FPE22VWCA3 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I read in another repair story how easy this was so decided to give it a try. I am a 57 yr. old female. I first removed the bottom glass shelf. I then unhooked the wire clips that held the drawer glide to the Support arms. I then unscrewed the four separate screws that attach the broken Support to the Refrigerator wall. I then screwed in the new Support. I repeated this process on the other side. I then replaced the drawer glide and re-hooked wire clips. I then inserted the drawer. 30 minutes tops including a little bit of cleaning.

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry open the front of the socket as I pushed the socket toward the freezer side. I unplugged the two wires connected to the socket then re-connected the two wires to the new socket and popped the new socket back in. I then put a new light bulb in and we had light again in the fridge.

It snapped in place.

Cleaned insert hole, did a dry-run, then pressed everything permanently in place.

The door shelves in the freezer door of my Frigidaire refrigerator were broken, rendering the shelves useless. I ordered four (4) end caps from PartSelect. The end caps arrived in about five days. I attached the caps to the ends of the door shelves and popped them into the slots on the door. It was a very easy repair!.

Removed 3 screws and old part; then lined up new part and put 3 screws back. I was amazed that i could get a part for a refrigerator that is over 25 years old. Thanks!!!!!

removed ice box and installed the new spool support

take 1/4 hex screws out clean out dust ,remove old fan blade replace with new install bolts .

Slipped out the end caps with the broken prongs from the front rack and slipped in the new end caps. (3 mins.)

dismantled the top rear panel of the freezer and found I had the wrong part. Hand started the fan motor and it has been working fine since.

I original tried to repair the motor but was not able to. I remove the screws on the back plate and removed the the back plate. Removed the shroud for the motor and screws, unplug the power connection and removed the fan motor. Installed the new fan motor and reassembled everything. The refrigerator is working great.

I slid the new end cap onto the bar and snapped the bar back into place.

Replaced the refrigerator thermostat. One hex-head screw in the rear and two tabs on the front hold the thermostat cover on. The temperature knob pulls off by friction, exposing two phillips-head screws that hold the thermostat in place. Two power wires and one ground wire are held on by clips. The replacement thermostat is a different shape than the original, but it is a direct fit. This replacement eliminated the problem. The only thing that made the job difficult was not having any instructions nor any wiring diagrams for the refrigerator.

Removed screws that fastened bracket to fridge. Next, I replaced the motor and carefully lined the brackets up so the motor would rotate smoothly. Put the fan blade on the motor and screwed the brackets back on the fridge. Motor kept popping out of alignment while I was screwing the brackets back in but I kept snapping it back in till it stayed.

Turned off water. Took cardboard backing off lower back of unit. Unscrewed the old adaptor from the water distributor. Unscrewed the water hose connection from the adaptor. Put plumbers tape on new adaptor. Re-connected water hose to new adaptor and re-attached the adaptor to the water distributor. Turned water on, checked for leaks, and tightened adaptor to water distributor until leak stopped (approximately a quarter turn) after hand tightening. Easy, hardest part was pulling out the unit and putting it back in place!
