FCM7WNBWH General Electric Freezer - Instructions

First I removed the rear cover, located at the bottom of the refrigerator. Then I cleaned out the dirt & dust on and around the compressor. The relay has a cover, that is secured with a spring loaded clip. To release the clip, push in with your fingers, while disengaging the end clip with a screwdriver. Once one side is off the other lifts off. Remove cove exposing the relay. There is one wire terminated, with a spade clip, remove it. With a strait blade screwdriver, pry the relay off the 2 post it slides on to. (Don't be surprised if it breaks into pieces, as they are sometimes brittle. ) Slide the new relay onto the 2 posts, replace the wire onto the right terminal, and replace the relay cover & clip. Replace the rear cover. Plug in and test.

I pried the relay from compressor with small screwdriver, cut and replaced burnt wire going to relay,pushed new relay on compressor and wires unfortunately it did not fix the problem.

removed 2 phillips screws for side panel and one for cold control faceplate. Pulled control away from chassis, disconnected wires with pliers, pulled out long sensor wire going into freezer. Installed new part in reverse order. Works like a charm, should save energy and money.

got on part select web site and found other customers that had same problem and on their site they had comments from them to fix problem. I then took off back panel on frig where compressor is by removing 6 screws and found the relay attached to the compressor then pressing down on holding spring removed 2 wire alligator clips and it was bad ordered one from part select put the new one on an frig was fixed. entire fix took about 30 minutes from isolating problem to fixing it. thank you part select

Cut 1'x10'x10" select pine board into 4 pieces. Attached the four pieces using the Kreg Jig Jr to each other. Stained and polyurethane for appearance. Added EDM weather strip to bottom edge of collar. Disconnected hinges and removed lid from freezer chest. Placed collar on top of chest freezer then placed lid on top of collar. Carefully aligned collar to freezer and lid to collar. Attached existing hinge of lid to collar, then mounted new hinges to existing freezer mount location then attached new hinges to collar. Double hinged collar. Nice!!!! Not a repair but an improvement.
