DFHS2313MF0 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

unplugged frig, removed shelves & inner lower back panel in freezer side, removed defrost thermostat from tube, cut the wires and spliced in new stat wires with provided wire splices crimped together and replaced thermostat on tube it has been a week and no ice so far??. this was after 2 trips by the repairman who replace the defrost timer board which was most likely good at a total of $160!!! still cheaper than $1000 for a new frig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took out the ice box, dumped the ice. Let warm up a bit. Then took out the housing and installed the new one. Works great. Saved a lot of money! Only took a couple days to receive the part. Great service.

thanks to all of the people who had the same problems I was able to make a quick fix on my fridge. I pulled the back cover off and found the compressor not kicking on so I replaced the start cap. and im back in bussiness.

I turned off the water, removed the cardboard cover from the back of the refrigerator; removed the 2 screws holding the water valve in place; unscrewed the plastic tubing from the valve; unplugged the wires to each solenoid (3); the old valve had threaded connections for the plastic water lines, the new valve didn't; I had to cut the ferrel off of the plastic lines so I could insert them into the new valve and then press the connector into the valve (I didn't anticipate something like this, but it worked fine); I reconnected the wiring and screwed the valve back into place. The ice maker started making ice and the water stopped dripping from the dispenser. The best $65 I've ever spent.
