CSF20EBD Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed step-by-step instructions in previous post. Note that there are TWO approaches, both of which work.

Option 1) Order TWO cams (PS297995), drill out the rivet holding the frame's cam, and replace it with a nut and bolt. (See post on 07/19/09.)

Option 2) Order the entire hinge assembly (PS290199), which includes the door's cam and an assembled frame hinge and cam. (See post on 10/29/08.)

We opted for Option 1 which was pretty easy. Option 2 would be even easier and take less time but costs about $9 more.

Thanks to previous posters for excellent instructions!

Removed two screws on each slide rail and used the same two screws to install new rails. The job took only a few minutes. The best part was the promptness of the delivery. I ordered the parts at 12P on Thurs and had them on my porch at 10A on Fri. Thanks Gary

Buy ( 2 ) cams !!!! removed hinge cover and hinge on top of the door, ( 2 screws )...lift door off of the bottom hinge and lay door on the floor, remove broken cam on bottom of door with nut driver, ( 2 screws ) , install new cam..... remove the bottom hinge off of the front of the refrigerator with nut driver, (2 screws ).... saw rivit off and remove old cam, install new cam and secure with new bolt and nut,... reinstall hinge back on bottom front of refigerator.....replace door back onto the bottom hinge.....install top hinge back onto the top of the door....replace hinge cover......done !

We taped the door with 3 pieces of duct tape, then put boards under it. Used socket set to remove cam and then cut off rivet so we could just use a screw to keep in place. . . Just for your information, I ordered 2 cams, and was glad I did as I need 2 to make the repair. . . Didn't read about this online or on order recommendation. The cams go 1 up and 1 down thanks for the installation repair stories, it inspired us to "do it ourselves " and we saved about $75 to $100. 00

I watched the video on the webpage and did as he did. it was quick and easy. didn't realize the importance of this little part until it broke

Ther was a video on how to repalce this part on your web site. Describing what tools were needed saved me running back and forth to my tool box. I followed the directions given in the video and repair was completed in 1/2 hour. That included meremoving then cleaning and replacing the sheves in the door. And by the way, the part was shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived on my doorstep noon the following day.

According to instructions, removed screws from broken side rails, installed new slide rails. The woman that helped with the order over the phone was VERY helpful in determining the correct parts.

Took the hinge of the top and lifted door of the bottom. Replaced cams and reinstalled

1. Watched the video on how to make the repair. 2. Used the tools recommended. 3. Followed easy instructions as demonstrated on video, and Viola! It was repaired.

the door closing cam works fine.

My wife removed the drawer and the glass shelf. Unscrewed the broken rail and screwed in the new one. Replaced the glass shelf and the drawer and she was done.

Removed food from shelf, removed shelf, removed slide. installed new slide. Perfect fit

This is the third time I have used parts select to fix an appliance. I have saved thousands now in replacement costs and certainly hundreds in repair costs. They had exactly what I needed and the online diagrams made it easy to identify the parts I needed and install them too.

Took out the broken one and replaced it with the new one.

I ordered a cam riser for the refrigerator door. I watched the "how to" video the day I ordered the part. It took about a week to get the part, but I was ready when it arrived. The 'how to' video was a big help. It showed me how to take off the door and replace the part. The process was quite simple! Oh! Don't forget to turn the refrigerator on again!
