CSK20GABBAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed all the items off the shelves of the door. I then removed the top assembly,Then lifted the door off the the bottom hinge and laid it on a flat surface. I then removed and replaced the cam connector on the bottom of the door. I then removed and replaced the cam from the lower right side of the refrigerator. I put the door on the cam without assistance , then reassembled the top assembly. The refrigerator door operated immediately just like it did when it was new over 20 years ago.

Several months ago I had to replace the hinge and cam on the refrigerator door and the repair went smoothly as pictured in the video. This time I had to replace the cam on the freezer door so I ordered the hinge assembly, which included the cam. The web site confirmed that, according to the model number of my 27 year old refrigerator, the hinge assembly would fit. The problem I had was that the top hole in the hinge was positioned too high to fit the hole in the refrigerator so I had to put the old hinge back on, even though it showed some wear. The door closes smoothly by itself now.

I just followed the video instruction supplied by PartSelect and the whole thing was a breeze.

Removed freezer door, put a blanket over the opening to keep food frozen. Installed hinge and replaced door.

Removal was easy. The problem was that the old hinge had screws approximately 3/4 inch apart. The new hinge assembly had screws 1 inch apart. The threaded backing plate matched the 3/4 inch spaced old hinge but would not line up with the new one. There was a hole in the refrigerator frame but no way to hold the screw from the back. I had to fine a bolt and nut that would fir and still be heavy enough to hold the weight of the door. This repair took place at my cabin--miles from any hardware store. I found a long enough bolt and nut but it was a little too big for the hole in the hinge. I had to drill the hole in the hinge out so it would fit. Trying to reach the back of the bolt with a nut was a problem. I used tape wrapped backwards on my finger to hold the nut and then reached around to start the bolt into the nut. It too a few tries but I finally got it. Bottom screw was not a problem. It took about an hour and a half to fix the door but it works fine now.

shimed the door up to its proper level. removed plastic cam from bottom of door with a socket disconnected the water line fitting and clamp. with a nut driver removed the hinge assy from cabinet being careful i sled the hinge assy off the plastic water line being sure not to kink the line, sled the new hinge assy back on the water line and mounted the new hinge assy to the cabinet and connected the water line back up and turned on the water and checked for leaks, all went well. place the bottom grill cover back on.

Followed directions in your video. Very helpful. Be certain to pay strict attention to how old part is removed. Had a little trouble replacing door on lower pin/hinge. Helps to have a little assistance. Good suggestion from another customer: get the kit.

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.

like the video showed!

ordered new parts , came in 2 days and just made the repairs today and took only about 15 min total time all the parts fit right on and the only problem was holding the door and stting it on the lower rod, But my wife helped on the lower end. all in all it went great. Great servic and great parts. Bert Hoffman 79 years old

Part was received quickly and quickly installed-Thank you

I followed thevideo. It was very straight forward.

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

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 did exactly as the video instructed. Removed the top hinge bracket. Removed the door. Replaced the parts on both the door and the freezer, taking care to save and re-install the shims. I put the door back in place and installed the top hinge. I also lubed the hinge pins with very light grease. The door now works perfectly.
