Richard B Shoreline , WA October 11, 2016 Ice maker door not sealing causing frost buildup and leaking I wasn't sure if it was the door being warped, the spring return being worn, or the rotary damper failing, so I ordered all to update the door mechanism. I also ordered a new micro switch since one of the switches had started to require more and more pressure to actuate. Figured I'd fix it at the same time. Repair was very straightforward and the videos available on this and other repair sites were very helpful. I found a video that showed replacing the door mechanism on a nearly identical model to my fridge, and it helped with all aspects of the repair. Only minor issue I had on my model was that the water supply line was VERY short and the hole was very tight. I solved this by extending the line with a slightly smaller diameter tubing. I was able to slide the smaller tubing into the old one, and then feed that through the opening. Will make any future repairs much easier. And, the results are fantastic - since I replaced it all, I don't know what part was failing, but now I get that satisfactory 'thump' sealing noise on the ice door, and visual inspection shows no air leakage.

Jane S Bryan , TX May 01, 2023 The insulation and holder fell out of the ice chute in my side by side Frigidaire. The chute in the freezer to begin to frost over. I first ordered from another site that was a few dollars less, but I am still hassling with them about being charged without receiving any parts. So glad I found this company instead. Thank you so much for the videos you post on youtube! The process for replacing this part was very straightforward. First I tried to fix it with the existing parts, but they kept falling out. Note: I rewatched the video several times and read all the comments, which indicated that replacing the water line was the most difficult part. Therefore, I decided to try to do the repair without removing the water line. I was able to twist everything around enough to get the old part back in, but the Ice Door Seal seemed old/weak, which is probably why the insulation holder kept falling out. I ordered a new seal and insulation, figuring if it still happened I would THEN take out the water line, if needed. The new parts came the next day! The next afternoon I was able to follow all the steps in the video, except for taking out the water line, and put in the new parts. (I was able to slip the piece that holds the seal off of its pins and then back on without removing the water line.) Everything is working fine now. I'm a 69-year-old woman who loves to be able to make these kinds of repairs! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Norman T Bradenton , FL August 12, 2017 Appliance: Model FFSH2611PFEA Missing parts Ordered missing parts. Only issue was the fact that the "Ice Door Insulator" was included in the "Ice Door Center" that we bought. A $15 dollar error we did not need to buy if it was clearly shown in the parts list.
