CSK20GABCAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Used (2) 2 x 4's as block and lever to raise door removed 2 screws and removed door used same socket to remove and replace door side of replacement part. replaced door. This is the second time I have replaced this part on frig. side. Very easy replacement.

I pulled all the items out of door, removed door top hinge cover, lifted the door off the hinge and removed the bottom hinge and closing cams and replaced them and re hung the door, just about that fast.

PS
Thanks for the parts

Removed the refrigerator door. Replaced the cam riser bushing on the bottom of the door. I then removed the hinge bracket on the bottom of the refrigerator after removing the grill (oh yuk, what a mess under the refrigerator). I put the new bracket on and replaced the door. All is working well again. Thanks for the hints and the parts.

This door was a problem for 1-2 years before I realized it had dropped about 2 inches. On close examination I saw that the hinge parts had completely broke down.
Had original manual-looked up model # on line under GE appliance and was surprised to find a large complete parts dwg showing parts I needed. Decided I needed the hinge assy.
Removed the door cap on top,replaced hinge assy and remounted door in reverse.--Works like new.

Part no. Ps290199 received matched part no. Ordered, which I obtained from your web site, however, part did not exactly match oem part. It was necessary to drill a new top hole in each of the hinges. New hole center was drilled 1/2" off (lower) then hole in supplied part. Jpb could have been accomplished easily by the avg. Homeowner, but the drilling required a little more skill & possible some tools that an average homeowner does not possess. Otherwise job was relatively easy and satisfactorily completed.

1. Blocked up the door keep it steadily and enable ease access to screws.
2. Removed screws holding the door closing cam and lower door attach bracket.
3. Disconnected clamp holding the water supply line for the water and ice dispenser and disconnected the water line at the joint.
4. Removed the broken cam and put the new one in it's place, threading the water supply line through the hole of the cam.
5. Put everything back together in reverse sequence of removal.

It was really easy for me....my son told me what part I needed. I ordered it, and he installed it!

I followed the many post on replacing this part and everything went well. I had a little trouble getting the hinge post into the new hinge assembly, but with a slight adjustment it fell into place. I checked to see what tools I would need to do the job and had them ready before I even started. I removed the door and had it back on in maybe 10 minutes and I am not exactly Mr. Fix It. The only advice I can add to what everyone else has said is you should look the job over a little before you take the door off and have your tools ready. Then you won't have the door off for too long. I'd like to thank this site and everyone who gave advice on how to fix this problem. It made the whole job very easy.

Removed old part & screwed in new rail.
I would like to mention that the speed in which my order was sent was fantastic & your website was really easy to use. Which not being a very savvy computer person is a real compliment!! A pleasure doing business with you. I would highly recommend your company.

Removed top hinge assembly to pull door away from bottom hinge (2x hex bolts) Discovered that the pin on the bottom assembly had broken off. Removed and replaced bottom hinge assembly (2x hex bolts). Aligned door with top and bottom hinge pins. Tightened all hex bolts. Done

This is a side-by-side unit. After blocking up the closed refrigerator door to the correct height to match the freezer door, I removed the lower hinge pin assembly by taking out two bolts. Save the shims (my had two) for the new hinge pin. Then remove the cam riser from the bottom of the door by taking out two bolts. Install the new cam riser on the bottom on the door. Then install the new hinge pin assembly. Total time 15 minutes.

Emptied glass shelf, removed , removed old rail. Put new rail in with original screws ,then glass shelf. Done

blocked up refrigerator door.removed old hinge, and put new one on,with socket set.

on the refrigerator side remove two screws from hinge on top of door, pick doorup to remove from bottom hinge using a 5/16 socket remove the two screws holding hinge in place, replace with new hinge. on the door loosen up the screws, no need to remove. the screw closest to the hing axis remove completely remove the old cam, insert new cam lined up with axis of hinge reinsert screw, place door back on hinge and replace hinge on top. the freezer side has water an ice in the door.at the bottom [grill has been removed] of the door a plastic tubing has to be disconnected [make sure water is off] the disconnect is near the door, the coupling is only finger tight. uncou[ple plastic coupling and pull out of connection, pull the nut and ferule off the tubing. now take top hinge off, remove door straight up while feeding plastic tubing thru hinge. the hinge is replaced the same way as the other side. when new hinge an cam are in place, lift door up now feed the plastic tubing thru the hinge till door is in place, replace top hinge. when you reconnect the plastic tubing it helps if you place a lubricant on the end so that you slide the nut and ferule on. the connection should only be finger tight, no wrenches
