CSK22GABKAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Remove the top cover above the door by lifting it slightly and pulling forward. I used a mirror to make sure that there was nothing in the way of accessing the switch from above. I used a blade screwdriver to press against the switch retainer on the topside, while GENTLY prying from below with another blade screwdriver to get the switch dislodged. Once the retainer was past the opening, I wiggled the switch downward and then rotated it to the left when the rounded top right edge of the switch was visible. This allowed the wiring to the connector to pass thru the hole. I pushed the wiring from the top and pulled from below to get the connector below the opening for the switch. I then unplugged the switch, plugged in the new switch and reversed the removal process feeding the connector thru first then rotating the switch to the right to get the rounded edge of the switch thru the opening, then pressed the switch up into the opening until it snapped into place. Total time less than 10 minutes.

Followed the video on the computer. Was fixed in no time. Works great.

Removed the slide by removing the two screws that held it; replaced the slide and that was it.

I replaced both lower hinges without removing the doors. First a couple of observations. The hinge kit consists of two parts; the lower part (bolted to the case) consists of an “L” bracket with a plastic cam, and the upper plastic cam (attached to the door). For some reason the upper cam is available as a separate part . If both cams are plastic both are worn out. Don’t bother ordering the individual cam. If one hinge is worn out the other probably isn’t far behind. Consider replacing both at the same time. Examine the door check. It is an inverted “T” shaped bracket bolted to the door that also holds the door cam. The crossbar of the T are metal tabs that check the door swing. Way too fragile IMO. On mine the refrigerator side was cracked and broke off when I removed it. Since the stops are the same right and left. I just swapped them when I replaced the hinges. Saved $22. Replacing the hinges without removing the doors. {Warning if this technique goes wrong you will be stuck with a loaded door you can’t open.} Remove the vent grill. Stack three 2x4’s along the bottom of both doors ( 26” is about right ). Shim the door(s) up to compensate for the cam wear. About 1/8”) Use a 5/16 socket to remove the hinge from the case. Pay attention to placement of the shims and spacers. Then remove the door cam and stop bracket. Install the new door cam. Leave the screws a little loose. Replace the lower hinge and tighten the screws. Do both sides. Then carefully remove the shims and 2x4’s. Finish tightening the door hinge screws. Check the door swing. I used this technique twice. One to replace the refrigerator side hinge, then again to replace the freezer side hinge and swap the door checks. There were no problems and I saved the hassle of unloading and removing the doors.

used on line video perfect instructions

EMPTIED SHELF , PULLED DRAWER OUT, REMOVED TWO SCREWS, PUT NEW RAIL IN PLACE, REPLACED TWO SCREWS, SHELF AND DRAWER - DONE

Two (2) screws...broken slide rail off - new slide rail on. I spent more time taking items out of the refrigerator and putting them back in than on the repair itself. Very easy.

I emptied all items from the above drawer shelf, removed the shelf and drawer, cleaned the area from previous spills, use a screw driver to remove the 2 screws holding the old slider in and replaced the slider. All parts fitted and it took around or less than 15 minutes.

Took out the drawer. Took out the shelf. Unscrewed two screws. Took out broken piece. Screwed in new piece. Replaced shelf and drawer. Done!

took a little more effort than the video show to remove old module and replace new. Works fine now.

I checked the exploded view of the door assembly and the box assembly and determined the parts needed to properly solve the problem. I guessed correctly that the lower cam on the hinge assembly should be replaced at the same time since they had to work together. It ended up I had just the right parts and all of the nut head fasteners were the same size so only one wrench was needed. The door did have to be removed by detaching the top hinge as well.

It was way to ez to install only a couple of minutes that's it

Easy job!

Really easy. I am the type that measures once and cuts twice! But this time even I could do it. The hardest thing for me was locating a phillips head screwdriver in the house. I ordered the correct parts, thanks to the diagram provided, and followed the easy directions. It went exactly as expected.

We took out the 2 screws, put the new slide rail on and were done in just a few minutes.
