HSM25GFRESA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Installed new replacement slide rail. Only two screws hold it in place. Very easy.

After reading some of the reviews. I bought and replaced the main circuit board. The parts came quickly and the job took very little time. Good time to remove all the panels on the back and clean the dust off everything. Refrig. is running great now! Easy fix! Thanks to all the help.

I watched the video on the website and the repair was done quickly and easily. Turned out I didn't need any parts because the spring that closes the door had somehow gotten out of place. Returned spring to proper position and the door now closes. Due to the door staying open the ice in the dispenser was melting and refreezing, thereby stopping the flow of ice. Without the video I wouldn't have attempted this repair.

No big deal. Tiny space to work in. Patience. Patience

We received the part just a few days after ordering, unscrewed the old filter by hand, and installed the new filter the same way.

removed the drawers and glass top of bottom drawer then unscrewed the two screws, removed the broken arm, cleaned the area, placed the left drawer arm in place, screwed in the screws, put the glass top in place, replaced the drawers and was finished.

Little difficult getting the switch out, had to pry wth some force. New installation was real easy.

1. Unplug refrigerator 2. Remove cover from bottom rear of refrigerator 3. Remove screw from damaged part 4. Transfer over water lines to new part and reinstall 5. Plug refrigerator and test 6. Replace bottom rear cover 7. Move refrigerator back into position

I had replaced the thermastst first because 40-50% of people this solved the same problem that I was having. Not only that it was only $10.00, my multi meter was broken so a $10.00 part was less expensive than a $40.00(+-) meter to test what was broken for sure. Well that did not fix the problem. I read all the "repair reviews" on here and found that more than likely it was my heater that was bad. So next time I defrosted the freezer I was able to get a peak at the "bulb" on the heater, it was BLACK! I ordered the part ($50.00) and was totally surprised how EASY that was to put in!! It took way longer to defrost than install this part! My wife came to see, saw what I had to replace, and said sarcasticly "have fun figureing out how to get that off!" She came back in 10 min and I was putting the back panel on the freezer, she said "where you not able to get it off!?" I did not say a word just handed her the burnt out one with a grin! That was about 2 weeks ago everything is working fine... Of course I replaced my muli-meter already, but never even used it on the fridge! Oh well I got my fridge repaired and a real nice multi-meter for way less than a repairman would have charged!

it's a straightforward process. just align the wholes in the rails with the holes on the fridge wall and put the screws back in with the screw driver.

Replace main board.

Really easy- turned off ice maker, powered down appliance briefly. Removed ice maker by removing 3 screws with 1/4 nut driver. Unplugged ice maker from power supply. Removed and replaced solenoid arm assembly. Reversed steps and whammy - ice cubes dropped.

After watching the video it was easy. Took less than 10 minutes to replace. PartSelect really does it right with the consumer.

After discovering I could replace the part for a fraction of the cost of having a professional do it, I viewed the short video at part select. I was afraid i was oing to cause further damage when I was forcing the disassembly. The video confirmed I was doing it properly.

I looked at the video that came with the part and followed what i saw. My wife and i was about to go out and spend between $1500 and $2500 on a new refrigerator due to continuous defrosting. It had been happening for about a year. I followed the instructions from the video and the defrosting has stopped. Thanks so much for the video and the part! We do not need a new refrigerator after all.
