When I was ready to instal fan motor, I noticed that there was no thread where I was supposed to screw in the bolts
  • hector from los fresnos, TX
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
When i found out there was no thread in brace where bolts were supposed to screw in, I panicked. I thought I would have to send part back or go to a machine shop to make a thread. I called a friend for help and he told me the bolts would make the thread if I just screwed them in. Sure enough, the bolts made the thread and then I just proc eeded to instal motor and put refrigerator back together. It was simple.

Temp skyrocketed
  • Wayne from Chatham, IL
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Took out three shelves. Removed 9 screws with a battery powered drill with a phillip screwdriver bit. Popped off the thermostat like I had seen on the video. Put the new thermostat on. Replaced the two wires one at a time. Reassembled the unit. This was so quick that my wife told me to let her know when I wanted to fix the freezer. She wa s shocked that I had completed the job. I'd been in the garage less than 10 minutes. It has been six weeks. and the freezer is working perfectly.

coils would freeze over not allowing air to circulate throughout freezer
  • robert from royal oaks, CA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
replace thermostat and timer after defrosting and cleaning out freezer. I took less than 10 minutes and now freezer has a defrost cycle that eliminates frost buildup on the coils.

Side rail for sliding shelf would not stay tight
  • Scott J from Westminster, CO
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
The sliding shelf side rail is held by three philips head screws that tighten into nut inserts. No amount of tightening would keep two of the three screws tight. I found that the nut inserts which are plastic and insert into the side of the freezer would pull loose, probably from years of overloading the sliding shelf basket. Ordered t wo nut inserts from PartSelect. 1. Remove three screws to remove shelf slide side rail. 2. Remove nut inserts to be replaced with needle nose pliers or reinsert screw a couple of turns and pull nut insert out with pliers. 3. Insert new nut inserts, position side rail, and tighten screws. Replace sliding shelf/basket.
