MRS1 Refrigerator - Instructions

I replaced the defrost timer,defrost thermostat,and run cap.as it turned out the compressor went bad. I dont know the model because but the time I got this review I replaced the refer with a knew one . two weeks living out of coolers was so much fun !!!!!!!!

I watched the video from your company and within a couple of minutes replaced them. Very easy.

replaced the defrosting timer and saved a lot of $ by doing it my self.

Took off the old crisper drawer cover supports with the screw driver and put the new ones with the screw driver and small hammer (really easy)thank you to your installation instructions video.

snapped the wires from frig onto the proper prong and viola,it works. The proper prong is identified by the size because there are two prongs with the wires and two connecting prongs in the socket. I talked to a very helpful representative and she gave me the number for Frigidaire, when I was confused by the placement of the wire. Wish I ... Read more had remembered her name to share with you. As it turned out I didn't need to call Frigidaire.

I unplugged the refrigerator then removed the temperature adjustment knob from the thermostat which protrudes through the plastic cover located inside the top of the freezer compartment. Then the two hex head retaining screws were removed from the underside of the plastic cover allowing it to drop down and grant access to the bad thermos ...

The temperature probe is also removed from its sheath at this point as it's attached to the thermostat and has to be removed as well, it simply slides out of the sheath. Installation of the new part is the reverse of the removal of the old part. My refrigerator now works as good as new. Problem solved. The replacement part seemed a little bit pricey for what it is but, in my opinion, was delivered very quickly. As stated by another here, writing this report has taken longer than the repair did.

Closed door and plugged it up.

pulled down the thermostat cover and unpluged the timer control and replaced it with the new part. total time to repair was about 15 min. there was a vidio on how to replace the new part that just informed me that I did it right!!!!very easy site to find what you are looking for!!!!

You guys at Partselect are the best!!! Went to your site, typed in my appliance symptoms, and received possible fixes. Ordered the suggested parts (under $50) on a Sunday night and got em Tuesday am. Installed the easiest one first and Voila!!!! Frig is working great. Thanks Bob S

Remove 4 screws that hold up overhead controls, this is also the part that holds the light. Unplug the timer and replace. Super simple and runs great now. After you plug it in it may take a few minutes to kick on the compressor but it will. Also I was pleased it was a factory Frigidare part. Price was right.

Watched your excellent video online and made the repair just as your technician demonstrated....took about 1 minute!

Diagnosis: used wiring diagram attached to frig and determined cause could be wiring, heater element, thermostat or timer. After completely defrosting the frig (turned it off) I removed the rear cover in the freezer and looked for an obvious problem. None seen. Removed temperature select pod from the frig box and looked for obvious pro ... Read more blems. None seen but defrost timer appeared poorly made. Repair: Since I had no practical way of checking the defrost cycle in operation, I checked probable failures on the Part Select website and saw defrost timer as most probable. I ordered the timer. Installed it. Waited a few days to make sure the frig went through a few defrost cycles then removed the freezer rear cover. There was no excessive frost buildup so I'm reasonably sure the repair was successful.

Problem not consistent. OK for 2-3 weeks, then freeze coils. Mark and observe the defrost timers manual rotating adjuster. Timer would stop mid cycle. One revolution equals 8 hours of compressor run time followed by 30 minutes of defrost. Replacing timer took 5 minutes.

Removed front panel out of existing drawer, it slid up and out, slid it into new drawer, drawer was as good as new!
