FGHS2631PF3 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Well I’ve been cleaning refrigerators for 50 years... so have experience removing shelves etc., for cleaning....I removed shelf and then glass and put new one in........easy peasy

The repair was just as easy as ordering the part which arrived on day three after I ordered it! I had already cleaned up the broken glass insert, so all I had to do was unpack and lay the new shelf in. Took less than a minute!

This was a replacement part, a simple snap in. What really impressed me was the PartSelect web site and the ease of locating the part and making sure it was the right one. Finally, the price beat out all the others. Since this tray looked like others on the same unit, I needed the details, the different view angles and dimensions to make sure it was correct. No other web site was even close in ease of use or in providing such details. I know I won't waste my time at PartSelect and I've always gotten the right part at the best price.

It was simple. I loosened the two screws holding the ice maker unit. Then disconnected the wire harness. Plug in the new ice maker and tighten down the two screws. Held reset button for 15 sec. Done! took ten min. I had a full try of ice the next day!

Had to remove the refrigerated items off the crisper shelf to remove the glass, next removed the drawer to remove the crisper frame, then removed the middle drawer glass to remove the drawer, then the frame, installed the new frame cleaned the glass, re-installed the middle drawer, and continued the installation steps reverse of the removal process.

Support studs have an expansion fitting - center post has to be pushed through to allow expansion joint to collapse for removal. After installation, this post can be pushed in or pulled out to secure the stud and be the proper length to hold the bins.

None of this was obvious - an online tip from another member was invaluable.

Replaced the Triple Water Valve

Looked at video on how to remove and reinstall support and followed the instruct ions

Replaced the top crisper drawer frame. Installation was very easy. The hardest part was cleaning all of the spilled food/liquid items from under the drawers once removed to replace the top frame. I will keep the top frame and repair it. From what I have read, this is a very common problem as there is no support in the middle of the frame...it is only plastic.

Slip out old shelf, remove glass and clean, slip in the new shelf and replace glass on top. That easy

Turn off ice maker
Slide wire harness shield off connector
Disconnected harness
Loosened 2 wall screws
Remove old ice maker
Installed new one reversing process

I first opened the breaker controlling the outlets by the refrigerator. After verifying there was no power to the refrigerator, I removed the screws holding the trim façade in place and removed it. Next I removed the screws holding the control board in place and removed it from its position and then disconnected the wires connecting it to the ice dispenser module. I then used the diagonal cutters to cut the flex-tie holding the water inlet tube in place. Next I removed the screws holding the ice dispenser module in place and unclipped the water inlet tube from it and removed the whole unit. I then attached the water inlet to the new dispenser, flex-tied it in place and reversed the above stated process. Once completed, I restored power and everything worked well.

Followed instructions for this part from this site and things went well.

I unplugged the refrigerator and removed the back panel in the freezer. Here the coils were covered in a block of heavy frost. The coils needed to defrost, I allowed this to happen of the course of a few hours. Once this was done I used the wire cutters, cutting the two wires to the thermostat. Doing this I checked the continuity & got no reading. Having ordered the part at a more than reasonable price including 2 day delivery, I was ready to complete the repair. Stripping the thermostat wires connected the the freezer unit, I attached the two wires color to color to the new thermostat. Here I needed to insert both ends into the connector (butt end), crimping both sides. Making sure each end I'd secure. Do this for both sets of wires. Placing the new thermostat back on the the cooper coil (on the same one it was removed from), put the freezer back in place. Here I only screwed in two, in case I need to go back in. I plugged the refrigerator back in turn the settings back to default or factory. Allowed the refrigerator to come back up to temperature for 24-48 hours. I did these and I'm glad to say my 12 year refrigerator is working just like before.

The repair could not be completed. I ordered a thermostat defrost kit but received a collar arbor for a saw. They do not answer the phone at customer service and the order took close to two weeks to get in the first place. Beware of shopping at this site!
