How to Replace the Door Bin of a Frigidaire Refrigerator
Replacing the Frigidaire refrigerator door bin is an easy DIY project that can restore your freezer to its original condition in no time. The bin is made of plastic and is held in place by four screws, so it’s just a matter of unscrewing them and popping the bin out. Once it’s out, you’ll need to remove the old bin and replace it with a new one. Here are instructions on how to do it:
1. In order to access the screws that hold the bin in place, you first have to remove the front panel of the refrigerator. This can be done by removing two screws at the top and two screws at the bottom of the front panel. Once those are out, gently lift off the panel and set it aside.
2. Next, use a flathead screwdriver to pop open two tabs on either side of the bin (see photo above). Once you do that, you can pull out the bin from its mountings (see photo below).
3. Make sure that all of the pieces are properly cleaned before you start replacing the bin. Use a damp cloth to clean off any dirt or
The Safety Concerns with Replacement Doors
There are many safety concerns with replacing refrigerator door bins. When a bin is replaced, the new one may not fit exactly the same and could pose a risk of injury. Other dangers include pressing on the hinge mechanism or electrical wiring that runs behind the bin, which could cause damage. If a child gets their hand caught in the door while it’s open, they can be seriously injured. Replacing a refrigerator door bin is also an unnecessary waste of energy, as most are already very old and need to be replaced only if they’re damaged beyond repair.
Features of a Replacement Door
If your refrigerator is not Operating at its best, it may be time to replace the door bin. Here are a few features to consider when replacing your frigidaire fridge door bin:
-Door Bin Capacity:
Many frigidaire models have a capacity of 1.5 cubic feet which is standard for most fridges. If you need more capacity, you can buy an upgrade or add one later.
-Opening Mechanism:
The opening mechanism should be easy to operate without having to fumble with buttons or levers. A lot of times, overhead racks and baskets make it difficult to get at the food inside. Look for a model with a removable front panel so that you can easily access the food.
-Water and Ice Dispensers:
A water and ice dispenser is handy if you want to keep drinks and snacks cold without going inside the fridge. It’s also important to find one that has a long lifespan so that you don’t have to replace it often.
Factors Considered When Choosing a Replacement Kit
When replacing a refrigerator door bin, there are a few factors that need to be considered. These factors include the age of the refrigerator, the type of bin being replaced, and the brand of refrigerator.
Age is one of the most important factors to consider when replacing a door bin. The older a refrigerator is, the more likely it is that it will need a new bin replacement. Frigidaire recommends replacing door bins on refrigerators that are six or more years old.
Another important factor to consider when choosing a replacement kit for a refrigerator is the type of bin being replaced. There are two main types of bins used in fridges: walk-in and drawer.
Walk-in bins are larger and can typically hold more groceries than drawer bins. They are also easier to access since they open out from the side of the fridge instead of from the top.
If your refrigerator has a drawer bin, be sure to choose a kit that compatibilizes with your specific model. Not all replacement kits available for walk-in bins will work with drawer bins, so it’s important to check before buying.
Finally, make sure to get a replacement kit from the correct
