Check out YouTube for video instructions. A putty knife will loosen the liner and the interior frame granting access to the door screws.

Wow - I would say "send it back" - it sounds like there is a quality control issue here. My door fits perfectly. They may be able to just send a new door, but maybe the fridge body posts are set wrong, so I would request an entire new fridge - body and door.

No, this part will not fit. You need part #: 316207511. Something like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-316207511-Control-Board/dp/B00E0CVZQC/ref=sr_1_1?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1426000647&sr=1-1&keywords=316207511

Here is what you need to do: Look inside your fridge - there should be a sticker with the model#. Go to Sears website (they have diagrams of each compartment of the fridge with pictures of each individual part and the corresponding model#): http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Frigidaire-Parts/Refrigerator-Parts/ After you find the model# for the SPECIFIC shelf that needs replacing, you paste that info into Amazon search and VIOLA! I've broken and replaced two shelves in my 2 year old frigidaire already and another has a crack forming... I'll definitely think twice about which brand I go with when I purchase my next one! Hope this helps!

I asked someone who bought one also, I lost mine to Sandy when it came through my apt! They said it is right where the meter is and she said u need screw driver to get it open to replace. Hope that is helpful, best I can do, good luck!

What u do is remove the clips that are by the handle..... Then un screw it with a Phillips screwdriver..... Then put the new one on the same way u took it off...... Easy..... It will take u 15 min

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

Sorry Francina, but I agree with Blake and Bill. I took mine apart and spent hours trying to get the Jeannie back in the bottle, and I'm pretty handy and persistent. Finally gave up, and wrote to FrontGate (the catalogue I bought it from) and they simply replace it. It's the type of repair that you need five hands for (and little hands at that) to hold everything together to get to fit back in the casing. I saved the hose, but recycled everything else. Good luck (HJGoetze@aol.com)

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

i have not this problem, the door instructions were very confusing and actually had to redo what we thought was right. Maybe look into how it was assembled.

My handle was completely broken. If you have to pull the handle a few times prior to opening, is it due to the door being locked? My back latch had to be unlocked several times prior to me finally getting it to open up. Then, shortly after, it stopped working and I had to replace it. Not sure if it's possible to do any kind of tightening on it. For me, this part was a pain to change, and if you're going to open it up and tighten it, might as well change it out. I didn't answer your question, because I don't know the answer, but I hope you can fix it. Good luck.

it would take a long time for me to write all the instructions needed to install all these pieces. it would be best to just search u tube for how to change a(insert the part you want to install) on a frigidaire dryer. there should be plenty of video there.

Check on youtube, that's what I did, and it worked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIdT4kS3noY The procedure of replacing the door handle is very easy to do, it took me less than five minutes.

My door did not come attatched and i'm trying to remember what I did because I had the same problem. I'm pretty sure there was a small black piece That came witht the fridge that use to close that gap. I put mine together a while ago I can barely rememebr. Sorry. But look for a washer looking piece (i think)

I suggest you pop the handle out. its really easy just remove the screw and they come out. in the rear of the handle there is a spring attached to plastic retainer and the plastic loop that attaches to the door metal bar mechanism. 95% certain that the plastic part is broken ,most of the times it is. if you need to replace them you will NOT need other parts.
