CFHT1843LW7 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I ordered the replacement part. Cleaned out the bottom of my refrigerator, popped in the new part, replaced the food and was siting in my recliner in under 15 minutes.

It was easy to remove the broken handle and install the new on. Only thing needed was a screw driver.

Easy replacement, I did add some glue to improve hold. The new handle design was a little different and did not match freezer door so I had to change both. I guess that's why they sell as pair.

Replaced thermostat and defrost timer and still freezer to warm.
After research with U-tube video of (Fixin it with Pappy) discovered that my fridge has one thermostat in fridge section and in cold months (live in ohio)the garage is cold therefore themostat in fridge does"nt need to tell the compressor to kick on. Pappy is a retired engineer and in very easy to follow instructions will show you how to fix this problem. Strongly suggest to search for his video on Utube. I did as he instructed and my fridge freezer works great in cold weather now. Its apparent to me I wasted my money on the parts. I didn't` need to replace. Just happy my Beer fridge is working all seasons now.

Easy

I can't believe I put if off so long... so easy to do and PartSelect was very fast, efficient, and the cheapest vendor for my part.

I started look inside ,disconnected power, and open all possible compartments to see any burned part. Fortunately I fined a small part look like melted and then i went online and make my research .Then i ordered that part and change it.

The shelf fit perfectly. No problems. Was very pleased with the product.

The knob came in the plastic package. It was the correct part. I opened the package and placed the knob on the prongs. Now it works fine.

Thanks

followed installation video on your website which was very helpful. Very easy repair. The packing material was great.

I watched the video on how to change the defrost thermostat. I removed the back cover inside the freezer then I pulled off the old defrost thermostat and then using a pair of wire cutters I cut it off and then bared a little of both of the wires and then slid the heat sherink and wire connectors on the existing wires and then slid the other ends of the wires into the wire connectors then crimped the ends of the connectors and then tried using heat on the heat shrinks but still used rubber electric tape over it. I clipped the new thermostat were the old one was and then reattached the freezer wall cover and plugged the refrigerator back in. 24 hours later I checked the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer and both are running a lot colder.

The repair was very easy to do. All I did was slip the bottom part of the new handle over the Phillips screw on the refrigerator door. Then I put the top part of the handle in place on the top of the refrigerator door. I put the 2 Phillip screws back in the top part of the handle with a Phillips screw driver.

It took less than 15 minutes to replace the old cracked handle with a new one. In the future if I need anymore parts, I will be ordering from your company again. I am happy with my order and the great service I got from the staff at Part Select. Thank you, Sandy McClaflin

Simple instructions anyone should be able to do it.

Super easy fix! Used flathead screwdriver to start corner of gasket, then just pulled it out with my hands. Cleaned the track and surrounding area with a rag and some windex. Started in top right corner with new gasket and just worked my way around the door until it was fully seated in track. Done! Only thing I would do differently next time would be to start at the bottom when installing new gasket, just so I could have better sight and leverage at the end.

two screws out, two screws in.
