FCCG071FW0 Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

I replaced the defrost timer,defrost thermostat,and run cap.as it turned out the compressor went bad. I dont know the model because but the time I got this review I replaced the refer with a knew one . two weeks living out of coolers was so much fun !!!!!!!!

I replaced the thermostat. (Note: On a chest freezer, there is a copper tube going up into the wall of the freezer. The capillary of the thermostat goes into this tube.) 1. Unplug freezer. 2. Remove temperature knob. 3. Remove screws and remove cover plate. 4. Unclip old thermostat. 5. Using pliers, gently pull down the rubber seal on the capillary where it enters the copper tube. 6. Pull capillary out of copper tube. (In my case, the capillary was not free to pull out. I had to grasp the capillary with pliers and tug hard.) 7. Place rubber seal over the new capillary. 8. Insert the new capillary into the copper tube and put the rubber seal over the end of the copper tube. 9. Install thermostat body in the cover plate using the clip on the thermostat body. 10. Replace cover plate and temperature knob.

per the video..easy installation....unfortunately the temperature did not improve. We still have a refrigerator temp in the upper freezer.....and a "cooler" in the refrigerator section

I should have ordered start kit instead of start capacitor. The start cap astir did not fix problem so I ordered kit. Compasator comes as part of kit. Followed enclosed instructions. Cut existing wires and reconnected new wiring. Simple as that. It's a plug in item. Now worried it may be working to good. Freezer down to 10 deg. Watching to see if compressor is running to long. Seems ok lol. Wife hates me now. She wanted new frige.
