FFU17M7HWM Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

I removed the top and bottom plastic bits that hide the screws. Then I removed the screws and put the new handle on with the same sheet-metal screws. No problems encountered.

It was almost too easy. All I had to do was screw 4 screws into the handle, put the caps on to hide the screws and I was done. And I saved money by ordering from Frigidaire vs my local appliance store where I actually purchased the freezer.

VERY SIMPLE - PUT BIN ON PEGS ON THE FREEZER DOOR

I did watch a repair a utube video which I asked for when ordering. Pretty much followed most of the directions but:

started in left corner an lossed all screws from left to right. took off old gasket in small sections and inserted the new gasket and semi tighten screws

proceeded down left side then right little by l ... Read more ittle as above. to get to bottom of door.

bottom corners were a little snug to get them into place. the last corner was snug but once connected. tighten screws not too tight. You dont want to strip them.

test door with piece of paper.

if paper is not a snug tug, you can adjust gasket with a hair dryer set to low.

it was easy. freezer is all set.

Partselect was great to deal with, support verified the part number was correct for my freezer and help with that video.

Both end caps were missing on the door side bottom metal shelf. succesfully installed no tools needed

After removing the key from its shipping package I pushed it into the freezer locking slot and turned it to lock and unlock the lid and then removed it. I had no problems with this fix.

The left swing hinge (297283901) that i needed is not available anywhere so I bought the right swing hinge (297283900), used a hydraulic press to pop out the pin and move it to the other hole. After that it was real quick to remove the screws and change out the hinge, changing the swing of the door. It is easiest to remove the top hinge ... Read more and door first when doing this.

This did not fix the problem. Call a repairman and he cannot come until 9/11. Food is staying frozen. Alarm sounds for awhile and then shuts off for a bit.

Very simple - removed the plates that cover the end of the handel, then removed the screws and the broken handle. There were four screws - did a top one, then a bottom one, then the other top and bottom one. Made sure they were on tight and put the covers back on. Really proud of myself!

Was able to order the handle and screw it on the refrigerator using the screws from the original handle in about 10 to 15 minutes.

replaced handle

Used needle nosed pliers to twist and pull out remainder of broken parts (regular pliers would work, fingers might). Used fingers to insert replacements. So, simple, so glad I did it!
