HTM17BBSDRSA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

I pulled out the old one and slid in the new one. Doesn't get any easier, but I have learned for future reference that beer in the crisper equals cracked vegetable pan.

First off, the part came the very next morning on Fed Ex regular 2-3 day service! It's an easy replacement, just drops right in and the vegetable drawers fit perfectly. I was concerned that there might be some sizing variation because of the age of the refrigerator, but it fit perfectly, perhaps better that the original shelf and it's made better and has a more useful top surface with fewer ridges. Excellent service, and excellent product.

just put it in and done. Great replacement part.

Took old cover off, put new cover in.

Removed all of the stuff on the shelf, then I removed the two vegetable drawers, then I removed the cracked shelf and installed the new.

Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

We thought we would have to replace our frig, but found the part online and it fit perfectly. It's slightly different than the original because it is stronger. All we did was remove the items from the tray, unsnap the broken one and slide the new one into place.

Using plyers Pulled old switch down and out. Put new one in and pushed new switch up into position. The switch plugs into the contacts, no wiring needed. Worked like a charm. You saved me 200 dollars GE repair bill. Thanks

per your instructions

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

after simply replacing shelf, I used the enclosed plactic washers to raise the height of door, so it would clear new shelf. It all worked as planned, thanks

We removed the old Drawer Cover and replaced it with the new one. The Refrigerator Door had trouble closing. So we inserted the 2 plastic washers as described in the directions enclosed in the packaging. It was pretty straight forward and an easy fix. Thank you Hot Point and Part Select.

repalaced the old one with the new one. easy

Defrost timer is hidden in the control panel in the refrigerator top middle. Turn to off and remove two screws which are hidden behind white tabs. I had to pry the old timer from the plug with a screw driver because it was tight. Try not to short across the terminals. Plug in the new timer. Replace it in the clip where you got old one and reinstall the controls. The freezer was still all frosted up so I had to remove the cover and defrost it with a hair dryer to get it to work. Then I turned it on and it works great.

all I had to do is remove the broken cover then replace the new one which only took about 2 minutes. It was so easy and it is a little more durable than the original one.
