CSX19LABAWH Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

All thumbs, not handy and lacked confidence to even try to fix even simple problems. First, panicked! Next went to U-Tube and imputed Model number of Refrigerator and searched "freezer cold, refrigerator warm." Next, found U-Tube video which showed me how to diagnose, remedy and fix the problem. Determined the problem,and was directed by U-Tube to PartSelect. Searched part name and cost. Compared cost of parts with other part suppliers. Waited about a week to ensure my diagnosis was accurate, then ordered the part. Part came in about 3 days, went back to video instructions from U-Tube, opened area, took pictures and then replaced part. Since then the Refrigerator has worked perfect, let's hope it continues to work well, after this post. New found confidence and belief in my "Handy-Man" ability.

Followed instructions that came with time, also viewed the video of website.

Turned the appliance off, take the back panel off, defrosted the coils. Put a cork in the drain hole and a towel to soak up the water. Four screws take the heaters off, pull the thermostat from the top coil. Unplug the wire at the top. Install the new heaters, clip the thermostat on the top coil, route the wires around the side, plug in the heaters. Put the panel back on with four screws, turn the appliance back on. You may need to empty the ice container because it will thaw some and freeze back solid. Most of the time spent defrosting the coils

Followed easy video instructions. Loosened the necessary bolts, etc. Replaced hinge assembly, lined up door, lubed the hinge with vasoline. Works perfectly now. May purchase another assembly as spare as it appears this may be a common repair issue.

did it just as the video showed. it was a little different, but absolutely nothing that we as ametures could not figure out! very easy and I think it was just the part we needed! biggest thing was unloading refrigerator!

I followed your terrific video. I first got all tools ready, covered a table in cardboard, and removed food from the fridge door. I removed the cap and screws on top of the door hinge. Lifting the door off was simple, and after laying the door on the table, the retaining screw was easily loosened, and the cam screw removed. The only problem was that half the thin gasket under the broken cam was missing. No new gasket came with the part. I wanted the new cam to lay flat, so I made a partial gasket from a matchbook cover and filled the gap. It all went back together quickly. Just have tools ready beforehand. Ten minute job, unless you have to make a new gasket or part of one. Thanks, guys.

1. Watched the video on how to make the repair. 2. Used the tools recommended. 3. Followed easy instructions as demonstrated on video, and Viola! It was repaired.

I watched the "How To" video on the Parts Select web site twice. The video was very helpful, kind of like having someone right there with you showing you how to replace the hinge. I emptyed the door shelves, removed the top hinge hexscrews and easily lifted the door off the lower hinge, pieces of the broken cam hinge on the door fell off. I set the door on the floor in front of the sink with the handle edge on the floor. I unbolted the hinge and installed the new one. I loosened one screw on the door cam hinge and removed the other, easily replacing the broken part. Before tightening the screws I checked to make sure the hinge hole in the door was not blocked by the new cam hinge. I lifted the door and water ran out from somewhere. I tried to set the door on the lower hinge several times with no luck. I rechecked the hole, it was still clear. I tried placing the door on the refrigerator using the seal to hold it in place, that worked but I couldn't get the door to drop down onto the hinge. I played with it some more and finally got it in place, reinstalled the top hinge, mopped up the water and tried the door. It didn't self close. I adjusted the top hinge a couple of times and applied a little silicone to the hinges, it still didn't self close. I told my wife to make sure the door closes completely and reloaded the stuff into door. After a couple of days it now closes by itself like it's supposed to. In retrospect, I was alone doing the replacement and it really was an easy job but a second person to help line up the lower hinge would have helped a lot.

I found a replacement evaporator fan motor and 2 mounting bracket grommets at PartSelect.com at a reasonable price. I watched the installation video provided and installed the new parts as shown in the video start to finish installation time 22 minutes.i

I watched the repair video. Replaced the cam on the bottom of the door and the hinge pin. Now the door closes on its own, just like brand new.

unload freezer, take off back panel, be sure to unplug power, cut off wires to heater, strip wires and use wire nuts to install new heater and put freezer back together!

there was sa lot of ice stick on back pannal of freezer after 4-5 days switch off fridge 24 hours so the temp going up. I ordered part select o my god their service Is great I order timer and defrost heater with thermostat install very easy now since 6 days working perfect save more than 200 dollors thanks part select keep it up. tips-- open four secrews in back pannal of freezer two wires plug out heater will be come out if that is looks burn the change that otherwise timer defected

about every 5 to 7 days I had to take freezer panel off and take a hair dryer to get the ice out or fridge would get warm. Thanks to finding this sight and a little reading I replace the Defrost heater Harness which came with two Heaters and a Defrost thermostat. GE wanted $87 just to come out- Service Charge. Got part here for $54. There are two screws at top of freezer panel and two at bottom of panel. Removed and took hair dryer to get ice out -about 15 minutes. Replace heater harness. two screws on bottom heater and two screws on top heater. Wiring harness was already prewired. just had to take out the old one and put the new one in . Took about 5 minutes to put the two heaters in place, put screws back in and plug harness back up at top of evaporator. Very easy. put panel back on and done. Works great again. Found out one of the heaters was burn out -the bottom. Could have just got the bottom heater but would had to cut and splice wires. The wiring harness came all together. Thanks -PartSelect for the info.

View this helpful video provided by PartSelect. Watch in entirety and especially note the instruction to turn the frost timer's dial before returning the unit to the fridge, mentioned at 03:30 in the video.

Removed top hinge, lifted door from bottom post. Removed post with nut driver/socket, removed corresponding bracket/receiver from door. Attached new parts to refrigerator base and bottom edge of door. Was careful to replace part pieces in the same order as original, and secured tightly. Lifted door onto bottom hinge post, leveled the door and replaced top hinge.
