CSC27HRAAD Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed the video, very simple

Watched the video supplied by manufacturer and followed the instructions. Very easy.

I watched the video on the partselect website once and completed the repair. Very easy!

when I got on your site I was able to find the part easily & your installation video was a big help. It fit perfectly & was very easy to install--it's working great!!!!!thank you so much

I watched the you tube video. Very easy! the part was easy to order came earlier that expected and was fixed in less than 5 minutes!

Unscrew 2 screws to remove broken part, screw in new.

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

First, depending on when you find out your problem, be prepared to toss out spoiled food. Unplug the unit. Since you must allow the ice build up on the coil to melt, be prepared for water. Use towels placed under the coil in the freezer to soak this up or it will end up on the floor. Remove ice maker bucket as the ice will melt, that is if there is any. In my case the defrost timer was bad but I later learned that my defrost heater was also bad. Do yourself a favor and change both the defrost timer and defrost heaters. This issue is generally an age issue so replacing both will give you peace of mind. Also, clean the whole freezer as this is the time to do it. You will be surprised at the ice maker bucket cleanliness. Time to prepare and clean is what takes additional time. Time to repair is short and simple. One last thing, when replacing the defrost timer try not to mess with the temp. control slides as you will have to put them back in the proper positions for reassembly of the cover.

Ordered part on line, arrived the next day. Looked at the screw (phillips head). Had trouble dropping screws but got our magnetic phillips head and it worked like a charm. So proud of myself as my husband did not have to do a thing.

Solenoid pushing the crushed ice flapper was burned out. Solenoid was easy to find unplug and replace. I used the old piston which simplified things. Now works great

Ordered this part after i replaced the plastic tubes on the back as the problem persisted. loosen the nuts holding the water inlet lines, remove the cover to the valve. remove the valve and the water inlet line to the the valve. Disconnect the 2 outlets from the valve. 1 outlet to icemaker and other outlet to water cooler (bigger). Connect water inlet and 2 outlets to the new valve, test the water lines. Found the inlet is leaking, removed it and added teflon tape and reconnect it. All is done. Then I left the freezer door open for 3 hours to melt the ice on the wrong places and all is well.

I first replaced the ice bucket which allowed the auger to turn but did not fix the problem. I then ordered a new solenoid and plunger and after installing them it now makes ice cubes. Problem solved.

Fairly easy I pull the fridge foward and remove the backing board and notice the fan wasn't working, so I remove the fan and bench tested and it was burned then I clean the condenser with compress air if you don't have air then a vacuum cleaner works then once the part arrived I install it the now if working very good

1. Turn water supply off at wall. Unpulg referigerator. Remove all cardboard backing covering valve. Vaccum under ref. Unscrew water line where it attaches to valve on ref. (Reuse this later) unplug 4 electrical prongs. Mark with colored pen if not already color coded, so can put back correctly. Pull old ice maker and ref water supply out of valve if it does not screw in with nut. Cut very short peice off end of ref water lines. Slide new locks on water supply lines and push into water valve very hard to lock. Cant get them wrong as they are different sizes. Plug in electrical connectors same as you unpluged them. Connect water line to valve from wall. Turn water on and check for leaks. If none. Replace all screws on backing. Recheck for water on floor. If none congrads, just saved yourself about $120. 00 Labor. Take 2 asprin, drink a six pack and go to bed.

I had to defrost large chunks of ice from the rear of the freezer compartment and tried reactivating the ice maker several times before deciding to order the replacement fill tube grommet and clamp. This was very stressful and complicated to accomplish while trying to avoid food spoilage, and consumed a lot of time. It involved removing the ice maker and various panels, plus disconnection of 2 electrical plugs, then using a hair dryer to melt ice build up. The installation of the new parts was quick and simple once they arrived in the mail, and this appears to have solved the leak problem. The fill tube slides easily into the grommet and the clamp, tightened with a screw driver, secures the water feed line on the other end. Fill tube must be carefully threaded through rear panels and into the ice maker receptacle and the grommet needs to be pushed hard and wiggled in order to seat properly in the rear surface of the refrigerator.
