FFHT2117LW1 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

The repair was very, very easy. The old Gasket was easily removed by pulling at (1) of the (4) corners and simply pull from slot around the full perimeter of the door. No tools of any kind are needed. Replacement of the new Gasket was simply to again start at (1) corner by pushing new gasket into the perimeter slot and using fingers push into the door grove all the way around. This install took no more than 10-15 minutes max.

Open refrigerator door to gain access to top door handle mounting screws. Remove two screws at top of the handle on the refrigerator door. Slide handle up to release the bottom mount. The handle is now removed. The bottom screw remains in the door. To install the handle slide the mount onto the bottom screw and check the fit. If the fit is loose screw it in clockwise and check the fit again. Adjust the screw until the bottom fits flush with the door face. Align the top two mounting screws and snug them up. Close the door and align the bottom handle with the top handle. Open the door and do a final tighten on the top two screws. Be careful not to over tighten because you can crack it.

First let me say that I am a female in my mid-50s.
It took a few seconds to see how the shelf retainer snapped into place and install it. No tools were required.

It took a little longer to see how the freezer gasket was attached. I ended up using a wide blade putty knife at the corners to help gently remove the old gasket. Then I slipped on the new gasket and pushed it gently into the proper groove. It was quick and easy. I really appreciate saving the cost of a repair man.

Simply snap the old ones out and install the new ones. Piece of cake. . . . . And saved some $$$.

First, unplug the refrigerator since you're working with live wires.

Remove the 4 Philips sheet metal screws holding the plastic housing that holds the temperature control to the top of the refrigerator compartment. Pull the housing down then out since there is a tube on the housing where the water flows out the back of the refrigerator during the defrost cycle.

Remove the 2 Philips screws holding the defrost timer on the plastic housing. Pull the connectors off the old timer and attach them in exactly the same positions on the new defrost timer.

Attach the new defrost timer to the plastic housing with the 2 screws.

Reinstall the plastic housing, making sure the water tube is inserted into the back of the refrigerator wall.

Plug the refrigerator back in and you're done.

At first I tried to insall the new gasket with the door still attached to the refrigerator. It was difficult to assure that the bottom of the gasket was properly installed at the bottom. As a result I removed the door from the refrigerator, finished installing the gasket and then put the door back on the refrigerator
