FFU14F7HWG Frigidaire Freezer - Instructions

Watched video on Part Select which shows you how to replace the thermostat with several good pointers. Very easily done and now the freezer works great.

The electronic control did not defrost the coils. I had to use a screw driver to pry the unit off of the door. The instructions on line said use a putty knife or butter knife. I bent both trying to remove it. I suggest using a heavy duty screw driver. Once the unit was removed it was simple to put the new one back. It just snapped back in place. I also replaced the thermostat just in case. It's like buying $11.50 insurance. That required removing several screws and unsnapping the thermostat and unplugging the wires. Then putting the new thermostat back and plugging in the wires. Very easy to change the thermostat.

Replaced freezer defrost thermostat. Unit worked perfectly.

Removed old gasket by backing out screws around inner door panel. I did not remove the screws just loosened in order to remove old gasket. Starting from the top of the inner door panel I set the old gasket and squared off. Tightened top screws and worked the gasket in on the sides and tightened several of the screws on the sides then set the bottom of gasket in the door. Inserting the gasket in the bottom was the hardest part of the job. The overall job took less time than expected.

Ordered freezer key friday afternoon received it saturday afternoon. Fast service

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 was 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.
