CSX22BCBBWH Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Remove front outside cover with the pictures on it. It is held in place with 5 push type pins. Remove the ice holder or turn off the power to keep the auger from running. Remove the four screws that hold the solenoid assembly and unplug the power plug. Remove the screw and small plate that holds the flapper assembly in place. Install the new flapper and spring and re-install the other parts. My flapper was loose in the holder causing the top of the flapper to hang on the hole in the ice outlet. I installed a small screw through the back of the holder to secure the flapper.

I blocked the bottom of the door(CAREFULLY!!) in position to elevate the door & take strain off the lower hinge & pivot post, while maintaining proper door alignment. I removed the two screws holding the hinge & post assembly from the frame, saving the screws & spacer for reuse. I removed the two screws holding the upper cam bracket on the door, again keeping the attaching parts. I installed and carefully aligned the new cam, original spacer & retaining plate to the lower edge of the door. I installed the new hinge & post assembly using the existing spacer & screws. I aligned the door & seal while checking the gap from top to bottom and from side to side. I carefully tighten the screws and rechecked the gap between the door & frame as well as the alignemnt of the door seal. Once satisfied with the alignment, I finished tightening the screws. I emphasize care and extreme caution in reinstalling the screws, they are a self-tapping (self-threading) type of fastener and this requires caution to make sure they are started and installed in the original threads of the door & frame. I put them all in using only finger pressure until I was positive they were started straight, going into the original threads, NOT trying to cross-thread or cut new threads, the structure is too thin for that and stripped threads will result! The door alignment and gap spacing is critical, make sure to check these adjustments carefully to ensure proper operation. Total time of repair, less than 15 minutes. I hope I have not over-simplified this because I have over 55 years of Automotive shop experienced and an ASE Certified Master Auto & Truck Technician...:-)

Thank you for the video on how to replace defrost timer. We watched the video twice and it went rather smoothly. Thanks for your help. The frig is working like a charm.

unscrew one screw unplug.insert the ice maker,put the screw back in you have ice less than ten minutes

Removed old slides and installed new slides.

Removed control panel by inserting small screwdriver in the 3 holes underneath to loosen. Remove 4 screws holding circuit board . Unplugged 3 connectors. Removing circuit board gave access to flapper. Removed flapper by unclipping. Installed new flapper and reversed disassembly procedure. This was 2nd time in 2 years I had to replace this part.

Ice maker was side mount instead of rear mount as shown in previous insructions. Removed one screw and slide ice maker forward. used flat head screw driver to undo the ice maker plug. The ice maker came right out. Removed old ice maker fill cup and put it on the new ice maker. Slide the new ice maker into place and used the same screw to secure it. Pluged it in and turned on the ice maker. Had new ice in a couple of hours. It comes with a round plug to square plug adapter, new fill cup and fill tube, all of which I didn't use.

Only needed to remove one screw, slide unit out and disconnect the power cord. Theb reverse the above operation to install the replace ice maker unit. Quick and extremely easy....

took 1 screw out and removed ice maker and slid new one in and replace screw and connected power cord

It was a tough job to replace the drawer slide rails at the bottom of the refrgerator on both the left and right sides. I had to get on the floor on my knees and stomach to get my head inside trying to see the work to be done. First the screws from the broken drawer slide rails had to be removed. The screws in the front part of the rails were a little easier than those in the middle. (Fortunately, there were none in the back.) The screws are hidden in cylindrical grooves and one can't get its head in far enough to see. The middle ones are extremely difficult when on your kneees and stomach. Using a trouble light inside helped a little. The screws in the middle were really tough especially inserting and starting the turning, both in loosening and tightening. Fortunately, I had long nose snips that allowed me to brarely grab the end of the Philips screws and gently insert them in the grooves. Then with luck in aligning the sacrews. I was able to start the tightening but had to use my left hand on the right side as there was no room for my right hand. The total job took a few hours of struggle but I finally finished the job and it was perfect. If I ever have to do it again, I'll know the procedure better. The completion of this task gave me great satisfaction. I think my description here is probably more than neeeded.

Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Undcrewed broken parts (2 screws each) and replaced with new parts and screwed them back in place,

I did a web search to trouble shoot my fridge's problem and I found PartSelect's site. There I found the answers to the problems I had, along with very useful videos for exactly what I needed, and how to fix my refrigerator. I reviewed the videos a couple of times and figured that even I could do what was shown, so I ordered the two sets of parts I decided I needed. I got the parts in 2 days (AMAZING), and for only about $7.50 shipping - WOW! While I was waiting on parts, I removed the freezer's internal back panel and put a fan in front of the open freezer section to thaw it out - it was solid ice, and it took about 20 hours to thaw. When the parts arrived, I followed the installation procedures exactly as shown in the videos, and everything went smoothly, and everything worked when I restarted the fridge. TWO THINGS TO REMEMBER: (1.) On the defrost timer, be sure and "reset" the internal clock before starting the unit... with a screw driver in the timer's slot, turn clockwise until you hear a heavy click, then slowly turn it for about 2 or 3 more clicks. (2) In the freezer compartment, be sure to put tape over the water drain hole to keep any dropped screws from entering the drain. EASY - PEASY! I sure wasn't ready to buy a new fridge, especially when these parts and shipping only cost about $90 and my labor only took about 20 minutes. Thanks PartSelect ! ! ! !

Removed everything from freezer, Removed back panel, defrosted coils. removed thermostat top left, cut wires and used heat shrink to splice back together, clipped thermostat back on. I actually replaced the defrost timer and defrost heater also. Best bet is to do all 3 at one time. Part Select will have the new parts to you in days. Great Service and the online repair man is great. I saved hundreds of dollars doing myself.

Follow PartSelect video on website, had no problems learned a lot
