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.

James G Fernandina Beach , FL August 16, 2020 Appliance: Model FRS6LF7JS0 -FRIGIDAIRE REFRIGERATOR Ice dispenser actuator arm required replacement. We fixed it with the help of the APP you tube. The hard part was guiding the waterline back through the hole in the new part. There was no way regardless of the angle approach to get the line to where it needed to go because of the short length of the line provided by the manufacturer. I ended up having a McGyver moment! With the help of a hanger with a special bent hook on the end we were able to fish the line in and through the hole. In addition to the hanger we used round toothpicks to act as wedges to keep the hanger in the line! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Andrew V Fort Worth , TX August 23, 2015 Water actuator was broken and ice flap spring was weak Installed a new actuator and torsion spring. Everything was fairly easy, thanks to the video! Only problem was re-installing the water hose into the housing. Luckily I had a long neck plyer (8 inch) to get it back in, but wasn't straight forward. Read More...
