FFSS2615TD3 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Installation was completed by following the online Parts diagram. Had to completely remove all parts, including the blades in ice crusher, and re-assemble. Glad the online diagram was clear and easy to read.

I removed the screws that held the the ice dispencer from the bin. I than removed three screws from the bottom of the bin. I put the new plastic piece on the end of the spiral piece that
pushes the ice. I inserted the spiral piece back into the hole. I than screwed the ice dispencer
to the bin and re-inserted it back in the refrigerator.
It took me about 5 to 10 minutes. It's really easy!

Ordered a new shelf which arrived very fast. Installed in no time at all as it just slides in and rests on brackets. No tools needed and the new part looks just like the original.

The fault code HI or H1 would periodically appear. Evap coil and fan would freeze over. I replaced evap fan motor, run capacitor, defrost thermostat, and temp sensor with no luck. I know Evap heater worked because I burnt my fingers on it. I noticed when I tapped on the front of the control panel to reset the fault, the evap fan would turn on. I assume the relay in the control board was intermittently faulty. I replaced the board and my fridge is good to go, finally.

While waiting for parts I removed the control and side panels, placed duct tape partly over the hole to the freezer to allow fridge cooling and left the panels lay inside plugged up while I monitored the fridge temp. This worked until the parts arrived.

1. Remove 3 hex screws holding (underneath) the front control panel
to the top of the fridge.
2. Remove 2 screws holding the left side assembly. The control panel
and the side assembly come down as 1 L shaped piece.
3. Unplug the large control cable and the small cable then remove
the entire assembly. Note the position of the freezer sensor
extending into the freezer. Separate the control panel from the
side assembly to access the cable bundle.
4. Remove and replace the Damper Control Assembly. Note: You can
remove the complete old styrofoam (glued in place) or cut the tape
holding a 2 part styrofoam section that holds the damper in place
and only replace the upper part. Be sure to tape the 2 styrofoam
parts back together. Make sure the freezer sensor is placed
properly on the Damper assy.
5. Remove and replace the old thermistor assembly, secure the wiring
bundle and reattach the control panel to the side panel.
6. Place the entire assembly back inside, plug up the cables.
7. While supporting both panels insert the freezer sensor in the
proper position and replace the 3 screws securing the control
panel then the 2 screws securing the side panel. Check that the
side panel is flush against the side after installation.
8 Wait about 12 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

I had removed the housing that the drum was in and taken the screws out to get to the broken drum. I removed it there was a set of 6 blades that crushed the ice that had to go back on the same order when I removed these I put them on a piece of wire in the order they came off (so I would get them back I the correct order). Then I reversed the order and reassembled it in the opposite direction . It was fairly easy to do. I'm a 68 year old disabled woman so if I could do it I'm sure you could to. Good luck. It cost me $14.00 if I had bought the whole assembly it would have been $150.00. So it was well worth my time and effort.

put the new ones

We followed the video instructions and it went fairly smooth. After turning off the water at the street we found that the faucet at the wall had it's own "on/off" valve. When finished, we turned on the power and heard the gears going through their revolutions, but no ice was made. We waited 24 hours and still no ice. I removed the cover on the ice maker and adjusted the amount of water to see if that was malfunctioning. Still no ice was created. Waited another 24 hours - nothing. Waited another 24 hours (the site said that sometimes the ice maker would take time to reset itself) - nothing. Then on the fourth day after changing out the triple water valve we heard water being dispensed and later that day it put out the first ice in weeks. Another hour later another batch of ice cubes were ready and deposited into the bin. Since that time, we have had a full bin. I moved the set screw back to it's original setting because a little too much water was being delivered. The cubes weren't separating to individual cubes. That cleared up the problem. This was easily completed - we recommend others do their own work. Just be patient for the system to reset itself.

This is the second time I've had to replace the crisper cover, so I had that step mastered. As before, I took the glass from broken crisper cover and dropped it into new cover in seconds. Had to use a screwdriver to pry old crisper supports from the walls of the fridge. This was the only hassle. Popped new supports in, replaced crisper covers, and slid crisper drawers back into place. From now on, I'll have to be more careful about how much weight I put into crispers.

Watched repair video on plastic auger repair and decided to just invest in the whole replacement unit. 45 minute vs. a 5 minute repair.....no brainer. Removed shipping materials from new dispenser, placed on counter top. Removed old ice dispenser, dumped existing ice into new dispenser. Installed new dispenser with ice back into freezer. Tested and unit now dispenses ice.. Easiest fix I've done to date.

Unscrew 4 screws . Remove broken basket hangers. Install new basketo hangers. Screw in 4 retaining screws...

Pulled from box snapped into place took just a minute

Removed all contents from the glass shelf.
Lifted out the glass shelf.
Lifted out the broken plastic frame.
Set the new plastic glass shelf frame in place,
Washed the glass shelf.
Placed the clean glass shelf upon the new frame.
Replaced the removed contents onto the glass shelf.
Fini!!!

Slid the meat pan out of the fridge, popped the glass from under and removed it, popped the front of shelf upward and then slid it out, and for the new one I did everything in reverse that’s it took me less than 10 minuets.

Consult the exploded view of the Ice Container on this site. A likely cause the end plate (17) is worn. This plate connects the rotating corkscrew to the final plastic worm that pushes the ice into the crusher and thence to your waiting glass. The worm alone will not do the trick. To replace this plate, you need to take out all of the screws you can see, including the one that holds the spring for the crusher select bar.. First, the front cover, then the plate, and finally, locking ring from the worm and the black housing for the crusher. Now you can remove the whole worm assembly. Using a cloth or rubber insulator to protect it, unscrew the end screw and slide off the crusher teeth. Store on the table as a unit to facilitate re-assembly. Slide off the old bar and worm, put them back, and re-assemble. Takes a little dexterity to get the crusher select bar back, but not hard. Easy job.
