I went to Frigidaire first requesting a new shelf as I needed more usable space inside the refrigerator. Despite only being a few years old, but purchased during early COVID years when it was hard to get anything due to supply chain issues etc., the refrigerator company said they no longer were making and didn’t have a way to get a replacement for a new shelf. I did a web search and found this company. I was worried due to reading a few negative reviews, but I have to say I was ultra impressed. My package came earlier than expected. It was super securely wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap and in a secure sealed box. I had it unwrapped, washed it and dried it and in the refrigerator in less than 10 minutes. I now feel like I have plenty of space for leftovers, drinks, etc. that I didn’t have before. I am very satisfied.
New off brand water filter could not be removed from the water filter base
Removed the water lines from the old base. Installed new base and reconnected water lines. Installed new filter.Turned on the water line behind the refrigerator. Opened Refrigerator door to watch for leaks. No Leakes. The new filter base was
We had someone to come and look at it and we were told it was the solenoid valve. The repairman unstuck it for us and said when it does it again, he would have to order the part. We took it upon ourselves to order the part and DIY. We replaced the part that we were told was the problem and "guess what" it's still not fixed. It's still shooting out crushed ice. Will have to call repair guy back out here to see what we did wrong.
Every part of the ice crusher (blades and housing) bent/broke in successive failures
This was the last step of serial repairs to the ice crusher portion of the ice maker. I have practically replaced the entire assembly. All the blades were installed incorrectly (at factory? Afterwards?) and had bent. That caused problems for other parts. I hadn't noticed that the housing was weakened and my prior repair I did something dumb and the door on housing wasn't closing properly, so it snapped. I bought a new housing and installed it. My #1 tip is WATCH THE VIDEO! There are some things that have to be put together just so. You need things to line up and be under slight tension from springs. Last time I had it under too much tension. The door got in the way of the blades and broke. So this time I was more careful to do it correctly. Everything is working perfectly now. This design is clever, and I feel like I can diagnose and fix it again in future. "Steve's" instructional videos are a huge help. He shows exactly what to do.
I followed the video and everything went smoothly. After pushing the pin in I pulled out the broken pin with needle nose pliers-very easy just like on the video. It took more time finding all the simple tools than the job itself-well almost!
Repair was easy. Unplug refrigerator, turn off water to ice maker, remove back panel, disconnect water inlet valve, disconnect water supplies and electrical connections. Cut ends off tubing to modify to new part connections, connect tubing, connect electrical supplies, reinstall back panel, plug refrigerator in, turn water supply back on. We made sure that there was no ice build up in the supply tube into the ice maker and made sure that everything worked correctly before putting it all back together. It was an easy repair.
