DGHT2144KR3 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

The bulb wasn't the issue so I was hopeful the switch was. utube helped me some, but figuring my model was different than any on utube. Got the switch in and plugged it back in. Moment of truth. Didn't light. Ugggh! Out $50 for switch plus $20 for nut driver set.

Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?

Just lay the new glass shelf into the groves. The shelf was too big and would not fit properly down into the groves.

The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.



The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.

Lifted old shelf out and snapped new shelf in. Took less than one minute to install. Identifying and ordering the correct part online was extremely easy due to the excellent presentation of the refrigerator and its parts. Ordered online one day and received the part the next day!

I just put the new one in with no problem

replaced it

Followed the installation instruction for both parts now both the freezer and refrigerator are getting cold

The evaporator coil is behind the freezer. Remove the rack that makes the shelf and remove two 1/4” hex head screws I the back of the freezer to access the coil.
I used a hair dryer to melt the ice off the coil.
The thermostat clips on the refrigeration pipe to the coil. Remove the old thermostat and cut the wires at least a few inches from the thermostat. Clip the new thermostat on the pipe and strip about a 1/4” of the wire ends. The electrical connectors (provided with the new part) must be crimped to connect the wires.

Opened the box and slipped the new shelf over the existing brackets.Took approximately 1 minute. The shipping was very fast. Very happy with purchase.

I had no problems. Screws arrived sooner than expected. It was a very simple installation. Very pleased with both the product and service.

Had to replace both sides tracks; the plastic is thin and gets alot of use. Had these done in minutes, one screw out on each side allows the tracks to be removed.
Best part of the repair is the new clean shelves and drawers. How can you do this repair without cleaning everything?
Nice quick service from PartSelect, and the right parts!

Ordered the parts (slightly confusing as to which parts i needed since both the track and the spport rail had the same number) and after that arrived it took longer to empty the shelves than to install the parts, one screw on each side ( don't lose the screws because they do not come with the parts) to remove and replace. very easy and very quick.

I simply removed 4 screws holding the casing and then 2 more holding the timer. It was very easy. I then replaced the timer by unplugging and plugged the new one in. I replaced all the screws and the job was done. Less than 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the shipping time. When I ordered the part, I had it the next day.

Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.
