TFF-19DV-C General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed top hinge cover and screws. Lifted door off bottom hinge and replaced bottom hinge assembly.

I blocked the bottom of the door(CAREFULLY!!) in position to elevate the door & take strain off the lower hinge & pivot post, while maintaining proper door alignment. I removed the two screws holding the hinge & post assembly from the frame, saving the screws & spacer for reuse. I removed the two screws holding the upper cam bracket on the door, again keeping the attaching parts. I installed and carefully aligned the new cam, original spacer & retaining plate to the lower edge of the door. I installed the new hinge & post assembly using the existing spacer & screws. I aligned the door & seal while checking the gap from top to bottom and from side to side. I carefully tighten the screws and rechecked the gap between the door & frame as well as the alignemnt of the door seal. Once satisfied with the alignment, I finished tightening the screws. I emphasize care and extreme caution in reinstalling the screws, they are a self-tapping (self-threading) type of fastener and this requires caution to make sure they are started and installed in the original threads of the door & frame. I put them all in using only finger pressure until I was positive they were started straight, going into the original threads, NOT trying to cross-thread or cut new threads, the structure is too thin for that and stripped threads will result! The door alignment and gap spacing is critical, make sure to check these adjustments carefully to ensure proper operation. Total time of repair, less than 15 minutes. I hope I have not over-simplified this because I have over 55 years of Automotive shop experienced and an ASE Certified Master Auto & Truck Technician...:-)

Remove both lower drawers. Remove 2 screws form the broken slide. Position the replacement slide and tighten screws. Replace the storage drawers. New parts were delivered within 2 days.

This is a side by side freezer/refrigerator, nearly 30 years old. The repair was very quick and easy. 1. Remove two screws from top bracket. There is no cover for the top hinge on this older model. (2) Lift off door and set on kitchen table. (3) Remove two screws holding bottom door hinge. (4) remove two screws hold the cam and shims on the bottom of the door. (5) replace the broken cam on the door, and the bottom hinge assembly. (6) Replace the door on the bottom hinge. (7) Re-attach the top hinge screws, making sure the door is parallel to the freezer door. It took about 10 minutes to do all of the above. Best yet, I ordered the kit about 10am on a Monday, and the parts arrived, normal delivery, before noon the next day.PS- I used petroleum jelly to grease the hinge before replacing the door. The only tool I needed was a nutdriver.

I followed the link to the how-to video that was provided on the parts-page, watched it and then followed the recommended steps. It couldn't have been easier -- and I'm not a "handyman." Thanks to PartSelect, I was able to diagnose the problem, find the part that was needed and figure out how to install it. I'm a grateful customer.

I watched the repair video. Replaced the cam on the bottom of the door and the hinge pin. Now the door closes on its own, just like brand new.

Removed door with little or no difficulty. Only time consuming portion of repair was disconnection and reconnecting of water line to door. This difficulty was primary due to age of the unit. After repairing, I determined that the cam on the refrigerator was also damaged so ordered same part to replace the refrigerator side.

This was a Mother/Daughter feat. We viewed the video based on the bottom hinge assembly part that we had ordered. We did it exactly as shown and it was so easy. But while we had the door off we also had a chance to really clean the frigerator inside out. We were extremely happy that we were able to repair the frigerator oursleves and how much money we had saved by doing it. Thanks

With my wife's help, we emptied the door shelves and removed the door to the kitchen table. The video and instructions for replacing the parts were 100% right. We probably spent more time cleaning the door bottom and gasket than actually changing the hinge assembly! The job went very smoothly and saved us from overspending on a repair to this old fridge, or worse, making a quick decision on buying a new one.

replace the lower door hinge assy. and closer cam as a set.Only used a 1/4" socket and ratchet.The process was very easy without any problems.

Repair was exactly as described on U-Tube video. The whole process, including removing items stored on the refrig door, took around 20 minutes and involved only a screwdriver and one socket. Could not have been much easier. Dont know why I delayed fixing what had been a long term annoyance.

After receiving the part (quickly) my son-in-law replaced the old one without any trouble. Thanks very much

Very easy to repair. Make sure you have a block of wood the distance from the floor to the refrig door so the door does not fall on you. Remove the two bolts holding the door and carefully lift the door away from the fridge and lower it so it clears the top hinge. Carefully lay the door on it's side so you can remove the other two bolts and the other hinge. Remove the plastic refrig dairy door so it does not fall on the floor and crack when you remove the refrig door. Reverse the process to assemble.

I watched your video on the repair twice and then did the repair. . . Your video was a major help and the only reason I decided to do the repair myself. . . The video was excellent and gave m e info on every detail of the repair. . . . . Thanks
