CSM26MRDAWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Watched the PartSelect video. Very simple and solved the problem. Very pleased with the repair and PartSelect.

I followed the link to the how-to video that was provided on the parts-page, watched it and then followed the recommended steps. It couldn't have been easier -- and I'm not a "handyman." Thanks to PartSelect, I was able to diagnose the problem, find the part that was needed and figure out how to install it. I'm a grateful customer.

Watched the video from your site and followed instructions, extremely easy after that.

We have cut the broken part and using union connector we connected it back to the original tubing on one side and to the connector at the bottom. It was easily done with great help from the video on file at the site. Keep up a great work PartsSelect !

Located the split in original tubing - only visible when the water dispenser is activated. Using a razor blade knife, cut the tubing 4 to 6 inches on each side of the split. Remove the bad pieceof tubing and use as a length guide to mark the new 5/16 tubing. Install a 5/16 union connector on each end of the new tubing, careful not to overtighten the plastic union hex nuts. Place the new tubing with unions where the bad tubing was, tighten the union hex nuts, and bingo you're done. Left mine setting out for a day to watch for leaks. Took longer to get the two wrenches and pull the fridge out than it did to repair the tubing. This is the only place I found 5/16 unions and tubing in short lengths. Thanks

I followed the repair video Partselect provided online. It the repair easy and fast. Great video!!!!

I replaced both bottom hinges on my GE refrigerator. The hint that they were worn out was that both the freezer door and fresh food door would not close completely. You had to lift the door on the hinge to get it to close. Many of the GE service repair people recommend complete removal of each door to replace the bottom hinge. I found I could use a couple of wood blocks tall enough to take the weight of the door, jacking it up off of the hinge so could loosen the hex head screws. The freezer door hinge took a few minutes longer because the water supply line for the icemaker which is routed through the tube in the hinge. Overall, an easy repair and the cost of two repair visits was saved.

Others have described how to do this repair better. I will simply add - if you're cutting the line inside the fridge to repair/replace be sure to check as their are two (2) clear 5/16th lines. Once goes from the solenoid to the tank inside the fridge and another from the tank up to the filter. They're identical and side by side. Remove the drawers and foam covering the one line to make sure you cut the right one...otherwise you will be ordering a 2nd water tube union like I did.

Wathched the video and it was done in less than 15 min making ice again no problem

It was too simple. I follwed the instruction already on the webb site. 3 easy steps.

bought new left rail removed old one with a screw driver and replaced with the new one

I had a frig several years ago do the same thing -- freezer coils icing up and temperature warm. I had watched the repairman come in and take the back off the freezer and install some part, I knew not what. So I got on YouTube and four this website with instructions and directions of how the put the part in and which part it was. I am good at trouble shooting and was very comfortable after watching the video of what to order. I ordered the part. The instructions were clear. After the coils had thawed, it took less than 30 minutes to install the new part. I installed a Defrost Heater. My refrigerator has worked ever since. I am not a mechanic nor a fixer upper. I am a 60 year old female school teacher.

Determined with ohm meter that the defrost heater was defective (open). Thermostat also was defective per ohm/volt test. Replacement of the heater/thermostat assembly was very simple. Remove two screws and I think two 1/4" that secured the panel. Unplug the harness and I think four more screws securing the harness assembly. Remove harness and install the new harness. Route wiring as the old harness and secure with removed screws. Plug back in and reinstall panel. Work great once again.

Removed the top hinge of the right-hand door, removed the door, replaced the cam riser on the bottom of the door, then replaced the door and top hinge. Simple and easy.

Went to GE website and researched the problem for the model, determined that it was 90% sure it was the Ice maker, I ordered it and it arrived the next day, installed it and it began working immediately,
