CSX22BCBGWH Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

I turned off the power and water supply to the refrigerator Pulled fridge out,found leak at water valve. Removed valve,got on internet found partsselect and was able to match it up by model and picture. It was a lot easier than I expected it to be, thanks to the pictures. I ordered the part on Sunday night and got it Tuesday. Unbelievable. Put it in in about 10 minutes and drinking cold water with ice cubes again. The fridge wasnt down long enough to acually run out of ice. the fridge is 12 years old and keeping its maintenance low is a priority. If I had to hire a repair service we would probably thought seriously about replacing it.

Paid a repair guy $260 in November 2011 to do the same job. He must have felt gulity because he left me with the GE info that gave the part number and the repair instructions. When the same problem as 2011 appeared early in 2012 I did a google search using the part number. A lot of hits, PartsSelect was at the top of the list. When I saw the price of the part with delivery was less than 40 bucks I was ready to give it a shot. THEN I watched the how-to video on the PartsSelect page and there was no question I had to give it a shot. Ordered the part on Saturday, shipped on Monday, got it Tuesday. The install was exactly like the video. Four screws, two wires. put the four screws back in. Done. Shameful GE quality having to replace the same part under 2 years. Terrific value AND service from PartsSelect. I hope GE doesn't find out!

Followed directions in your video. Very helpful. Be certain to pay strict attention to how old part is removed. Had a little trouble replacing door on lower pin/hinge. Helps to have a little assistance. Good suggestion from another customer: get the kit.

Removal was easy. The problem was that the old hinge had screws approximately 3/4 inch apart. The new hinge assembly had screws 1 inch apart. The threaded backing plate matched the 3/4 inch spaced old hinge but would not line up with the new one. There was a hole in the refrigerator frame but no way to hold the screw from the back. I had to fine a bolt and nut that would fir and still be heavy enough to hold the weight of the door. This repair took place at my cabin--miles from any hardware store. I found a long enough bolt and nut but it was a little too big for the hole in the hinge. I had to drill the hole in the hinge out so it would fit. Trying to reach the back of the bolt with a nut was a problem. I used tape wrapped backwards on my finger to hold the nut and then reached around to start the bolt into the nut. It too a few tries but I finally got it. Bottom screw was not a problem. It took about an hour and a half to fix the door but it works fine now.

I "rigged" it so we could use it. Then I found this site. Now we have a "NEW" refrigerator.

The video on the GE site was great. Showed step by step instructions on how to remove the old ice maker and install the new one. Also helpful was the detail on the water chute which needed to be moved from the old ice make to the new one. Saved hundreds of dollars by not having to have a repairman do this work for me.

heater was bad in freezer causing coils to get frozed solid replace heater with double unit

The part broke on Sat, my husband was out of town..I decided early Sunday morning to research the parts. I found partselect through my google search, just loved the site...very easy to locate the parts I needed...watched the video and decided I could fix it myself. Two days later I received the parts and it took me about 20 minutes to make the repair ..it was such a good feeling to know that I did it myself...I did not even have to rely on my husband ...love ...love...love this website!

like the video showed!
