CSX22GRBKAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

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 followed the directions on the video. Although my dispenser was a little different, I was able to get to the faulty door in less than five minutes.

I followed the instructions on the video presentation, stopping the video each time until I had completed the described step. Only one minor change from the video...my refrigerator door (stainless steel) does not have the plastic edging around the control panel as shown in the video. It took me a minute or two to figure out that I had to push the tabs on the bottom of the control panel. The rest was easy.

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!

I followed the video instructions (very helpful) and used others comments for removing the control panel. For the latter I used a small allen wrench to carefully wedge the bottom two indents (look from below panel edge) slightly up and forward to release the panel. Next, after removing the four screws, the assembly (housing shield) removed fairly easily. I then had full access to the flapper and removed this carefully with the pliers so as not to damage the piece it was attached to (Dispenser Door Recess Crank?). The rubber outer flange on the otherwise plastic flapper was very irregular for approx. 1/4 of the circumference and thus did not seal. So far it's been one week and no more frost build up or frozen water dispenser line.

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.

First changed out the chilled water bottle in the back of the refrigerator compartment. Fully intended to splice the plastic tubes but couldn't find connectors. Was easy though to re-thread the tubes to the freezer door and valve in back of refrigerator. Replaced the frost sensor and timer first. Then I realized it was the heater that needed to replaced. Heater unit comes with defrost sensor so it was a little sacrifice to get get the fridge up and running. Got the parts from you in two days!! Faster than your estimate. Very happy with that! Over all I was pleased with your fast service AND the instruction videos. Really wish I had found your web site before I wasted time on the SearsParts.com web site. Thanks. I will seek you out again should the need arise.

The Ice flapper was warped therefore, it was not closing well. Because of this, the ice dispenser got air in it and the ice cubes would deice causing to make a chunk of ice inside.I went on line, order the part ($5.75 + tax= $12.00) checked Part Select video and did it myself. It really is as seen on the video. It took me less than 10 minutes! I saved $200.00

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.

We followed the directions that was on this website. It was easy! We were happy because the refrigerator works now and we didn't have to pay for someone to come out and fix it! The part that we replaced was moldy and old. No wonder it wasn't working. Thanks so much Part Select!

I took out the old singe defrost heater using screw drivers and replaced it with the new double defrost heater.

i watched the free video and then made the switch my ice screw had 4 bolts instead of three that was the only difference used the screw driver to loosen the straps on the connection plug and that was it easy as pie in about 30 minutes i heard it drop a load of ice it beats filling ice trays all the time thank you partselect for the free video it was the difference in my sucess

I followed the Video on your website and that made it so easy and simple to follow. Thank you!
