FRT17G4BW9 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Ordered a new evaporator fan motor and watched the repair video supplied by part select on their web site.It was spot on step by step instructions

Came across your site and upon checking site out, I ordered the above parts. Repair was easy, thanks to your tutorial. Did not fix problem, so I posed a question to your site and it was recommended I replace the evap fan. I ordered that part. Thank goodness for next day shipping.
That repair was easy as well, thanks to feedback from one of your other customers who had a similar issue. That repair did fix the problem.

The bulb wasn't the issue so I was hopeful the switch was. utube helped me some, but figuring my model was different than any on utube. Got the switch in and plugged it back in. Moment of truth. Didn't light. Ugggh! Out $50 for switch plus $20 for nut driver set.

I used the youtube you provided. It was pretty straight forward, but I had to make a trip to the hardware store for a bit (hex wrench) to remove the hex bolt head style screws. I was only expecting to need phillips or flathead. I managed to remove one with a set of pliers, and the brought that example to the store for size reference when buying the bit to fit my black and decker drill. The rest was easy.

All you do is snap it on

Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?

I cut wires from bad thermostat and removed it . Stripped wires and crimped connectors on new thermostat and wires from old thermostat. Used heat gun to seal sleeves over connectors. Very helpful video from this site Thanks, you will be my go to parts supplier from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Removed glass shelf and frame. Unscrewed support from frame,replace with new support and screwed it into the frame, attach drawer and replace shelf in fridge .

Unplugged refrigerator. Emptied freezer and removed ice maker and cover, need to unplug fan. Defrosted coils with hot water. Cut wires to thermostat as close to it ad possible to leave extra wire in case of an error. Stripped wire in new thermostat and put in shrink plastic then the wire crimp connector joining both light blue wires making sure wires were in before crimping them. Repeated with other dark blue wire. After used the heat gun to shrink the protective white tubing. The only thing i found not satisfying was tge tubing. It was too wide and too small. When i shrunk it did not cover the whole connector and was loose. I had to use a glue gun to cover both ends of each wire connector. Hope this helps other users.

Ordered part easily with modal number ( they tell you where to find it). Received quickly and snapped paper in. They also had a video instruction. Will definitely use again!

Removed panel over the motor in the freezer department. Removed screws holding the motor in, unplug wires. Reversed process to install motor.

Removed shelf from frig. Removed screw of broken rail. Replaced with new rail with screw. Very easy.

Removed top shelf. Removed rail screw and old rail. Install new rail and use rail screw to secure.

A single screw holds the part in place. The ONLY challenge is seating the new slide so that the screw hole in the glide matches the hole in the support assembly. Initially setting the glide into place mismatched by about 1/16 of an inch toward the back of the refrigerator. Firmly grasping the new part after mating it to the two receivers on the support assembly, pull it toward you until it clicks into place. The screw should mate cleanly to the new part without any difficulty. Make sure you get the right or left side part, as they are not interchangeable.
