WWFH20F2RCA Westinghouse Freezer - Instructions

I removed the shelves, unscrewed the cover panel of the fan motor and regulator dial, disconnected the fan motor from power, unscrewed 2 screws holding the motor to the mounting bracket and put the new motor in it's place. New motor had no thread in the mounting holes, so I put new tread in so I could use the 2 screws. Another option would have been to drill all the way through the mounting holes and use longer screws or bolts. Of course I turned the power off before I started repairs. Freezer runs like new now. Technicians wanted $400 for the job, while it cost me a mere $55 for the Motor.

Removed the old defrost timer by removing 4 screws on the holding bracket. Disconnected the wire harness. Reconnected the wire harness to the new part. Installed the new part with 2 screws on the top of the molded bracket. I am a 67 year old woman... easy-peasy. (the defost timer is located in the bottom left rear of the freezer.

I removed the back cover and removed the clip holding the compressor- run capacitor and start relay. I replaced these 2 components and clean the dust from the frig., and from the bottom of the floor. I replaced the back cover ; Loss about $300 worth of meat when when the frig. failed. Then I thought that, during these turbulent times, there are many which don't have a refrigerator or any meat to place in it, The refrigerator is "running" normal again.

Removed items from door. Put down blanket on floor. Remove top hinge cover. Removed small bolts. Open and lift door off bottom hinge. Put on blanket on side and remover screw holding upper closure. Installed new closure. Removed bottom closure and installed new closure. Reinstalled door and closed to frame. Reinstalled top hinge and bolts adjusted door and tighten bolts. Reinstalled top hinge cover. For indicator light. Unplug unit and removed screws for kick plate. Removed light holder and removed terminals. Removed light and install in reverse order.

very simple,started by turning off the power to that outlet (in breaker panel) then removed the 3 bottom screws, 2 side screws and 3 top screws (all 8 screws are Phillips head) in order to remove the panel. Disconnected the motor (unplugged it) and removed the 2 screws holding the motor in place to remove the motor. I installed the Fan on the new motor, and remounted it in place , reconnected it and replaced the panel and all 8 screws. (and the side seals push back into place easily after you replace all the panel screws.
Very easy, it took less than 15 minutes to make repairs and freezer was back in operation and back to below freezing temps in less than an hour.

Replaced thermostat and it fixed the problem. Freezer comes on and turns off automatically and regulates internal temperature around 2-5 degrees.
The hardest part was extending the coiled probe tubing and forming it to fit into clamp without kinking it.

would take off working when the temp control was increase one number. Came here after I got to the number 7. Changed both parts the first time and temp control is working fine at 4. thanks for all the help

Turned freezer off and removed cover in freezer at the bottom, notice fan blades were broken off, removed the 2 screws that were holding the fan motor in place removed fan blade and replaced with new fan blade, problem solved

This unit already had an area where an extra shelf would go. Just put in into the extra shelf holes. No problems.

Temp control thermostat fixed problem many thanks to Part Select for help with this problem.Was able to save majority of food.

Used Phillips head screw driver to remove panel to expose old thermostat control. Took picture with phone to use and a guide. Replaced old with new and placed panel back o . Working perfectly! 30 minute max to complete.

The timer in this older unit is clearly exposed at the back of the freezer underneath the freezer compartment. It is attached with two Phillips head screws. After the screws are removed, the timer can be unplugged and the new one plugged in. The new timer has an extra flange to allow it to be used on more than one model of freezer. In order to mount the timer in this unit, you have to remove the extra flange by carefully cutting it away from the timer body, in similar fashion to what's depicted in the online video. This will allow you to mount the new timer to the mounting plate using the two screws from the old timer.

Pretty simple, take cover off back of freezer to access thermostat, unhook thermostat and replace with new one. It had wire hookups different from original part so had to look up that information. Turned out it did not matter which wire went on which prong.

Unplug freezer.
Open freezer and Remove the bottom 2 shelves and drawers.
Remove 6 screws (Phillips) securing the inside access panel located in the back of the unit.
Locate the defroster bar which is secured to the bottom of the condenser radiator. Trace the cable to the thermostat that is clipped into the condenser coil.
Unplug thermostat power cable located at the top left of the condenser coil, and the defroster bar cable on the upper right.
Release metal band that secures bar to the coil at the bottom where the coil and bar are secured.
Reverse for installation.
