All Installation Instructions for Frigidaire Refrigerator CFHT1513LZ8

Refrigerator light stopped working

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.

broken handle

Simply removed the old screws and slipped handle off of main screw on face of refrigerator door. Removed broken plastic of handle then slid new handle over screw on face of door, rotated handle till it aligned with screw holes on top of door and put screws back in previous holes for the screws. It was a done deal.

Freezer worked, refrigerator didn't. Ice build up on coils.

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.

replacing broken door racks

Super easy it took no more than 5 minutes to replace the fridge door racks. Starting from opening the box when it arrived to closing the fridge door with the new racks in place. no tools needed, except a knife to open the box.
