CSK27PFTCWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

The stop was bent and no longer stopped the door. However, by being bent, it interfered with removing one of the two hex head screws that held the stop in place. After taking pliers to break the bent portion off, the screws were easily removed with an 8 mm hex head ratchet wrench. Once the damaged (bent) stop was removed, the replacement was simple.

After contemplating for months on replacing my GE side-by-side refrigerator and realizing the only reason I wanted to is because the door handles were disgusting, I found this site and decided to try to replace them first. After reading other instructions shared, it was a relatively simple fix. You'll need a flathead screwdriver to pop off the trim and a torque screwdriver to remove and reinstall the handle screws. That's it. Looks great! Wish I would have done this sooner as it would have saved me a lot of worry time. The cost of replacing my refrigerator is a nice perk, too!

SNAPPED THE NEW SHIELD IN PLACE. DONE!

The repair was fairly easy and took about one hour all together. I replaced the defrost heater with thermostat and the defrost timer. If you are having the same problem with ice build up don't forget to use a blow dryer to melt all of the ice for an easier replacement of the defrost heaters with thermostat. Make sure that you melt all of the ice in the drip pan below the heaters. You must also make sure that the drain hole in the middle of the drip pan is totally defrosted and you should blow air through the drain hole with a compressor to make sure that there is no blockage in that line that goes under the refrigerator and into a drain pan where it will evaporate by means of the compressor fan. If this line is not cleared, even after you replaced the broken heaters, the ice will return as the water has no place to drain.

The gasket I received was stated to supposedly fit my refrigerator, and the box even had printed on it that the gasket was magnetic. However, after going through the difficult process of removing the old one and installing the gasket that was sent me, I discovered that the new gasket WAS NOT MAGNETIC, and would not keep the freezer door closed. I repaired the cracked area on the old gasket and reinstalled it on my refrigerator. When I called Part Select to return the defective part, I was given every excuse in the book, including that the gaskets aren't made with magnets any more, even though the box stated it WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAGNETIC......just like I was supposed to GET RETURN INFORMATION BY EMAIL that I have never gotten, and my emails are ignored as far as returning it. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN....

took the old off and replaced with new one very simple . new snapped into place

The internal water line was leaking. I could not find any repair parts for my refrigerator but the GE 5/16 water line was the same size. I purchased 6' of tubing and two unions. Make sure the clean and square. If possible, make the cuts in a spot where you can use the pliers and wrench to tighten the union. I cut approximately 2' out of the existing line and replaced it with the same length of new line using the 2 unions, one on each end. Took about 5 minutes.

The only difficult part was not knowing which parts had to be removed to gain access to the flapper to replace it. It appeared as if the frame around the control panel would have to be removed as well as the door handle; we tried but were not able to remove the frame. It turned out that the panel just popped out with the frame in place. Once we had access to the flapper, it was easy to replace it. The repair fixed the problem.

Replaced broken parts. The ordered parts were received in record time after placing the oreder.

replacing the lines was easy, problem was the drawing on line and the parts list did not show two different size tubing used. had to run out for the 5/16 inche tubing for the water dispenser in the door. got the 1/4 inch tube done in 5 minutes.

put the gratefruit knife behind the old switch pooped it out pluged the new one in piece of cake 5min.even vacumed the dust off the coil

I removed the ice maker,removed the broken piece of the old light shield,screwed the new light shield in place,and replaced the ice maker.It took all of 5 minutes.

Replaced flapper valve per website instructions. GE factory technician took two weeks to get here, charged over $100 for the call and told us we needed a new refrigerator door at a cost of over $500 to fix the problem. We sent him packing. After visiting the PartSelect website, the $5.88 PartSelect flapper valve fixed the problem. Amazing.

Removed the door and installed the cam riser on the bottom of the door.

The light shield is only held in with a single screw, so it was the simplest install ever - unscrew the old light shield (in my case, the remaining piece of the light shield), put the new shield in place, and screw it down. Doesn't get any easier than that.
