CSF22TBM Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Simply unscrewed the broken slide rail and reinstalled the new one. I called a local appliance repair and they never followed through on my request for help so I ordered the part through PartSelect. It was quick and easy. I got the correct part within a week.

Looked at the broken part in the manual and order the new piece. When the new piece arrived, I just removed the old one and installed the new one. Very easy to do.

1st: Order (2) closing cams! One for the hinge pin / bracket and one for the bottom of the door.
The closing cam on the door was where the Dremel type tool is required, since you have to grind the head off of a factory rivet.
I installed the cam with an aluminum pop rivet.
Next, remove the bracket on the bottom of the door ... Read more with sockets and install the second closing cam.
Re-attach the top door hinge pin and align visually; tighen all bolts. Job finished, but more important , my wife is not nagging me about the repair that I put off for over a year!!!!

Removed the top cover using a Phillips screw driver to access the top 2 screws holding the bracket. Once the bracket was removed, lifted the door off the bottom hinge. Replaced the door closing cam, replaced shims and screws. Placed the door back on the bottom hinge, inserted the top bracket and secured.
This was the ultimate reso ... Read more lution to the problem. The problem I encountered was getting all of the correct parts. It took me 3 tries to finally identify and receive the parts needed to make the repairs. Using Part Select made it easy because they had the parts I needed. My 3 tries were partly my error and does not reflect on Part Select. I would recommend others use Part Select when choosing their replacement parts.

removed broken shelf two screws - replaced with new shelf two screws

First I removed 2 screws that hold the slider, then replaced the slider and replaced the screws.

Removed the two existing screws and removed the broken drawer slide. Screwed the new, exact duplicate back into place. Less than five minutes to eliminate the six months of hassle I've put up with having the broken slide. So easy I'm embassed to even brag about fixing something.

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

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

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 i ... Read more ncludes 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!

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. ...

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

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.

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 sh ...
