Fan would not start occasionally
  • Mike from Satellite Beach, FL
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer . Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.

Side rail for sliding shelf would not stay tight
  • Scott J from Westminster, CO
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
The sliding shelf side rail is held by three philips head screws that tighten into nut inserts. No amount of tightening would keep two of the three screws tight. I found that the nut inserts which are plastic and insert into the side of the freezer would pull loose, probably from years of overloading the sliding shelf basket. Ordered t wo nut inserts from PartSelect. 1. Remove three screws to remove shelf slide side rail. 2. Remove nut inserts to be replaced with needle nose pliers or reinsert screw a couple of turns and pull nut insert out with pliers. 3. Insert new nut inserts, position side rail, and tighten screws. Replace sliding shelf/basket.

Temp skyrocketed
  • Wayne from Chatham, IL
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
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 wa s 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.

Would not freeze or defrost
  • RONALD from Sevierville, TN
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
Unplug freezer let stand all night to defrost. Remove the tray cover which is located on the upper back area inside the freezer.( 3 twist fittings remove it ). Remove the upper stainless steel panel which is secured with 6 screws. This will drop down exposing the condenser. Note all the wires and fan will stay attached to the stainless steel panel, this panel will drop down no need to unplug anything. On the left upper side next to the condenser you will see the thermostat. Two color coded wires. Remove the thermostat and install the new one at the same location.

Freezer was no longer keeping items frozen,
  • Philippa from New York, NY
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
I followed the You-Tube instructions, removed the ice from the compressor and replaced the thermostat with the part I received from Part Select. What I took out was a part that was very much inferior to the replacement part. The repair saved me a lot of money for a new freezer and it was not difficult to do following the video. Now the f reezer runs better and quieter than ever. Thank you Parts Select.

Freezer was warm
  • Charles from Macomb, MI
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
I first noticed my ice cream getting soft. Then 2 days later the alarm went. I emptied the freezer, opened the panels and saw no frost. I saw that 99% of issues were resolved with a defrost timer and thermostat so I ordered those. I have to say the parts came quickly and they went in very easy. My freezer seems to be in the 1% categor y though. It's still not cooling even though I can measure the temperature at the front of the evaporator coil is cold but by the end of the coil it's almost room temperature. I think a repairman is called for.

Loosened the screws, removed the old gasket. Cleaned contact area and installed the new gasket. Adjusted the door hinge and used a hair dryer to let the new gasket relax and seal.
