CST25GRZBWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

removed 2 screws from broken slide, then I positioned the new slide in place and using original screws secured slide to wall of frig.

remove 3 bucket screws. 1 bracket screw slide bucket back insert drive reverseb steps

I ordered the part and it was replaced. I always worry that I will get the wrong part or it will not fit. The on-line help with the model number gave me the right part, and this was an easy repair. Gusessing that I saved over $100 from needing to call a repair service!

I removed all the items off the shelves of the door. I then removed the top assembly,Then lifted the door off the the bottom hinge and laid it on a flat surface. I then removed and replaced the cam connector on the bottom of the door. I then removed and replaced the cam from the lower right side of the refrigerator. I put the door on the cam without assistance , then reassembled the top assembly. The refrigerator door operated immediately just like it did when it was new over 20 years ago.

It was exactly as shown in your instruction video

I did exactly as the video instructed. Removed the top hinge bracket. Removed the door. Replaced the parts on both the door and the freezer, taking care to save and re-install the shims. I put the door back in place and installed the top hinge. I also lubed the hinge pins with very light grease. The door now works perfectly.
