CSM25MRCGWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

the pad is a slip in I just used grease to allow for the friction and had it in with in a minute

Followed the u tube video that was on the Part select website. Very easy install when following the video.

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.

Removed frame, unscrewed the electrical panel, and popped the flapper off. Installed new flapper. Replaced the electrical panel and re-installed the frame.

I am very impressed with the information on your website with drawings of my refrigerator and parts needed to fix it. To replace the heater I turned the power to the refrigerator off, removed the panel which covers the cooling coils and heater. To replace the heater I removed two screws which hold the bracket assembly and unplugged the AC power leads to the heater. The old heater had totally failed. The refrigerator is now working normally again. Thanks so much for your great support. I ordered the heater on a Thursday afternoon and received the new heater and bracket assembly the next day. The price was also very reasonable.

Removed the ice maker control panel and accessed the flapper door, easy switch out for new door and seal. The 2 year old warped seal didn't close and so ice crystals formed in the freezer - new unwarped part and Ta-Da no more problems :)

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.

Unplug the unit. Remove the food from the freezer. The following three items must be removed to access the panel in the back of the freezer. 1. Remove the shelves below the ice maker. 2. Lift up the plastic shield over the light to remove and then 3. Unscrew the light bulb. Using the 1/4 in nutdriver, remove the two hex screws at the top of the panel. Carefully slide it up and out past the shelf brackets. Below the cooling coils, identify the defrost heater. Using the phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws, one on the left and one on the right. Carefully manipulate the heater to pull down and remove the slip-on electrical connections at either end. Reversing the procedure, install the new defrost heater slipping on each of the electrical connections and then screwing in the two screws. Be sure to position the wires they were originally to avoid interference when reinstalling the panel. Slip the panel in place behind the shelf brackets and align the holes. Insert and tighten the hex screws. Screw in the lightbulb and replace the plastic light cover. Replace the shelves. Return your food and plug the unit back in. Done!

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.

Popped off the front frame and front of mother board. unscrewed the assembly to be able to lift up to get to flapper. Lifted it up out of the the way ( wires are attached so it may take one other person to hold it up out of the way). Pop out the old flapper and replace with new one. Easy !

Repair went exactly like the video. With this video it was easy to make the repair. There were no surprises or problems and I felt confident in the videos instructions. It was like pushing the easy button.

Did the repair jut like the instructions on the web site stated. There was a good video for doing this repair. Looked at it a couple of times and did the repair right off the bat. Thanks folks.
