Replace it with the new one everything is working great. Read more

This website had some information about how to access the thermostat in the freezer compartment. Along with some other Google videos I found. I got some good tips on what to do about the block of ice and how simple it was to replace the thermostat. The damper control didn't have much information on it but it's really not that hard at all. The damper unit failed and works sporadically so sometimes the refrigerator unit was warmer than normal and then sometimes things like my yogurt or frozen... Read more

After checking the defrost heater to confirm it was ok. I replaced the main electronic board. That wasn't it. After 1 1/2 weeks, it frosted up again. I called and talked to a tech person at APP and then ordered the air tower, defroster thermostat, and temp sensor. I installed them all and the frig works great. I know replacing all those parts at once didn't confirm which one failed, but I just wanted it fixed. The cost was less than having a service call. The parts arrived the day after... Read more

Parts came fast. All is well. Thank you Read more

I replaced the diffuser Read more

The air damper was not operating so the cold air from the freezer could not get into the refrigerator. The part from AppliancePartsPros.com did work but not without a slight modification. I read one post related to the same part where the customer thought he received the wrong part because he couldn't get the clips to engage the freezer wall. The response from this site was that he received the correct part but he just had to push really hard. Armed with this knowledge I was prepared to have... Read more

Replaced all temperature sensors, damper, and the thermistor (all probably were not needed but I was not exactly sure the issue, but I knew my heater, compressor, and the evaporator fan were all working correctly). Read more

Replaced diffuser. Original damper drive was broken. Repaced with this upgrade design which channels the air flow differently preventing "freeze up". Job required 15 min. Read more

All my reading online pointed to the damper doors, and by standing in the open door of my fridge, I patiently waited until it happened again, and determined it was the ones behind the crisper. Problem was, there's both a single unit and a double set of doors listed on your part list. I decided to order both sets (and they came in two days, thank you). I watched your great video and even though my unit didn't perfectly match the one you demonstrated, it was close enough that I made the repair... Read more

My only problem was I didn't have the part in stock. I do maintenance at a 150 unit Apt. complex. The fridgidare model we have all 3 shelves are different. This repair was so simple a 2 year old could do it. The rest of my order was for stock. Things get broken quit often at work which is good for job security. Read more

• Fridge too cold
• Fridge too warm

First off I unplugged the refrigerator. I removed the meat tray, and the three screws on either side. The screws hold the meat tray drawer guides. I then removed the vegetable drawer, the fruit drawer, and the shelf above the two drawers, these did not have screws. Removed the one screw that held the damper motor housing. I then unplugged the motor from the refrigerator along with a sensor. I put the motor housing on my bench and removed the Styrofoam housing that holds the damper motor. I... Read more
