CSM26MRDAWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

I watched the video and did the job as instructed. It was very easy and worked as expected. The video was the key.

I followed the instructions to the letter and it was very simple replacement even down to cleaning out the dust & dirt. The water dispenser works just fine now- Thanks for the tips

I found the drawer slide rail for the left side and ordered it. It was delivered in a couple of days and it was fixed in 3 minutes. Partselect provided the best customer service we have ever received. Great Job! Thank you so much!

Removal of old part was very easy. However, there had been some new changes to the new valve. The prongs on the dispenser solenoid are narrower than the original so the push on connector would not grasp the prong and kept falling off. I finally was able to squash and crimp the pushon enough to make it stay on . Also, the waterline connection was changed from a compression nut with flared tubing end to a much easier cap nut and copper compression ring. This required a trip to the hardware store to buy the cap nut and ring and also required cutting the tubing above the flared end to remove the compression nut. Once this was done, the reassembly was simple. The required time would have been about 20 minutes if I didn't have to go to the store and redisassemble three times to reconnect the water supply solenoid push on..

I removed the old valve assembly from the refrigerator's cabinet with a nut driver. I then pushed the lines for the water dispenser and ice maker into the valve and attached it to the cabinet. After connecting the water supply we had ice and water.

Observing the ice maker itself was working, and that water was flowing to the dual inlet water valve, I assumed the problem must be a faulty outflow valve. If either of the two valves do not close completely, the water slowly accumulates in the plastic line and freezes as it enters the freezer compartment. A solid plug of ice will form in the line, either causing no water to enter the ice tray, or it may leak under pressure when the valve opens briefly (as was my case). The solution was simple: change the dual inlet valve, and while this took me approximately 15 minutes to 1)turn off electricity and water to the frig, and 2)replace the part, the plastic tube going to the ice tray warmed up enough as I watched a one inch plug of ice exit the tubing. Once the power and water was turned on, and I checked for leaks, the ice maker worked like new! Not bad for a $30 fix.

Removed ice select control unite from freezer by removing 3 nut screws holding unite in place. Disconnect 2 electrial plug ins.Remove unite from freezer and place on table for easy work space. Remove 4 nut screws holding Solenoid & Arm. Replace with new Solenoid & Arm. Reinstall back in freezer and now we have cube ice again.

Shut off water & elect to refg. moved refg out from wall. Removed back cover. disconnected water & electric connections. Removed old valve and installed new one . Plastic tube fit in same place elect pins (4) snapped in place. Used teflon tape when connecting copper plumbing to stop leaks. Also cut old tubing & replaced copper 1/4" compression ring. Note I ordered part before noon on thursday, part arrived fri AM 9:00 FedEx.reg service. cleaned up mess picked up tools. Refg worked like new. saved money on service call. Thanks

Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the bottom panel the locate the valve on the left side of the refrigerator. Remove the valve. Unplug the two electrical connecters, then remove the two water lines. (At this point there will be a little water escape). Then replace the lines in the new valve, replace the electrical plugs and reassemble the bottom panel.

I simple followed the video shown at part select web site. A piece of cake. accurate info. repair complete in 45 minutes. thank you part select

followed the previous posts, loosened four screws on the front panel, attached panel to new auger and ice bucket, and was good to go. Excellent advice!

Removed drawer cover, removed both drawers, unscrewed broken part, installed the new one, put drawers and cover back.

Repair was easy. All working now.

watched a 2 minute video on installing the connector. Then using the utlity blade cut out a 1/3" section of the tubing and installed the connector. DONE! Leak fixed

I followed the video instructions. They were clear and consise. I removed the trim ring and controls. Them removed the housing and flapper. I did notice a small burr in the plastic chute and foam insulation. I trimmed this off with a utility in hopes this burr caused the flapper to warp. This is the 2nd time the flapper has been replaced in 1.5 yrs. The repair was really easy thanks to the video.
