CSX22GABCWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

After reordering a second unit, (because the first one was cracked), I gently pushed in both sides until the unit was in place. It was a snap.

Unplugged fridge.Removed 2 screws holding a panel. After panel removed took off old fan and inserted new. Quite simple.

removed drawer, unscrewed old slide, screwed on new slide, voila! finished! I was very pleased with PartSelect -- ordering was easy, the correct part came quickly, and packaged very well. All of life should work so smoothly!

I removed the door from the bottom hinge assembly by removing the top hinge assembly.
1. Installed the cam to the bottom of the door.
2. Installed hinge and bottom pin & cam to the refrigerator.
3. Reinstalled door and adjusted front roller height to make door close better.

I removed the top hinge by removing three screws, I then lifted the door off the bottem hinge and set it aside. I then removed the two screws holding the bottom hinge,removed it and installed the new part. I removed the broken part from the door by removing one screw-installed the new part and set the door in place and reinstalled the top hinge. The door is now properly aligned and working like new. I spent as much time writing this as I did on the repair

I removed food from shelf over crisper drawer, then removed shelf and crisper drawer, removed two phillips head screws in right side rail and replaced rail.

Easy as 1-2-3

It seems my refrigerator was old enough [1987] that the spacing on the holes for the bracket were different than the part that is currently sold. The holes on the new bracket were 30 mm apart on center, but on the old bracket they were 20 mm apart on center.

Clamped the old and new brackets together in a vise to use the old bracket for spacing and drilled a new hole through the 4mm of steel.

After which it was a snap installing the new hinge assembly.

First take all your junk off the shelf (with the broken rail of course), take the glass shelf off. Remove screws (phillips). Throw away old rail. Replace new rail, tighten screws. Replace shelf, replace junk. You're done.

Removed 8 rear panel screws
Removed sensor and heating elements
Replaced above parts, and panel
That was it.
I am waiting to make sure the timer is working else I will replace that too.

After easily finding the lower hinge here through Google, I paid about $30 w/shipping and had the part in 2 days. My Hotpoint fridge was made in 1987, but it still runs well...why not fix the door?

Part repair couldn't be easier. No instructions needed...just empty the fridge door of food, remove top hinge, replace bottom hinge and plastic bushing, and reverse order to button everything up.

PartSelect.com did a great job supplying a high-quality replacement hinge for my old fridge, and it's got a new lease on life now!

My right door (food door on side-by-side) stopped closing - I found pieces of the plastic washer (cam riser) on the floor. After reading the stories on the web I decided to order the new part - and YES there are many universal parts that work for Kenmore/GE. The part comes with two parts (hinge and cam riser) - you should install both to insure a good fit. I took 3 blocks of wood and a shim and supported the bottom center of the door, unscrewed the hinge off and dropped it out (3 minutes). The "only" tough part was unscrewing the cam riser from the bottom of the door - it required a very small socket and you will only have about 6-8 inches of work space. Be sure you have a socket that fits before you take the hinge off. The entire repair took less than 30 minutes and contrary to some of the posts, you DO NOT need to take the door off. Good as new again!

Very easy- just remove 2 screws and re-install using same screws and existing holes.

The repair took 5 minutes remove old screws wash well and screw in the two screws into new holder. Very simple all you need is a phillips screwdriver.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then tried to pull the element out but the wires were hung behind the coils. My sholders are too wide to get into the freezer in order to use two hands to pull the connector apart and I could not seprate the connector with one hand. My skinny wife came to the rescue. She climbed right in and took the connector apart and plugged in the new one (and she is a blond too). I put it all back together in reverse of taking it apart. Being able to use only one hand was the my challenge, but the job was easy.

Unscrew the two screws with a screwdriver and replace the new slide rail with the same screws.
