Daniel G El Paso , TX January 24, 2021 Appliance: Frigidaire Freezer FFU20FC4AW1 My Frigidaire frost free commercial freezer was screeching louder than the wheels on my radio flyer red wagon when it was overloaded with 5 cent return for deposit coca cola bottles back in the 1960's In short - I replaced the evaporator fan motor and the evaporator fan blade. The Appliance Parts Pros website was extremely helpful to me. Here's how. 1. The site helped me identify that even though my Freezer says it's a Frigidaire, it's actually an Electrolux. 2. The site identified the potential screech causing parts. (I didn't take a chance, I bought all three) It was a worthwhile investment. My freezer is 20 years old so it deserved some help. 3. The site provided guidance videos (not exactly for each model but good enough to guide correctly). 4. The site delivered my parts (which were in stock) (which I paid air fare) in literally less than 24 hours. 5. The fan motor and evaporator fan were replaced first and the screeching stopped but I replaced the compressor run capacitor for good measure. 6. The repair was simple 10 each 3/4" sheet metal screws were removed and later replaced about 2 minutes combined. (holds the back metal cover over condenser coil). 7. 2 each rubber gaskets (36" long) were pulled off and pushed back in place in about 2 minutes combined. 8. 2 screws were removed from the fan motor holding chassis and tossed out. The fan came off with the motor. A new fan and motor were installed with new screws (old ones don't have the same thread - don't reuse) about 5 minutes combined. 9. Installed shelves and reloaded the freezer. 10. 1 each Philips screwdriver and 1 each 1/4" hollow shaft nut driver. No complaints from me...thank you appliance parts pros. My wife's complaint..." you made me take everything out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator only to tell me to put it back in 10 minutes? We could have just put it on the table! Add another 20 minutes to your " "done in ten minutes honey" " 10. More than 5 Stars; much more than 5 Stars!!!!

Theodore P Hemet , CA July 13, 2014 The fan which was suppose to be a direct replacement part for the fan in my stand up freezer fit fine but the electricial connection did not match the one on the old unit I had to cut off the electrical connection from both the new and old fans and splice the old connector onto the new fan. I used solder-less connectors and shrink tubing. It works OK, but I should have been warned that the connector to the freezer would not match. A 15 minute repair/swap turned into an hour. It was, however, the right size fan, and it did fit properly in place. Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
