CSX25GRYAAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Snapped off the plastic plate covering the dispenser. Removed the four screws holding the mechanism in place. Remove the electrical connections. Pull the mechanism out and up carefully pulling the dispenser pad out with all the mechanism in place. Look at the mechanism before removing any parts to get a mental image so that reassembly will be easy. Remove any electrical switch or circuit boards and remove old parts before submerging the mechanism in hot soapy water for clean-up. The Clean-up will take longer than the disassemble and reassembling. After completion the dispenser works as it should.

Followed the video demo and would have been done sooner but for limited work space- narrow freezer compartment and the release tabs on the electrical plug. First home repair that the air was not blue and got done in under time allocated.

Pulled out old actuator pad worked the control for several minutes to free up the mechanism to make sure water would turn off. Then installed the new actuator pad.

Seemed simple and intuitive B U T the water tube receiver fooled me. Seemed to be on backwards. So, like my wife suggested, I D I D then read the installation instructions. Yeah! It's amazing what you can do when you just RTI. :-0

Removed door with little or no difficulty. Only time consuming portion of repair was disconnection and reconnecting of water line to door. This difficulty was primary due to age of the unit. After repairing, I determined that the cam on the refrigerator was also damaged so ordered same part to replace the refrigerator side.

Got a new valve

Connected the 2 wires and pushed in the switch until it clicked.

This was a Mother/Daughter feat. We viewed the video based on the bottom hinge assembly part that we had ordered. We did it exactly as shown and it was so easy. But while we had the door off we also had a chance to really clean the frigerator inside out. We were extremely happy that we were able to repair the frigerator oursleves and how much money we had saved by doing it. Thanks

Removed the bucket assembly from the freezer. Remove the four screws holding the front cover on the bucket. They are on the backside of the front cover. Installed the old front cover on the new ice bucket with the four screws.

I followed the video available on the Part Select website. I was very easy. Thank you.

Since Parts Select was unable to cross reference to another part I myself checked out all other web sights and did my own cross reference. I found a matching compatable ice bucket number and bought that ice bucket from part select I got it quickly and put it in.

I replaced the cam. The video was really helpful telling me the steps and the tools that would be needed ahead of time. Took about 5 minutes because of the video vs It would have taken me 30 - 40 minutes if I didn't.

Removed the door, removed old hinge, aligned the new one. Replaced door, then adjusted the door so that it lined up correctly and had same size gape top and bottom between the double doors. Tightened up all bolts and screws and made sure door opened and closed properly. Watched the video that was available to show how to replace hinge correctly. This helped a lot.

Followed on line instructions. No problems.

Remove the valve unit, cut the plastic water lines with the utility knife,unscrew the water feed. remove the unit. reasemble the new unit,install the water feed, connect by puching in the ice maker line and the water despencer line into the new unit.Plug the refrig back in and purge the water line.
