FFHT2117LB0 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Just pushed the grill on

Very Easy repair just needed a Phillips Head screwdriver. Unscrew two screws and slid the new handle in place and screwed it in.

When you purchase the part, it comes with two handles. One assumes that one is for the main part and the other is for the freezer. Actually, they are both the exact same size. Although the handle is not an exact match to the original it's close enough for a spare, garage fridge.

After reading some reviews there were complaints about having to buy two handles and other complaints about the handle breaking more than once so I'm just holding onto the second handle as a spare.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Heck, I'm grateful to have my garage Frigidaire! Our <5 year old kitchen GE broke in May and we have been unable to get a suitable replacement. I am writing this on October 27, 2020.

inside the freezer compartment, remove four hex head screws from rear panel,lift panel forward and unplug wire assembly from panel. find old defrost thermostat attached to copper tube by clip on back of thermostat, unclip, snip two wires to thermostat, take new thermostat, strip 1/4"of wire from wires in freezer (thermostat is prestripped),insert light blue wire from thermostat and light blue wire from freezer into opposite ends of crimp connector and crimp securely. repeat with dark blue wires. set panel back in freezer,connect plug to back of panel, refasten screws and you are go to go! save yourself the price of a new refrigerator or $300 repair by repairman!

took the old one off and snapped the new one in place. Very easy to do.

Followed instructions given on web site. My husband is not much of a handy-man, but he did these replacements in a matter of mere minutes. So happy to have the broken pieces replaced and all is working well again!

Unscrewed old rail. Screwed on new one. Replaced drawer. Voila!

Order parts on sat.afternoon,and got part on Tues.aand installed in less them 2 min.

just pull the old off and put the new one on the magnetic strip inside the rubber was the key it just grabbed the area real easy.

Thawed out freezer, I recommend laying a couple old towels in freezer to soak up melted ice. Replaced old thermostat with new part. Removed 2 screws, removed back plate, unplugged 2 connectors and cut 2 wires. Crimped in new thermostat and repositioned to original part location. Reconnected plugs as I reinstalled back plate. Installed 2 screws and connected power. Works like new! Trouble shooting and part installation video is very helpful, great site!

1. Remove from box. 2. Snap into place. (30 sec.) + part arrive 2 days ahead of ETA (Ground Ship)

With the excellent diagram provided by website, I was able to order the correct part. This part was not difficult to install, but so happy to know that this website provides instructions for more difficult projects.

REPLACED BACK SCREW AND SCREWED THE NEW ONE INTO PLACE,REPLACED BOTH SIDES,RIGHT AND LEFT...SUPER EASY.

I watched the instructional video and did what it said.

I initially replaced the defrost timer, and later replaced it and the defrost thermostat. The defrost thermostat was the faulty component
