CRSH232PB5 Crosley Refrigerator - Instructions

No previous experience with this appliance, a 36 inch side by side unit. Had to determine how to access the area to replace the part. This is done from the front with the door closed. The bottom shelf in the dispenser area elevates and slips out. Retainer screws are then evident. Remove screws that hold trim and then unplug the electric attachment for the switches from the trim which contains the light and selection controls. Next remove the screws placed around the circuit board holder. This then allows the section attaching the ice dispenser and water dispenser to be pulled forward. Do not disconnect the water tube. Two small metal retainers for the water dispenser can then be removed (three small screws) carefully. Remove the broken part of the old actuator and place the new one in the slots. Replace the retainers (start the retainer screws by hand unless you have a magnetic screwdriver). Replace the section holding the circuit board; then the trim and the bottom shelf. Easier than anticipated.

Not knowing the history of the refrigerator/freezer and observing that the icemaker would cycle (ice ejector fingers would rotate when the off/on arm was toggled), I concluded that the water valve must have some hard water scale in it which was causing it to stick. I replaced the water valve and the exact same behavior continued. By elimination, I concluded that the microswitch in the icemaker must be sticking. I removed the icemaker, used a hair blow-dryer to heat/dry out the microswitches and then a little shot of WD-40 on the mechanical arms, switches, and cams fixed it.

Turn off ice maker
Slide wire harness shield off connector
Disconnected harness
Loosened 2 wall screws
Remove old ice maker
Installed new one reversing process

Shut off water supply at the main, drained water from lines, pushed filter in from end of filter then pulled out. Removed the 2 plastic protecting tubes from the inlet and outlet stems. Made sure filter was facing same way as the old one, pushed filter in making sure it was locked, turned water supply on slowly, ran about a gallon of water thru filter. If not done the taste is odd. 5 minute repair.

Replaced bad parts with new parts it went easy

removed water tray, used a razor blade to brake the seal from the face plate and the fridge, The hardest part was the three screws holding the dispenser face place on where rusted over. I wound up drilling them out. Once the screws removed, a slight lift, the face plate comes right off. I unplugged the cable, and set it aside. Now remove the next three screws, and the dispenser falls forward, (as far as the water line allows) undo the screws leaving the one emplace to hold the ice lever. push up twist. The hard part is getting the new one up and in. just takes a little patients.

I removed the back cover and removed the clip holding the compressor- run capacitor and start relay. I replaced these 2 components and clean the dust from the frig., and from the bottom of the floor. I replaced the back cover ; Loss about $300 worth of meat when when the frig. failed. Then I thought that, during these turbulent times, there are many which don't have a refrigerator or any meat to place in it, The refrigerator is "running" normal again.

great push old in came out and push new one in

Looked it up on how to, follow the video
. Very easy 1-2-3 it was out and new one in..........??.

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

It was as simple as removing two hex head screws to remove the old ice maker, then aligning the new ice maker (ensuring the downspout from the water supply was directed into the opening designated for it) and then screwing the two screws back into place. The most difficult part is the space that you have to work with. It was a little difficult and frustrating, but put in place, an hour later we had ice and it's worked great since!

Removed the old filter and took off the water caps and pushed it in place. Then I used a pitcher to clear the air from the line and we are good to go for 6 more months

It was real easy took the lines off one by one put them on the new unit one by one same with the three plugs than tighten new unit back on fridge.

The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.

I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.

When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

It was so easy, I just lifted the old one off and the new went right into place. No tools needed.
