CSX25GPCEAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

To find the problem, I operated the water dispenser in the door. Leak appeared at water inlet valve on rear of refrig. Went to "PartSelect", found the exact part and ordered it. It was simple to replace: 1) disconnect refrig power and remove the rear access panel. 2)remove the valve assembly bracket from refrig (1 screw) and pull out 3) unscrew the defective valve from bracket 4) disconnect 2 electric plugs from valve 5) turn off water at supply and unscrew the inlet water fitting to detach the inlet tube 6) cut the output water tube that comes out of the defective valve-- the old valve can now be discarded. Then, just push the cut end of the output water tube into the new valve until you feel it hit the stop, reattach the 2 electric plugs and the inlet water tube and tighten the fitting. Push assembly back into frig and reattach holding screw. Finally turn on water and check operation for no leaks and then reattach access panel.

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

Carefuly

Remove items from Freezer, remove panel and defrost condensor coils (most time consuming part of the job). Defrost Heater is held in with two screws and two electrical connectors (remove by hand or with pliers). It's worth replacing the Defrost theromostat and Defrost heater at the same time. Only cost $60 for the two parts and will ensure you have the fix. Use the "outdoor" wire nuts when splicing in the Defrost thermostat, that will ensure you don't have any issues with moisture at the splice. When defrosting the condensor coils, soak up water as the catch tray won't hold the volume of water that will melt off the coils.

Very easy, unscrew and re-screw new filter in..

Pulled the refrigator form the wall, removed lower back panel and found the inlet water supply valve was leaking from the housing.Got the refrig model # and went to GE parts on line. Parts select popped up entered model # and blowen up parts brake down should up. Picked the part I needed called customer service and three days later part arrived. In about 10 minutes the refrigator was back working.

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.

Removed rear panel, removed bolt holding valve assembly, pulled valve assembley toward rear to get access to screws to remove valve from assembly, removed electrical plugs and removed valveby it self. Had a little trouble removing line from valve. NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REMOVE PLASTIC LINE FROM VALVE, Twisted on line and pulled and line finaly came out. Pushed line into new valve, mounted valve to assembly and connected electrical connectors on. pushed assembly back in and installed holding bolt, added cover to back and all's well.

The parts purchased worked perfectly and your write-ups explained what the typical problems are with this water leak that was occurring with our GE refrigerator at the nylon water line for chilled water service. Your description highlighted exactly what the problem was and the parts that I needed to make the repairs. This saved me a plumbing service call. All I had to do was cut off the nylon hose beyond the cracked area, apply the water nylon tube union joining the two hose ends and tighten the coupling at the unit.

Thanks again,

Ice bucket and auger came fully assembled. Just had to attach the face plate from the broken ice bucket assembly and slide it into the freezer. There were only four Phillips screws involved.
