FRS20NRAD0 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the drawer fronts from the old drawers and slid them onto the new drawers. My fridge is like new again and the repair was a lot less expensive than buying a new one. My drawers arrived the day after I ordered them!!

I talked to a human who spoke english and was pleasant. She managed to work with me in a timely fashion to order the desired piece of Kenmore refrigeration equipment in less time than what iiwas trying to do myself on the internet. Her knowledge that was very valuable made this experience exceptional and memorable. However, the price to replace a crisper drawer is ridiculous.

The front piece had to be removed by slipping it off the broken drawer and then slipped back onto the front of the new crisper drawer. The bottom did not exactly go where it was designed to go so there remains a gap. I could use tools or forcably try and pry it into place so it is flush and pretty but the thought of breaking it sends my wallet into seizures.

We took the door off and replaced the pastic washer. Found out that the repair people never informed us that the door itself has a bit damaged so this repair would have to be done over and over. Nice way for them to make money off us.
We were able to fix it so that it will last a LONG time. Sometimes it realy can pay to do-it-yourself!

Found the part on this site ordered and received part in 3 days. Took approx. 10 min to replace. Thanks for the quick service.

I watch the how to repair video on line and the repair went very quick and easy.It was just like the video,no hidden suprises.

Unplugged fridge, opened the door, used flat head screwdriver to pop off old switch, unplugged wires, plugged in new switch, popped it back in, and plugged the fridge back in. 2 minute fix.

raised the sides of the drawer front up, then pulled the front straight up. Then put the front in the slots of the new drawer and pushed down. I gave it a light tap on the top corner and it locked into place. I put my food stuffs back in the drawers and slid them back into the refrigerator. Job done in about eight min, for two drawers.

Ordered the Capacitor and the Thermostat Control. Parts were received in a matter of a few days, easy to install, but did not fix the problem. Had to call a repairman to fix the problem (compressor relay - this part not available to order for this model number with Parts Select). Will continue to use Parts Select in the future for other parts, but not happy that the actual part I needed was not available - had to use other methods.

Remove the cardboard access cover at the bottom back of the fridge. On the left side, locate the run capacitor. Remove it by prying it loose from its socket, after first removing the wire hold down clamp. One wonders why the clamp is there, which makes it difficult to get the run capacitor out. Be careful not to disrupt in any way the copper refrigerant tubes. If you mess them up, you will have wasted your time and effort trying to repair the machine. I was lucky, since a failed run capacitor is the problem only about 12% of the time, based on what I’ve read. Hallelujah! It was the problem with my fridge.

A little research told me the hum plus no cooling was either the compressor or the relay. I ordered the new relay and put it in but it didn't fix the problem. I ended up having to buy a new fridge, but it was worth the $30 gamble to see if I could fix it on the cheap and it saved me the money a service call would've cost. Pretty easy installation, just in a tight space on my model.

replaced it

Traced issue to defrost timer ( burned compressor & element contacts). This unit is mounted next to the temperature adjustment control in the refridgerator area - right in front. Removal of plastic cover provided easy access to the timer. Unit unscrews from the mounting then unplugs. Installation is reverse of removal.

Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.

I simply removed 4 screws holding the casing and then 2 more holding the timer. It was very easy. I then replaced the timer by unplugging and plugged the new one in. I replaced all the screws and the job was done. Less than 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the shipping time. When I ordered the part, I had it the next day.

removed drawer, removed front, slid in the front, put back in. done
