap so I removed it with the utility knife. Simply put the end caps on the rail on each end. Then put the hooks in the slots and slide downward until it is secure. I should have thought of parts before! When the rail broke off I had cherries in a jar on that shelf. It crashed to the floor. I had a sticky mess every where.

replaced broken end cap

I snapped the brackets into the ends of the shelf bar, then inserted them into the holes in the door and pulled down each end until it snapped in place.
